What these numbers tell you.

Capacity is a planning estimate.

We add the exact Q4_K_M file size, an FP16 KV cache for the selected total context, and 2 GiB for the runtime. One request, all weights on one GPU. Nominal manufacturer GB labels use a conservative decimal-GB budget (1 GB = 10⁹ bytes); actual free VRAM and engine allocations can differ. A fit is a candidate to validate, not a tested deployment or a maximum model size.

Driver, operating system, quantization and engine support must also be checked. CPU offload, multi-GPU and training are outside this estimate.

Model files & calculation

KV bytes = 2 × layers × KV heads × head dimension × total context tokens × 2 bytes. GiB = 2³⁰ bytes. Context includes prompt and generated tokens. Architecture is pinned with the model metadata; allocation overhead remains an assumption.

Qwen3 8B · Q4_K_M — 4.68 GiB of files. Qwen/Qwen3-8B-GGUF; revision 7c41481f57cb. KV architecture ↗

Qwen3 14B · Q4_K_M — 8.38 GiB of files. Qwen/Qwen3-14B-GGUF; revision 530227a7d994. KV architecture ↗

Qwen3 32B · Q4_K_M — 18.40 GiB of files. Qwen/Qwen3-32B-GGUF; revision 938a7432affa. KV architecture ↗

Llama 3.3 70B · Q4_K_M — 39.60 GiB of files. bartowski/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-GGUF; revision b6c5c9f176f3. KV architecture ↗

Speed belongs to a test.

Each speed record names the model, engine and published conditions. These two tests use different models and settings, so they are not a GPU ranking. Missing results stay unknown. Manufacturer reports are external evidence; we have not run these benchmarks.

Prices keep their conditions.

Purchase references distinguish asking prices from official starting prices and show stock evidence. Rentals link to their dated configuration, cloud type and recorded availability. Taxes, shipping, storage and other fees may be extra. A workstation card does not inherit a similarly named server card’s rental quote.

Put the hardware in a workload budget.
