Can I Run Qwen3 32B on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super?
Sort of — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super can run Qwen3 32B (Q8_0) only by spilling layers to RAM. Generation will be slow.
Estimated ~5 tokens/sec on the Q8_0 quantization.
Hybrid CPU+GPU
Best variant: Q8_0
CPU + GPU hybrid — not enough VRAM (8 GB < 36.8 GB min), but 64 GB RAM is sufficient. Expect significantly slower inference.
