GPU vs Local LLM Compatibility: Which Models Can Your GPU Run?

Cross-reference 30 GPUs against 33 open local LLMs to see exactly which models fit in VRAM at Q4, Q8 and FP16.

Quick answer

This dataset cross-references 30 GPUs against 39 open local LLMs (1170 fit records), computing whether each model fits in VRAM at Q4, Q8 and FP16 — with headroom and a recommended quantization. Use it to answer "which local LLM can my GPU run?" before you buy hardware or pull a model.

Fit is weights-first: "tight" means the weights fit but leave little room for context/KV-cache — size up for long context. Free to download (CSV/JSON) and query via API under CC BY 4.0.

Method: A model "fits" when the GPU's VRAM is at least the model's weight footprint at that quantization. Quality grades headroom: tight (<1.15× weights — weights-only, little room for context), good (<1.6×), ample (≥1.6×). Real KV-cache and long context consume additional VRAM beyond the weights; treat tight fits as a floor. Source data: the AI-GPU database & local-LLM model database.
