Can RTX 6000 Ada 48GB run Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507?

NVIDIA · 48 GB GDDR6 · 960 GB/s bandwidth · Alibaba · 30.5B (active 3B) · MoE · model ctx up to 256K

Yes — the RTX 6000 Ada 48GB (48 GB GDDR6) can run Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 18.38 GB VRAM (weights 16.78 GB + KV cache 0.6 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 48 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 203.6 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 62.6 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	18.08 GB	Yes	203.6 est.
Q4	8K default	18.38 GB	Yes	203.6 est.
Q4	32K	20.18 GB	Yes	203.6 est.
FP16	4K	62.3 GB	No	95.0 est.
FP16	8K default	62.6 GB	No	94.1 est.
FP16	32K	64.4 GB	No	88.9 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).
