Short answer
No. It doesn't fit in memory.
Needs ≈428 GB but only ≈211 GB of VRAM + system RAM is available after the OS and other apps.
Why it doesn’t fit
Even its smallest practical version (Q4_K_M) needs about 428 GB for the model, its context memory and the runtime. After Windows (≈8.0 GB), a browser with a few tabs (≈3.0 GB) and Open WebUI (≈1.0 GB), Desktop PC · RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell · 128 GB RAM has about 211 GB left, so it’s 217 GB short.
Ways to make it work
Close everything else
Not enough on its own: with every other app closed it’s still about 214 GB short.
