Can I run Ornith 1.0 35B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB)?
No. Ornith 1.0 35B needs ~23.2 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) only has ~15 GB usable.
Needs ~23.2 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 8.2 GB: Ornith 1.0 35B needs roughly 23.2 GB at Q4_K_M and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) leaves only about 15 GB usable for a model. The lightest tracked hardware that runs Ornith 1.0 35B is the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB) at 32 GB. See Ornith 1.0 35B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB).

FAQ
Can Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) run Ornith 1.0 35B?
No. Ornith 1.0 35B needs ~23.2 GB even at Q4_K_M, but Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) only has ~15 GB usable.
How much memory does Ornith 1.0 35B need?
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) does not have enough memory. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~21 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~23.2 GB at a 4k context. It is a Mixture-of-Experts model (35B total / 3B active), so all experts must stay in memory; memory tracks total params, not active params.
What is the best tool to run Ornith 1.0 35B 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.
