Can I run Qwen3.5 0.8B on GeForce RTX 4060?
Runs great
Runs great fully on your GeForce RTX 4060 at BF16, 8K context, about 92–126 tok/s. Weights 1.41 GB plus 0.10 GB of KV cache — 1.83 GB of 7.13 GB usable. Up to 256K context still fits.

Assumptions
- Estimate from memory bandwidth, not a benchmark. Decode speed uses 55–75% of peak bandwidth.
- KV cache is FP16. Engine overhead assumes llama.cpp (0.3 GB + 1% of the weights). Ollama is closer to 0.9 GB + 3%, LM Studio closer to 1 GB + 3%.
- BF16 size is the real GGUF file size from Hugging Face.
- 0.5 GB is reserved because this GPU also drives a display, then 5% of the rest is left free.
- Speed is quoted at 8K context, not at the maximum context that still fits.
