Yes. Qwen 3 14B needs 8.9 GB at Q4_K_M and the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB has 16 GB, leaving about 7.1 GB of headroom, at roughly 22 tok/s (estimated) with room for up to 32K of context.

The numbers

Qwen 3 14B on the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB: VRAM by quantization

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 11.1 GB · 32K 15.1 GB · 125K 30.7 GB ✗. Past 125K 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

Nothing to change — run it at Q4_K_M. If you want more capability, check whether the next size up also fits.

No compatible GPU? Qwen 3 14B on 16 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs, but it is tight.
