Autor: Jakub Rusinowski · Ostatnia aktualizacja: 11 września 2026

No. Qwen3-Coder 480B-A35B (MoE) needs 289.8 GB at Q4_K_M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti has only 8 GB. No quantization we publish closes a gap that size.

Qwen3-Coder 480B-A35B (MoE) on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 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 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 3070 Ti: 8K 291.6 GB ✗ · 32K 294.8 GB ✗ · 128K 307.2 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.

What to do next

Either step down to a smaller size in this family, or move to a Apple M3 Ultra (512 GB), the cheapest card we track with enough VRAM.
