Qwen 3.6 — Frequently Asked Questions

How much VRAM does Qwen 3.6 need?

Can I run Qwen 3.6 on an RTX 4090 (24 GB)?

Yes — Qwen 3.6 runs on an RTX 4090 (24 GB) and other 24 GB cards such as the RTX 3090. Smaller variants also fit comfortably on 8–16 GB GPUs at Q4_K_M.

What quantization should I use for Qwen 3.6?

Q4_K_M is the best balance of quality and VRAM for Qwen 3.6 in most cases. Choose Q8_0 for near-lossless quality if you have spare VRAM, or smaller quants (Q3/Q2) only when memory is tight.
