Yes — the DGX Spark (GH200 480GB) (480 GB LPDDR5X) can run Qwen3.5-35B-A3B. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 20.16 GB VRAM (weights 19.09 GB + KV cache 0.08 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 480 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 106.1 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 70.48 GB) also fits, at ≈ 29.2 tok/s (estimated). Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology. Buy DGX Spark (GH200 480GB) on Amazon →

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	20.12 GB	Yes	106.1 ± est.
Q4	8K default	20.16 GB	Yes	106.1 ± est.
Q4	32K	20.39 GB	Yes	106.1 ± est.
FP16	4K	70.44 GB	Yes	29.2 ± est.
FP16	8K default	70.48 GB	Yes	29.2 ± est.
FP16	32K	70.7 GB	Yes	29.2 ± est.

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
