Can an RTX 5090 run Qwen3-Coder-30B-A3B-Instruct?
Yes: an RTX 5090 runs Qwen3-Coder 30B-A3B at 304.9 tok/s at Q4_K_M, measured on llama.cpp with a 110-token prompt in October 2026.
2 signed runs on llm-speed. Single-request decode speed in tokens per second; the short-chat workload unless noted. 1 of 2 runs were measured by llm-speed (@llmspeed); the other one is community-submitted (signed on the submitter's own machine, not measured by llm-speed, and not used for llm-speed verdicts). Runs measured by llm-speed are credited to @llmspeed. Verdicts and headline numbers use only llm-speed's own runs and fit tests.
Measured tok/s by quant and runtime
| Quant | Runtime | Build | Decode tok/s (best run) | Workload | Runs | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Fastest quant that fits: Q4_K_M on llama.cpp, 304.9 tok/s (measured by llm-speed; it fits because it ran on this hardware). Quants without a run are not listed.
VRAM: not recorded for these runs. The VRAM calculator gives an estimate (predicted, not measured).
