DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 14B at Q4_K_M needs about 11.2 GB, more than the 8 GB of the RTX 4060 Ti 8 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 11.2 GB but only 7.7 GB of VRAM is usable: 3.6 GB must be loaded into system RAM. It runs, 68% on the GPU, but more slowly.
