Can I run Qwen2.5 Coder 14B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB)?
Yes. Qwen2.5 Coder 14B runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) at Q4_K_M (~10.1 GB of ~15 GB usable).
Runs at Q4_K_M using ~10.1 GB of ~15 GB usable.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes. Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) leaves ~4.9 GB of headroom.

Running cost · estimate

- Pays for itself after
- ~2,626M tok
At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~22 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.31 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 2,626 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 Qwen2.5 Coder 14B?
Yes. Qwen2.5 Coder 14B runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) at Q4_K_M (~10.1 GB of ~15 GB usable).
How much memory does Qwen2.5 Coder 14B need?
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) has room to spare. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~8.37 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~10.1 GB at a 4k context.
What is the best tool to run Qwen2.5 Coder 14B 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.
