No. Qwen3 32B does not fit on RTX 3080 10GB: Q4_K_M needs 22.2 GB and 9.5 GB is usable.
Hardware: RTX 3080 10GB · Model: Qwen3 32B
RTX 3080 10GB has 10 GB of VRAM and 760 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The checker holds back 0.5 GB of VRAM for the driver and assumes 16 GB of system RAM, so fast memory usable by Ollama is 9.5 GB. Partial offload may also use 60% of that system RAM. Qwen3 32B (32.8B, Alibaba) at Q4_K_M is a 20 GB download and needs 22.2 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.

Smallest hardware that runs it: RTX 4060 Ti 16GB at Q4_K_M (partial offload (slower), 22.2 GB needed, 15.5 GB usable, about 4 tok/s (estimate)). Can a RTX 4060 Ti 16GB run Qwen3 32B?
A smaller Alibaba model that fits this hardware: Qwen 2.5 14B at Q4_K_M (partial offload (slower), 10.3 GB). Can a RTX 3080 10GB run Qwen 2.5 14B?
