02How much VRAM it needs (estimate)
Image models: memory depends on resolution, batch and which text encoders are kept on the GPU; Diffusers / ComfyUI can offload parts to CPU. The weight size below is the main transformer only.
| Precision | Weights | Weights + overhead | Smallest GPU | Mac |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BF16 / FP16 (original) | 64.5 GB | 71.4 GB | H100 80GB | Mac 128GB |
| FP8 / INT8 / Q8_0 | 34.2 GB | 38.2 GB | 2 × RTX 5090 (64GB) | Mac 64GB |
| 4-bit (Q4_K_M / AWQ / GPTQ-Int4) | 19.5 GB | 22.0 GB | RTX 5090 32GB | Mac 64GB |
Bits per weight: BF16 16, FP8 8.5, 4-bit 4.85. “Fits” = total ≤ 90% of memory; Mac GPU can use ~2/3 of unified memory (≤36GB) or ~3/4 (larger). For MoE, all experts must be in memory, so size by total parameters. Method →
