Which local LLMs fit in 12 GB?

12 GB holds models up to about 14B at Q4 with a usable context window; above that band the weights spill to system RAM and PCIe bandwidth sets the speed, not the GPU.

✅ 7–9B models (Llama 3.1 8B, Qwen 3 8B) — fits at Q4
✅ 12–14B models (Qwen 3 14B, Phi-4) — fits at Q4
❌ 20–27B models (Gemma 3 27B, Mistral Small) — needs 20 GB+
❌ 30–35B models (Qwen 3 32B, QwQ 32B) — needs 24 GB+
❌ 70B models (Llama 3.3 70B, Qwen 2.5 72B) — needs 48 GB+

Across 37 community runs from 19 sources, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 generates a median 59.5 tok/s on 7–9B models at Q4 (per TYO Lab blog).
