Can I Run Phi-3 Medium 14B on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop?
Sort of — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Laptop can run Phi-3 Medium 14B (Q8_0) only by spilling layers to RAM. Generation will be slow.
Estimated ~6 tokens/sec on the Q8_0 quantization.
Hybrid CPU+GPU
Best variant: Q8_0
CPU + GPU hybrid — not enough VRAM (8 GB < 16 GB min), but 64 GB RAM is sufficient. Expect significantly slower inference.
