Compatibility Check
Can I Run Hermes 3 Llama 3.1 70B on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti?
Sort of — NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti can run Hermes 3 Llama 3.1 70B (Q4_K_M) only by spilling layers to RAM. Generation will be slow.
Estimated ~3 tokens/sec on the Q4_K_M quantization.
Hybrid CPU+GPU
Best variant: Q4_K_M
CPU + GPU hybrid — not enough VRAM (8 GB < 42 GB min), but 64 GB RAM is sufficient. Expect significantly slower inference.
