Can H200 141GB SXM5 run gemma-3-12b-it?

NVIDIA · 141 GB HBM3e · 4800 GB/s bandwidth · Google · 12.2B · model ctx up to 128K

Yes — the H200 141GB SXM5 (141 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 141 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 254.5 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 27.8 GB) also fits, at ≈ 70.0 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	254.5 est.
Q4	8K default	10.11 GB	Yes	254.5 est.
Q4	32K	17.31 GB	Yes	254.5 est.
FP16	4K	26.6 GB	Yes	70.0 est.
FP16	8K default	27.8 GB	Yes	70.0 est.
FP16	32K	35.0 GB	Yes	70.0 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).
