Can RTX 5090 32GB run Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct?

NVIDIA · 32 GB GDDR7 · 1792 GB/s bandwidth · Alibaba · 14.8B · model ctx up to 32K

Yes — the RTX 5090 32GB (32 GB GDDR7) can run Qwen2.5-Coder-14B-Instruct. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 12.1 GB VRAM (weights 8.14 GB + KV cache 2.96 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 32 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 77.1 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 33.56 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	10.62 GB	Yes	77.1 est.
Q4	8K default	12.1 GB	Yes	77.1 est.
Q4	32K	20.98 GB	Yes	77.1 est.
FP16	4K	32.08 GB	No	60.2 est.
FP16	8K default	33.56 GB	No	55.0 est.
FP16	32K	42.44 GB	No	34.4 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).
