Yes. The NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti can run Phi-4 14B fully in VRAM at Q6_K (excellent), using about 14.3 GB of the 16 GB available, at roughly 45 tokens/second.
Run it with Ollama
With Ollama installed, one command downloads and starts Phi-4 14B:
ollama run phi4:14bOllama's default download is Q4_K_M (about 11.2 GB here). You have room for Q6_K, which is excellent: pick that GGUF in LM Studio or from Hugging Face.
