Can the RTX 4070 run Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct?
Just. Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct at Q4_K_M needs about 10.8 GB of the RTX 4070's 12 GB, running at an estimated 32 tok/s. Keep context short and close other GPU apps.

| Quant | Weights | Needs | Fit | Est. speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | 9 GB | 10.8 GB | Tight | ~32 tok/s |
| Q5_K_M | 11 GB | 12.8 GB | Too big | - |
| Q8_0 | 16 GB | 17.8 GB | Too big | - |
| FP16 | 30 GB | 31.8 GB | Too big | - |
Estimates. Needs = weights + 1.8 GB for KV cache and runtime at modest context. Speed is single-stream decode scaled from the RTX 4070's 504 GB/s bandwidth (Estimated from memory bandwidth (llama.cpp decode)). Long contexts need more memory and run slower.

Frequently asked
Quick answers
Can the NVIDIA RTX 4070 run Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct?
Just. Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct at Q4_K_M needs about 10.8 GB of the RTX 4070's 12 GB, running at an estimated 32 tok/s. Keep context short and close other GPU apps.
How much VRAM does Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct need?
About 9 GB of weights at Q4_K_M, 16 GB at Q8_0 and 30 GB at FP16. Add roughly 1.8 GB for the KV cache and runtime at modest context lengths.
How fast is Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct on the RTX 4070?
Roughly 32 tokens per second at Q4_K_M (single user, llama.cpp-style decode). This is an estimate from the RTX 4070's 504 GB/s memory bandwidth.
