can it run

Can the NVIDIA Titan X (Pascal) 12GB run gpt-oss 20B MoE?

OFFLOAD PARTIAL

14.2 GB vs 12 GB usable — partial CPU offload, expect large speed loss

12GB · Pascal · model file 14GB · 20B MoE

~64–110 tok/s (active-expert estimate)

computed roofline: 480.4 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

Run gpt-oss 20B MoE on instead

Tesla M40 (24GB, used) — cheapest catalog machine that runs gpt-oss 20B MoE fully ($50)

RTX 3090 (24GB, used) — upgrade path machine
