Can I Run Llama 3.2 Vision 11B on Intel Arc B570?
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated July 12, 2026
Yes. Llama 3.2 Vision 11B needs 8.5 GB at 8K context (6.4 GB weights + 2.1 GB KV cache/overhead) at Q4_K_M and the Intel Arc B570 has 10 GB, leaving about 1.5 GB of headroom, at roughly 29 tok/s (estimated) with room for up to 16K of context.

Llama 3.2 Vision 11B on the Intel Arc B570: VRAM by quantization

|---|---|---|---|---|
| F16 | 23.3 GB | ✗ No | — | — |
| Q8_0 | 13.4 GB | ✗ No | — | — |

| Q2_K | 5.6 GB | ✓ Yes | 32K | — |
Assumes an 8K-token context with an f16 KV cache. A longer window needs more; a quantized KV cache needs less. “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 10 GB. Figures are estimates from parameter count, quantization and memory bandwidth — the analyzer lets you tune KV-cache quant and context.
Context costs VRAM too. At Q4_K_M on the Intel Arc B570: 8K 8.5 GB · 32K 12.6 GB ✗ · 125K 28.2 GB ✗. Past 32K it no longer fits 10 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
What to do next
Nothing to change — run it at Q4_K_M. If you want more capability, check whether the next size up also fits.
