Can the RTX 6000D run Qwen3.6 35B A3B?
Yes. Qwen3.6 35B A3B fits the RTX 6000D's 84 GB at Q4_K_M (about 22.8 GB needed), running at an estimated 343 tok/s. There's room for up to FP16 if you want higher quality.

| Quant | Weights | Needs | Fit | Est. speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | 21 GB | 22.8 GB | Fits easily | ~343 tok/s |
| Q5_K_M | 26 GB | 27.8 GB | Fits easily | ~277 tok/s |
| Q8_0 | 39 GB | 40.8 GB | Fits easily | ~185 tok/s |
| FP16 | 72 GB | 73.8 GB | Tight | ~100 tok/s |
Estimates. Needs = weights + 1.8 GB for KV cache and runtime at modest context. Speed is single-stream decode scaled from the RTX 6000D's 1570 GB/s bandwidth (Estimated from memory bandwidth (llama.cpp decode)). Long contexts need more memory and run slower.

Frequently asked
Quick answers
Can the RTX 6000D run Qwen3.6 35B A3B?
Yes. Qwen3.6 35B A3B fits the RTX 6000D's 84 GB at Q4_K_M (about 22.8 GB needed), running at an estimated 343 tok/s. There's room for up to FP16 if you want higher quality.
How much VRAM does Qwen3.6 35B A3B need?
About 21 GB of weights at Q4_K_M, 39 GB at Q8_0 and 72 GB at FP16. Add roughly 1.8 GB for the KV cache and runtime at modest context lengths.
How fast is Qwen3.6 35B A3B on the RTX 6000D?
Roughly 343 tokens per second at Q4_K_M (single user, llama.cpp-style decode). This is an estimate from the RTX 6000D's 1570 GB/s memory bandwidth; as a mixture-of-experts model only about 3B parameters are read per token, which is why it is faster than its size suggests.
