Qwen 3 235B-A22B (MoE) on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: 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 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti: 8K 144.3 GB ✗ · 32K 149 GB ✗ · 125K 167.3 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.
