No. DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B does not fit on RTX 4060 Ti 16GB: Q4_K_M needs 47.1 GB and 15.5 GB is usable.
Hardware: RTX 4060 Ti 16GB · Model: DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B
RTX 4060 Ti 16GB has 16 GB of VRAM and 288 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 15.5 GB. Partial offload may also use 60% of that system RAM. DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B (70.6B, DeepSeek) at Q4_K_M is a 43 GB download and needs 47.1 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.

Smallest hardware that runs it: M1 Max (32c GPU) 64GB at Q4_K_M (fits in fast memory, 47.1 GB needed, 48.0 GB usable, about 7 tok/s (estimate)). Can a M1 Max (32c GPU) 64GB run DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B?
A smaller DeepSeek model that fits this hardware: DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 32B at Q4_K_M (partial offload (slower), 22.2 GB). Can a RTX 4060 Ti 16GB run DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 32B?
