No — Llama 3.3 doesn't fit the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB's 16 GB; you're short by ~9.2 GB even at Q2_K. The cheapest card that runs it is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU (24 GB).

Llama 3.3 70B Instruct on the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB: 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 16 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 Q2_K_XS (Tight) on the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB: 8K 23.7 GB ✗ · 32K 31.7 GB ✗ · 128K 64 GB ✗. Past 8K it no longer fits 16 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.

No compatible GPU? Llama 3.3 70B Instruct on 256 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs, but too slowly to be worth it.

Why It Does Not Fit
