Can I run LFM2 700M on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB)?
Yes. LFM2 700M runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) at Q4_K_M (~1.9 GB of ~15 GB usable).
Runs at Q4_K_M using ~1.9 GB of ~15 GB usable. You have room for FP16 for higher quality.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes. Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) leaves ~13.1 GB of headroom, room to step up to FP16 for higher quality.

- Pays for itself after
- ~1,062M tok
At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~203 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.03 in electricity. Versus a hosted API at ~$0.5 per million tokens, the ~$499 Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) pays for itself after roughly 1,062 million tokens, so local hardware is mostly a fixed cost, not a per-token one. TDP is the peak draw, so this is an upper bound. Assumptions.

FAQ
Can Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) run LFM2 700M?
Yes. LFM2 700M runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) at Q4_K_M (~1.9 GB of ~15 GB usable).
How much memory does LFM2 700M need?
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) has room to spare. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~0.92 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~1.9 GB at a 4k context.
What is the best tool to run LFM2 700M 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.
