No. Granite 4.1 30B needs 30.9 GB at FP8 (Q4 est. ~12-15GB, unconfirmed) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB has only 8 GB. No quantization we publish closes a gap that size.

Assumes a 4K-token context with an f16 KV cache, on an estimated architecture — this model publishes no config we can read. 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 FP8 (Q4 est. ~12-15GB, unconfirmed) on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB: 8K 33.5 GB ✗ · 32K 38.9 GB ✗ · 128K 60.2 GB ✗. Past 8K it no longer fits 8 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
Either step down to a smaller size in this family, or move to a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (32 GB), the cheapest card we track with enough VRAM.
No compatible GPU? Granite 4.1 30B on 32 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs comfortably.
