Can the GTX 965M run gemma3 1B?

~22–40 tok/s

computed roofline: 80.19 GB/s × 0.28–0.50 efficiency window / 1.0GB (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).

Run gemma3 1B on instead
