Yes. Qwen 3.5 9B needs 5.4 GB at Q4_K_M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB has 8 GB, leaving about 2.6 GB of headroom, at roughly 55 tok/s (estimated) with room for up to 4K of context.

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 Q4_K_M on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB: 8K 7.4 GB · 32K 11.1 GB ✗ · 128K 25.6 GB ✗. Past 32K it no longer fits 8 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
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 3.5 9B on 16 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs, but it is tight.
