Can B200 192GB SXM run gemma-3-12b-it?

NVIDIA · 192 GB HBM3e · 8000 GB/s bandwidth · Google · 12.2B · model ctx up to 128K

Yes — the B200 192GB SXM (192 GB HBM3e) can run gemma-3-12b-it. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 10.11 GB VRAM (weights 6.71 GB + KV cache 2.4 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 192 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 424.2 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 27.8 GB) also fits, at ≈ 116.7 tok/s (estimated). Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	8.91 GB	Yes	424.2 est.
Q4	8K default	10.11 GB	Yes	424.2 est.
Q4	32K	17.31 GB	Yes	424.2 est.
FP16	4K	26.6 GB	Yes	116.7 est.
FP16	8K default	27.8 GB	Yes	116.7 est.
FP16	32K	35.0 GB	Yes	116.7 est.

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
