can it run

Can the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB run gpt-oss 20B MoE?

NO

14.2 GB vs 6 GB usable — does not fit

6GB · Pascal · model file 14GB · 20B MoE

~26–46 tok/s (active-expert estimate)

computed roofline: 192.2 GB/s × 0.28–0.50 efficiency window / 2.1GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.

MoE: file is 14GB (that decides fit) but only ~3B of experts activate per token (~2.1GB streamed) — band below is the active-expert estimate, optimistic; community MoE rows run several× the naive bandwidth math
