Hardware: RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB · Model: DeepSeek R1 Distill Llama 70B

RTX 4070 Ti Super 16GB has 16 GB of VRAM and 672 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.
