All three quants
24GB card| Quant | Weights | With reserve | Verdict | Headroom |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_Mthe everyday quant | 18.3 GiB | 19.8 GiB | Fits comfortably | 4.2 GiB |
| Q8_0near-lossless | 32.4 GiB | 33.9 GiB | Only with CPU offload | short 9.9 GiB |
| FP16full weights | 61.1 GiB | 62.6 GiB | Does not fit | short 38.6 GiB |
Verdict rules: fits comfortably when weights plus reserve sit within 85% of VRAM; tight when they fit with little left for context; CPU offload when they exceed VRAM by up to 2x (runs, slowly, with layers in system RAM); no beyond that. The KV cache per token depends on the model's architecture and is not modelled here.
