Can the GTX 1050 Ti Mobile run gemma3 4B?

TIGHT

3.8 of 4 GB usable — keep context modest

4GB · Pascal (laptop) · model file 3.3GB · 4B

~9.5–17 tok/s

computed roofline: 112.1 GB/s × 0.28–0.50 efficiency window / 3.3GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points. Small models (under ~4.5B) run BELOW these bands — kernel-launch overhead keeps them from saturating bandwidth (measured against community medians, 09-06).
