Can I Run Llama 3.2 90B Vision Instruct on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super?
Autor: Jakub Rusinowski · Ostatnia aktualizacja: 29 września 2026
No. Llama 3.2 90B Vision Instruct needs 57.8 GB at 8K context (53.6 GB weights + 4.2 GB KV cache/overhead) at Q4_K_M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super has only 12 GB. No quantization we publish closes a gap that size.

Llama 3.2 90B Vision Instruct on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super: VRAM by quantization

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 12 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 NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super: 8K 57.8 GB ✗ · 32K 67.8 GB ✗ · 125K 106.8 GB ✗. Past 8K it no longer fits 12 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
What to do next
Either step down to a smaller size in this family, or move to a NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell (72 GB) (72 GB), the card with the least memory we track that holds it.
