Baichuan 13B needs ~24.1 GB but RX 9060 XT 16GB only has 16.0 GB. Try a smaller quantization or lighter model.
Operating mode
Interactive favors responsiveness, while light API and scale-out lean harder on serving readiness. The fit stays the same, but the recommendation lens changes.
Current mode

Usable VRAM is the main blocker for this model.
Not enough usable memory
The model needs 24.1 GB, but this setup only exposes 16.0 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, Baichuan 13B requires more memory than RX 9060 XT 16GB provides.
Baichuan 13B (13B parameters) requires approximately 24.1 GB of memory with Q5_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Baichuan 13B is Q5_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On RX 9060 XT 16GB, Baichuan 13B achieves approximately 7.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 27749ms using Q5_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Baichuan 13B on RX 9060 XT 16GB receives a F grade with 7.0 tok/s and 5K context.
On RX 9060 XT 16GB, Baichuan 13B can safely use up to 5K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 8K, 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.
