Can I Run EXAONE 3.5 2.4B on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060?
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated July 12, 2026
Yes. EXAONE 3.5 2.4B needs 2.9 GB at 8K context (1.4 GB weights + 1.5 GB KV cache/overhead) at Q4_K_M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 has 8 GB, leaving about 5.1 GB of headroom, at roughly 108 tok/s (estimated) with room for up to 32K of context.

EXAONE 3.5 2.4B on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060: VRAM by quantization
| Quant | VRAM needed | Fits 8 GB? | Max context | Whole PC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F16 | 6.2 GB | ✓ Yes | 16K | — |
| Q8_0 | 4 GB | ✓ Yes | 32K | — |
| Q6_K | 3.4 GB | ✓ Yes | 32K | — |
| Q5_K_M | 3.1 GB | ✓ Yes | 32K | — |
| Q4_K_M | 2.9 GB | ✓ Yes | 32K | — |
| Q3_K_M | 2.5 GB | ✓ Yes | 32K | — |
| Q2_K | 2.2 GB | ✓ Yes | 32K | — |
Assumes an 8K-token context with an f16 KV cache. A longer window needs more; a quantized KV cache needs less. “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 8 GB. Figures are estimates from parameter count, quantization and memory bandwidth — the analyzer lets you tune KV-cache quant and context.
Context costs VRAM too. At Q4_K_M on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060: 8K 2.9 GB · 32K 4.8 GB. Every window this model publishes still fits 8 GB.
What to do next
Nothing to change — run it at Q4_K_M. If you want more capability, check whether the next size up also fits.
