Yes. Ministral 3 3B fits in fast memory on RTX 4070 12GB at Q8_0 (5.6 GB needed, 11.5 GB usable), about 67 tok/s (estimate).
Hardware: RTX 4070 12GB · Model: Ministral 3 3B
RTX 4070 12GB has 12 GB of VRAM and 504 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. Ministral 3 3B (3.85B, Mistral) at Q8_0 is a 4.5 GB download and needs 5.6 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.
