Can the GeForce RTX 5060 run Codestral 22B v0.1?
Only with CPU offload at Q4_K_M.
Codestral 22B v0.1 is 22.2B parameters. At Q4_K_M the weights are about 12.4 GiB; with the 1.5 GiB runtime reserve that is 13.9 GiB against the card's 8GB, about 5.9 GiB more than the card has.
All three quants
8GB card| Quant | Weights | With reserve | Verdict | Headroom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_Mthe everyday quant | 12.4 GiB | 13.9 GiB | Only with CPU offload | short 5.9 GiB |
| Q8_0near-lossless | 21.9 GiB | 23.4 GiB | Does not fit | short 15.4 GiB |
| FP16full weights | 41.4 GiB | 42.9 GiB | Does not fit | short 34.9 GiB |
Verdict rules: fits comfortably when weights plus reserve sit within 85% of VRAM; tight when they fit with little left for context; CPU offload when they exceed VRAM by up to 2x (runs, slowly, with layers in system RAM); no beyond that. The KV cache per token depends on the model's architecture and is not modelled here.
Not this card. These fit it comfortably at Q4.
