Llama 3.3 70B Instruct on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090: VRAM by quantization

Assumes a 4K-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 24 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 Q2_K_XS (Tight) on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090: 8K 23.7 GB · 32K 31.7 GB ✗ · 128K 64 GB ✗. Past 32K it no longer fits 24 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.

No compatible GPU? Llama 3.3 70B Instruct on 256 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs, but too slowly to be worth it.
