FAQ

What does the verdict for GeForce RTX 4090 mean?

Memory is the GGUF file, plus KV cache at 8,192 tokens, plus a 0.5 GiB engine allowance, then 5% headroom. Fits means that total is at most 85% of fast memory. Tight means it still fits. Offload means it needs system RAM. No means it does not fit in VRAM plus system RAM after an 8 GB Windows reserve. The formula is on the methodology page.

What memory did you count as usable?

Fast memory is the full 24 GB. System RAM is assumed to be 32 GB DDR5-5600, with 8 GB kept for Windows, and you can change that on the homepage calculator.

Why is speed a range?

Decode speed is memory bandwidth divided by the bytes read per token. The high end is 80% of that roofline on the weights alone. The low end is 55% once the KV cache at the working context is included. It is not a benchmark.

How should I run Qwen3.6 35B-A3B?

The table uses each model's recommended quant, usually Q4_K_M or the vendor's published quant. Qwen3.6 35B-A3B has no verified Ollama tag, so no command is shown.
