Can the RTX 5000 Ada run it?
Can the RTX 5000 Ada run Qwen3 30B-A3B?
Yes. Qwen3 30B-A3B needs about 21 GB and the RTX 5000 Ada has 32 GB of VRAM. Expect about 100 tok/s, faster than you can read.
Can the RTX 5000 Ada run Qwen3 32B?
Yes. Qwen3 32B needs about 22 GB and the RTX 5000 Ada has 32 GB of VRAM. Expect about 16 tok/s, about reading speed.
Can the RTX 5000 Ada run Llama 3.3 70B?
No. Llama 3.3 70B needs about 45 GB and the RTX 5000 Ada has at most 32 GB of VRAM. Ollama can still start it by putting part of the model in system RAM, but it runs several times slower. The most capable model it runs well is Qwen3 30B-A3B, at about 100 tok/s.
Generating a token reads the model's active weights from memory once, so speed is roughly memory bandwidth (576 GB/s) divided by the active weight size, with efficiency calibrated on our own rack. Sizes are Ollama's default 4-bit downloads plus about 1.2 GB for context. Real results are usually within about a third. Measured one yourself? Send us the number.
The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 mini PC, 128 GB runs gpt-oss 120B at about 31 tok/s, from $3,400 used.
