This setup is broadly balanced for this model.
Very little memory headroom
You can run the model, but there is not much room left for longer context, bigger batches, extra apps, or future model updates.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit
A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.

Yes, RTX 5000 Ada 32GB can run Hermes 4.3 36B with a C grade (Runs with offload). Expected decode speed: 21.0 tok/s.
Hermes 4.3 36B (36B parameters) requires approximately 30.6 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Hermes 4.3 36B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On RTX 5000 Ada 32GB, Hermes 4.3 36B achieves approximately 21.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 9226ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Hermes 4.3 36B on RTX 5000 Ada 32GB receives a C grade with 21.0 tok/s and 21K context.
On RTX 5000 Ada 32GB, Hermes 4.3 36B can safely use up to 21K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit. A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.
