Yes. Mistral Nemo 12B fits in fast memory on RTX 3080 12GB at Q5_K_M (9.9 GB needed, 11.5 GB usable), about 63 tok/s (estimate).
Hardware: RTX 3080 12GB · Model: Mistral Nemo 12B
RTX 3080 12GB has 12 GB of VRAM and 912 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 11.5 GB. Partial offload may also use 60% of that system RAM. Mistral Nemo 12B (12.2B, Mistral) at Q5_K_M is a 8.7 GB download and needs 9.9 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.
