No. Granite 4.2 30B does not fit on RTX 4060 8GB: Q4_K_M needs 20.1 GB and 7.5 GB is usable.
Hardware: RTX 4060 8GB · Model: Granite 4.2 30B
RTX 4060 8GB has 8 GB of VRAM and 272 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 7.5 GB. Partial offload may also use 60% of that system RAM. Granite 4.2 30B (29.3B, IBM) at Q4_K_M is a 18 GB download and needs 20.1 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.

Smallest hardware that runs it: RTX 3060 12GB at Q4_K_M (partial offload (slower), 20.1 GB needed, 11.5 GB usable, about 4 tok/s (estimate)). Can a RTX 3060 12GB run Granite 4.2 30B?
A smaller IBM model that fits this hardware: Granite 4.2 8B at Q5_K_M (fits in fast memory, 7.3 GB). Can a RTX 4060 8GB run Granite 4.2 8B?
