Can H100 80GB SXM5 run Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3?

NVIDIA · 80 GB HBM3 · 3350 GB/s bandwidth · Mistral · 7.2B · model ctx up to 32K

Yes — the H100 80GB SXM5 (80 GB HBM3) can run Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.3. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 6.4 GB VRAM (weights 3.96 GB + KV cache 1.44 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 80 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 296.1 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 16.84 GB) also fits, at ≈ 81.4 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	5.68 GB	Yes	296.1 est.
Q4	8K default	6.4 GB	Yes	296.1 est.
Q4	32K	10.72 GB	Yes	296.1 est.
FP16	4K	16.12 GB	Yes	81.4 est.
FP16	8K default	16.84 GB	Yes	81.4 est.
FP16	32K	21.16 GB	Yes	81.4 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).
