Can you run it?
Estimated VRAM at 8K context unless noted. Pick your hardware to see the verdict per quantization.
| File | Quant | Size | Est. VRAM | Verdict on RTX 4090 · 24 GB |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen3-30B-A3B-Q4_K_M.gguf | Q4_K_M | 18.6 GB | 20.9 GB | ⚠️ Tight — reduce context |
| Qwen3-30B-A3B-Q5_0.gguf | Q5_0 | 21.1 GB | 23.7 GB | ⚠️ Tight — reduce context |
| Qwen3-30B-A3B-Q5_K_M.gguf | Q5_K_M | 21.7 GB | 24.4 GB | ❌ Won’t fit |
| Qwen3-30B-A3B-Q6_K.gguf | Q6_K | 25.1 GB | 28.1 GB | ❌ Won’t fit |
| Qwen3-30B-A3B-Q8_0.gguf | Q8_0 | 32.5 GB | 36.2 GB | ❌ Won’t fit |
Estimate: file size × 1.1 + KV cache at 8K + 0.5 GB overhead. Not a benchmark — how we calculate this.
