Not at Q4_K_M — that needs 19.3 GB and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super has 16 GB. Drop to Q2_K and it fits in 13.5 GB, with up to 8K of context.

The numbers

Model	DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 32B
Parameters	32B

VRAM needed	19.3 GB
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Super VRAM	16 GB
Verdict	Runs at a lower quant

Quantize to Q2_K. That is the cheapest fix — it costs some quality but no money.
