Can I Run Qwen 2.5 VL on NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation?
Autor: Jakub Rusinowski · Ostatnia aktualizacja: 21 lipca 2026
Yes, but it's tight — Qwen 2.5 VL 72B Instruct at Q4_K_M needs 47.8 GB at 8K context (44.3 GB weights + 3.5 GB KV cache/overhead), leaving ~0.2 GB of the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation's 48 GB, at ~19 tok/s (est.), with room for up to 8K context.

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 48 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 RTX 6000 Ada Generation: 8K 47.8 GB · 32K 55.9 GB ✗ · 125K 87.1 GB ✗. Past 32K it no longer fits 48 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
No compatible GPU? Qwen 2.5 VL on 8 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs, but it is tight.
