No. Command R (35B) needs 21.1 GB at Q4_K_M and the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB has only 16 GB. No quantization we publish closes a gap that size.

Assumes a 4K-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 16 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 AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB: 8K 32.7 GB ✗ · 32K 64.9 GB ✗ · 125K 189.7 GB ✗. Past 8K it no longer fits 16 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.

What to do next

Either step down to a smaller size in this family, or move to a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 (24 GB), the cheapest card we track with enough VRAM.

No compatible GPU? Command R Family on 256 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs, but too slowly to be worth it.
