Can an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 run Qwen3.6-35B-A3B?
Yes, with CPU offload. Qwen3.6-35B-A3B needs 22.8GB at MXFP4_MOE with llama.cpp and 8K context; the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 has 8GB of VRAM (7.50GB usable), so part of the model spills to system RAM — it loads, but expect the interactive speed tier.
