CONSIDER
  • Current model — 20 months on the market
Great choice if these matter:
  • Gaming
  • Content Creation
Watch out for:
  • 3.5 slots is among the widest here and blocks neighbouring slots.
  • Single 16-pin connector needs an ATX 3.1 supply for a native cable.

Main risks
  • 3.5 slots is among the widest here and blocks neighbouring slots.
  • Single 16-pin connector needs an ATX 3.1 supply for a native cable.
  • Fan count is not stated on the spec page.
The risk level is computed from the release date and verified weaknesses. The confidence score appears only once enough owner reports exist.
This box relies only on verified specs, the release date and editorial assessment; owner reports join them as they come in. We do not predict prices.

The Kacbu editors' assessment of the specifications the maker publishes. We do not test devices ourselves, so nothing here is a measured result. Anything taken from an independent review is shown with its publication and date in the Press section.

Strengths based on the specs
2730 MHz boost, 113 MHz above the chip's reference clock.
Palit publishes length, width, height and slot width, which most partners do not.
Three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs plus HDMI 2.1b.
Things to consider
3.5 slots is among the widest here and blocks neighbouring slots.
Single 16-pin connector needs an ATX 3.1 supply for a native cable.

Which models run on this card?

Whether a model runs on your machine is decided first by the graphics card's memory: the model file has to fit in VRAM with room left for the context window and the runtime. The states below are computed from memory alone; software support (CUDA, ROCm, Vulkan) is a separate matter.

Largest model that runs comfortably: Qwen3.5 9B

  • Qwen3.5 0.8B1 GB packageComfortable
  • Qwen3.5 2B2.7 GB packageComfortable
  • Qwen3.5 4B3.4 GB packageComfortable
  • Qwen3.5 9B6.6 GB packageComfortable
  • gpt-oss-20b14 GB package · the maker states a 16 GB memory minimumRuns
  • Qwen3.5 27B17 GB packageLimited
  • Qwen3.5 35B24 GB packageLimited
  • gpt-oss-120b65 GB package · the maker states a 80 GB memory minimumNot suitable
  • Qwen3.5 122B81 GB packageNot suitable
  • ComfortableRoom for the model file and a long context
  • RunsFits; the context window may need to stay short
  • LimitedNot enough memory; part of the model spills to system RAM and runs slowly
  • Not suitableNot a GPU-run model on this card

Rule: 1.5× the requirement in memory is Comfortable, 1.15× Runs, 0.6× Limited; the requirement is the default package size, or the maker's stated minimum where there is one (a stated minimum counts as fitting at exactly that figure). Package sizes are the Ollama library's, minimums the maker's own statement; read on 2026-09-11. Sources: ollama.com/library/qwen3.5, ollama.com/library/gpt-oss, openai.com/index/introducing-gpt-oss
