No — Qwen3.5-122B-A10B-Heretic-v2-MLX-mixed-3.8bit at Q4 needs ≈ 13.87 GB even at 4K context, beyond the RTX 4060 8GB's 8 GB GDDR6. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 6.3 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 44.56 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	13.87 GB	No	8.3 ± est.
Q4	8K default	15.85 GB	No	6.3 ± est.
Q4	32K	27.73 GB	No	2.1 ± est.
FP16	4K	42.58 GB	No	—
FP16	8K default	44.56 GB	No	—
FP16	32K	56.44 GB	No	—

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).
