Estimated VRAM requirement
Weight memory uses parameter count × bits per weight, plus a quantization overhead factor. KV cache uses standard GQA formulas. Values are calculated estimates, not measured allocations.

No fresh matched Amazon price is currently available for a full-VRAM fit. See compatible GPUs · Workstations · Rent a server · Buy vs rent.
Lowest-cost full-VRAM option
Sorted by lowest current Amazon price among GPUs that fit entirely in VRAM. This is not a performance ranking.
No compatible GPU currently has a fresh Amazon price.
More VRAM headroom
Sorted by leftover usable VRAM after the calculated requirement. Headroom is not tokens/sec.
