Usable VRAM is the main blocker for this model.
Not enough usable memory
The model needs 13.7 GB, but this setup only exposes 8.0 GB of usable VRAM.
Add more VRAM headroom
The first useful upgrade is more dedicated VRAM so you can fit the model without shrinking context or dropping to a much lower quant.

No, Phi-4-reasoning-plus 14B requires more memory than RX 9060 8GB provides.
Phi-4-reasoning-plus 14B (14.699999809265137B parameters) requires approximately 13.7 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Phi-4-reasoning-plus 14B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On RX 9060 8GB, Phi-4-reasoning-plus 14B achieves approximately 5.2 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 36931ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Phi-4-reasoning-plus 14B on RX 9060 8GB receives a F grade with 5.2 tok/s and 4K context.
On RX 9060 8GB, Phi-4-reasoning-plus 14B can safely use up to 4K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 33K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Add more VRAM headroom. The first useful upgrade is more dedicated VRAM so you can fit the model without shrinking context or dropping to a much lower quant.
