Can I Run Qwen 2.5 Coder 32B on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060?
作者： Jakub Rusinowski · 最后更新： 2026年9月19日
No. Qwen 2.5 Coder 32B needs 19.3 GB at Q4_K_M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 has only 8 GB. No quantization we publish closes a gap that size.

Qwen 2.5 Coder 32B on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060: VRAM by quantization
| Quant | VRAM needed | Fits 8 GB? | Max context | Whole PC |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| F16 | 65.9 GB | ✗ No | — | — |
| Q8_0 | 35.9 GB | ✗ No | — | — |

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 4060: 8K 22.3 GB ✗ · 32K 28.7 GB ✗ · 128K 54.5 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 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop GPU (24 GB), the cheapest card we track with enough VRAM.
No compatible GPU? Qwen 2.5 Coder 32B on 32 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs comfortably.
