Verdict

Yes. Nemotron 3.5 Super 120B-A12B is a 90 GB download (Q4_K_M (default tag 80 GB)). The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (128 GB) gives the GPU 96 GB, leaving about 6 GB for context and runtime (our arithmetic).

Does it fit?

Left overAbout 6 GB (our arithmetic)
VerdictFits 4 GB or more to spare (our estimate bands)

Ollama lists the default tag at 80 GB; we use the larger 90 GB Q4_K_M figure for fit.

Recommended quantization and context

Use the Q4_K_M (default tag 80 GB) build that Ollama's tag downloads; the memory figure above is for that build. The model supports up to 1M of context, but longer context uses more memory. Ollama starts at a 4096-token context by default (Ollama FAQ).

With about 6 GB spare you have room to raise the context. Raise it in steps and re-check with ollama ps.

On this mini PC the GPU's share of memory depends on settings. On Windows, set Variable Graphics Memory in AMD Software (Performance, then Tuning); on Linux, see AMD's ROCm notes on BIOS VRAM and GTT. Details are in the install guide.

Run it

ollama run nemotron-3.5-super:120b

Then check it's on the GPU:

ollama ps

The PROCESSOR column should read 100% GPU. Driver setup for AMD cards on Windows, Linux and macOS, plus common fixes, is in the install and run section.

FAQ

Can the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (128 GB) run Nemotron 3.5 Super 120B-A12B?

Yes: Nemotron 3.5 Super 120B-A12B needs 90 GB (Q4_K_M (default tag 80 GB), Ollama library) and the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (128 GB) gives the GPU 96 GB, leaving about 6 GB. That leaves room to raise the context above the 4096-token default. The fit bands are our estimate.

How much VRAM does Nemotron 3.5 Super 120B-A12B need?

90 GB for the Q4_K_M (default tag 80 GB) build in the Ollama library, plus roughly 1–4 GB for context and runtime (our estimate). See the 96 GB page for other models that fit.

What command runs Nemotron 3.5 Super 120B-A12B?

ollama run nemotron-3.5-super:120b. Then run "ollama ps" and check the PROCESSOR column reads 100% GPU.

How fast is Nemotron 3.5 Super 120B-A12B on the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 (128 GB)?

We don't list a speed because we have no sourced measurement for this pairing. Speed depends on memory bandwidth, quantization and context length.
