On an RTX 4070 Ti (12 GB), Phi-4 reasoning 14B plus in Q4_K_M needs about 9,9 Go of video memory: it should fit. Estimated generation speed: ≈ 50,8 tokens/s.

Calculation: Phi-4 measured at 50,8 tok/s on this card, 8,4 Go read per token → × 8,4 Go ÷ 8,4 Go ≈ 50,8 tok/s (generation is memory-bound: speed follows the amount of weights read).

Estimated VRAM = file + KV cache (full-attention layers, f16) + ~0,5 Go of buffers, excluding memory used by the system — hence the slightly higher “recommended VRAM”, which keeps that margin. Speed ≈ estimated speed × weights read ÷ (weights read + added KV cache).
Estimates based on real measurements of other models on this card and on the model's public data (Microsoft Phi). As soon as a measurement exists, this page shows the real figures.
