Sized at Q4_K_M with a 8K context: weights, KV cache and framework overhead, against what Laptop with RTX 4060 8GB leaves free. Qwen 3 8B at Q4_K_M needs 7 GB and you have 8 GB available, so it fits with 1 GB to spare. Expect 25.7–49.3 tok/s (estimated).
Qwen 3 8B at Q4_K_M needs 7 GB and you have 8 GB available, so it fits with 1 GB to spare.
Your machine is not exactly this one. Run this for your exact setup — the form opens pre-filled with Laptop with RTX 4060 8GB and Qwen 3 8B.
Yes. Qwen 3 8B at Q4_K_M needs 7 GB and you have 8 GB available, so it fits with 1 GB to spare.
Around 25.7–49.3 tok/s (estimated) on this setup at Q4_K_M. Decode speed on a local model is set by memory bandwidth rather than compute, so the figure moves with the card's bandwidth and the bytes read per token — not with its price.
Yes, and it is the figure people forget. The 7 GB above already includes the KV cache at 8K; that cache grows roughly linearly with context, so doubling the window adds real gigabytes rather than a rounding error. If you plan to work with long documents on Laptop with RTX 4060 8GB, size for the context you will actually use, not the default.
