Can I Run IBM Granite 4.0 on RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Desktop (16 GB VRAM, 32 GB RAM)?
作者： Jakub Rusinowski · 最后更新： 2026年8月15日
Yes
Yes — Granite 4.0 Small-H 32B-A9B at Q2_K needs about 13.2 GB of the 16 GB usable on RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Desktop (16 GB VRAM, 32 GB RAM) (~2.8 GB spare), at ~72.5 tok/s (estimated), with room for about 16,384 tokens of context.
Confidence: medium · Recommended quantization: Q2_K · Estimated speed: ~72.5 tok/s

What to watch out for
- Q2_K is the only quantization that fits, and it is a heavily degraded one — expect noticeably worse output than the same model at Q4_K_M. A smaller model at Q4 is usually the better trade.
- 1 larger variant of IBM Granite 4.0 does not fit and would need CPU offload or different hardware.
- This model does not publish its full attention configuration, so the KV-cache share of these figures is inferred from its parameter count rather than computed exactly.
RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB desktop limitations
- The cheapest current 16 GB card, but its 448 GB/s bandwidth caps generation speed well below a 5080 on the same model.
Recommended setup
Ollama or llama.cpp (CUDA/ROCm) — vLLM if you need concurrent serving
How these numbers are calculated
- Memory need = quantized weights + KV cache at 8,192 tokens (f16) + 0.8 GB runtime overhead.
- 16 GB of VRAM on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB at 448 GB/s.
- 32 GB of system RAM available for CPU offload when a model exceeds VRAM.
- Throughput is a memory-bandwidth roofline estimate, not a measurement. It is labelled "estimated" everywhere it appears.
- KV cache is inferred from the parameter count because this model does not publish its full attention configuration.
FAQ
Can I run IBM Granite 4.0 on RTX 5060 Ti 16 GB Desktop (16 GB VRAM, 32 GB RAM)?
