Can the GeForce RTX 5060 run GLM-4.7-Flash?

Does not fit at Q4_K_M.

GLM-4.7-Flash is 30B parameters (MoE; all experts resident). At Q4_K_M the weights are about 16.8 GiB; with the 1.5 GiB runtime reserve that is 18.3 GiB against the card's 8GB, about 10.3 GiB more than the card has.

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.
