❌ No — not enough VRAM without CPU offloading
DeepSeek Coder V2 33B needs 19.5 GB VRAM at Q4. The RTX 4060 Ti 16GB has 16 GB.

DeepSeek Coder V2 33B (DeepSeek) is a 33B parameter model used for Code generation and analysis. Top-tier code model, competitive with GPT-4 for programming.

Q8_0 (high quality)34 GB

Why It Won’t Fit

DeepSeek Coder V2 33B needs 19.5 GB VRAM at Q4 quantization, but the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB only has 16 GB. You’re 3.5 GB short.

Options: You can run it with CPU offloading (expect ~16 tok/s — very slow), or upgrade to a GPU with 19.5+ GB VRAM.
