Can I Run Llama 3.2 11B Vision Instruct on NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super?
作者： Jakub Rusinowski · 最后更新： 2026年9月19日
Yes. Llama 3.2 11B Vision Instruct needs 6.4 GB at Q4_K_M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super has 12 GB, leaving about 5.6 GB of headroom, at roughly 58 tok/s (estimated) with room for up to 16K of context.

Llama 3.2 11B Vision Instruct on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super: 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 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 8.5 GB · 32K 12.6 GB ✗ · 125K 28.2 GB ✗. Past 32K 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
Nothing to change — run it at Q4_K_M. If you want more capability, check whether the next size up also fits.
