Can I run Qwen3 Coder 30B A3B Instruct on RTX 6000 Ada?

Runs

Runs fully on your RTX 6000 Ada at UD-Q8_K_XL, 8K context, about 122–166 tok/s. Weights 33.5 GB plus 0.75 GB of KV cache — 34.9 GB of 45.1 GB usable. Up to 64K context still fits.

Assumptions

• Estimate, not a benchmark. Decode speed uses a memory-bandwidth model at 55–75% of peak.
• 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%.
• UD-Q8_K_XL 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.
