Can I Run Qwen3 8B on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super?
Sort of — NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super can run Qwen3 8B (FP16) only by spilling layers to RAM. Generation will be slow.
Estimated ~5 tokens/sec on the FP16 quantization.
Hybrid CPU+GPU
Best variant: FP16
CPU + GPU hybrid — not enough VRAM (4 GB < 18.4 GB min), but 64 GB RAM is sufficient. Expect significantly slower inference.
