Can RTX 4060 8GB run Ornith-1.0-9B?

NVIDIA · 8 GB GDDR6 · 272 GB/s bandwidth · DeepReinforce · 9.0B · model ctx up to 256K

Partly — Ornith-1.0-9B at Q4 fits the RTX 4060 8GB (8 GB GDDR6) at 4K context (≈ 6.85 GB) but not at the default 8K (≈ 7.75 GB needed). Use a shorter context or partial offload. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 58.6 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 20.8 GB — does not fit on this card. Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	6.85 GB	Yes	19.2 est.
Q4	8K default	7.75 GB	No	58.6 est.
Q4	32K	13.15 GB	No	20.3 est.
FP16	4K	19.9 GB	No	2.4 est.
FP16	8K default	20.8 GB	No	2.2 est.
FP16	32K	26.2 GB	No	1.4 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).
