| Model | Quant | Speed | Rating | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Llama 3.1 8B Instruct | Q8_0 | 75 tok/s | Excellent | Higher bandwidth (672 GB/s) makes a noticeable difference vs 4060 Ti. |
| Qwen 2.5 Coder 32B Instruct | Q3_K_M | 16 tok/s | Acceptable | Same VRAM constraint as 4060 Ti but 2.3x bandwidth yields better speed. Still Q3 quality compromise. |
| DeepSeek R1 Distill Qwen 32B | Q3_K_M | 15 tok/s | Acceptable | Q3 required to fit in 16GB. Usable for reasoning with quality compromise. |
| Phi-4 14B | Q5_K_M | 42 tok/s | Good | Q5 fits with headroom. Strong reasoning performance. |
| Mistral Small 24B Instruct | Q3_K_M | 18 tok/s | Acceptable | Q3 required for 16GB. Usable with quality compromise. |
| Llama 3.2 3B Instruct | Q8_0 | 130 tok/s | Excellent | 672 GB/s bandwidth makes 3B model feel instant. Near-instant responses. |
| Llama 3.2 1B Instruct | Q8_0 | 190 tok/s | Excellent | 1B model flies on 672 GB/s. Near-instant responses. |
| Phi-4 Mini | Q8_0 | 120 tok/s | Excellent | 672 GB/s delivers excellent 3.8B speed. Near-instant reasoning. |
| Whisper Large V3 Turbo | FP16 | — | Excellent | 672 GB/s delivers fast transcription. Processing latency ~120ms. |
| Stable Diffusion 3.5 Large | FP16 | — | Excellent | 672 GB/s. FP16 at 12.5GB. ~6s per image. Excellent image gen speed. |
| Gemma 3 27B | Q3_K_M | 12 tok/s | Acceptable | Q3_K_M fits with 2.7GB headroom. Better bandwidth (672 GB/s) than 4060 Ti yields usable speed. |
| DeepSeek V3 | Q2_K | — | Not Viable | 671B MoE model requires 115GB+ at Q2_K. 16GB insufficient. Would need 128GB+ unified memory. |
