can it run

Can the RTX 3060 Laptop run gpt-oss 20B MoE?

NO

14.2 GB vs 6 GB usable — does not fit

6GB · Ampere GA106 · model file 14GB · 20B MoE

~88–140 tok/s (active-expert estimate)

computed roofline: 336 GB/s × 0.55–0.88 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
