Can the RTX A6000 run Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct?
Yes. The Q4_K_M GGUF of Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct is 42.52 GB (source). With our 1.5 GB allowance for runtime and short-context cache it needs about 44 GB, leaving 4 GB of the card's 48 GB free. Expected speed: ~14 tok/s estimate. Lowest tracked price: low $6,170 (new) source, 2026-10-16, which works out to $441 per tok/s (#1 of 1 priced GPUs that fit this model).
Last updated Oct 16, 2026. Speed is a bandwidth-based estimate (768 GB/s, TechPowerUp), not a benchmark. Long contexts need more memory than our allowance.
Next size up: Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct (47.42 GB at Q4_K_M) needs ~48.9 GB and does not fit on one NVIDIA RTX A6000. See what runs Qwen2.5-72B-Instruct.
