Qwen2.5 Coder 32B Instruct at Q4_K_M needs about 22.4 GB, more than the 16 GB of the Arc A770 16 GB: part of the model runs from system RAM, which slows generation. At Q3_K_M it does not fit in VRAM.
Q4_K_M · 8K context
The model needs about 22.4 GB but only 15.5 GB of VRAM is usable: 6.9 GB must be loaded into system RAM. It runs, 69% on the GPU, but more slowly.
Estimated speed is at most 4.5 tokens/s: usable, but slow.
~22.4 GB (21.7 GB–23.2 GB) needed · estimate
6.9 GB must be offloaded to system RAM
