Can I run DeepSeek-V4-Pro on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB)?
No. DeepSeek-V4-Pro needs ~965 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) only has ~15 GB usable.
Needs ~965 GB even at Q4_K_M, but only ~15 GB is usable.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes.
The gap is about 950 GB: DeepSeek-V4-Pro needs roughly 965 GB at Q4_K_M and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) leaves only about 15 GB usable for a model. No single tracked device has enough memory; DeepSeek-V4-Pro needs a multi-GPU or high-memory rig.

FAQ
Can Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) run DeepSeek-V4-Pro?
No. DeepSeek-V4-Pro needs ~965 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) only has ~15 GB usable.
How much memory does DeepSeek-V4-Pro need?
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) does not have enough memory. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~954.58 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~965 GB at a 4k context. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model (1600B total / 49B active), so all experts must stay in memory; memory tracks total params, not active params.
What is the best tool to run DeepSeek-V4-Pro 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.
