Can I run Command A on Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB)?
No. Command A needs ~70.4 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB) only has ~31 GB usable.
Needs ~70.4 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~31 GB is usable.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes.
The gap is about 39.4 GB: Command A needs roughly 70.4 GB at Q4_K_M and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB) leaves only about 31 GB usable for a model. The lightest tracked hardware that runs Command A is the Apple M4 Max (128GB) at 128 GB. See Command A on Apple M4 Max (128GB).
Too big for Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB)'s VRAM, but you could offload some layers to system RAM and still run it at roughly ~0.8 tok/s, far slower than a model that fits. How this is estimated.

FAQ
Can Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB) run Command A?
No. Command A needs ~70.4 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB) only has ~31 GB usable.
How much memory does Command A need?
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB) does not have enough memory. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~67.1 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~70.4 GB at a 4k context.
What is the best tool to run Command A on Windows?
LM Studio for a simple setup; Ollama (CUDA) for the most speed. AMD GPUs run via Vulkan/ROCm at roughly half CUDA throughput. NVIDIA is the smooth path on Windows.

Weights are measured from GGUF files; KV cache and overhead are computed, so totals can vary ~15% with context and runtime. Any tok/s is a bandwidth estimate. See methodology.
