VRAM Fit Checker: Will It Run Your Model?
Pick an open model and a precision. The checker estimates the memory the weights need and lists every GPU, mini PC, workstation and server in our directory that can hold it.
How the estimate works: parameters x bytes per parameter x 1.2, where the extra 20 percent covers the KV cache and runtime overhead for a typical chat workload. Long contexts need more. Two free checks a day; after that, an email unlocks the checker for the rest of the day.
Your results land here: the memory needed, and the hardware in the directory that fits it, tightest fit first.
