Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB run GLiDE 2B?

17Basic quality (D) · 17 of 100: how capable the model is at F16, whatever it runs on. Match score 55/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, it runs great

Runs great. At F16 it needs about 5.3 GB of 16.0 GB usable, with an estimated speed of 44.1 tok/s.

Best app to run it on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

On Windows

Docker Model Runner

Command line + local API · runs on llama.cpp, vLLM

  • Handy if you already work in Docker.
docker model run hf.co/fastino/GLiDE-2B

On Linux

Docker Model Runner

Command line + local API · runs on llama.cpp, vLLM

  • Handy if you already work in Docker.
docker model run hf.co/fastino/GLiDE-2B
  • vLLM For one person, llama.cpp-based apps are about as fast and use smaller GGUF files.
  • SGLang For one person, llama.cpp-based apps are about as fast and use smaller GGUF files.

How we choose: the files published for this model, your operating system and GPU, whether it fits fully in memory, and published speed tests (MLX vs llama.cpp on Apple silicon, vLLM vs llama.cpp vs Ollama on NVIDIA). Details.

How it’s rated

Quality 17Basic quality (D) · 17 of 100: how capable the model is at F16, whatever it runs on. Match score 55/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at F16, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Runs great
How well it runs on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB: speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Memory figures assume 8K of context. Longer conversations or documents grow the KV cache.

Other hardware that runs it

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
