Can MI300X 192GB run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B?
AMD · 192 GB HBM3 · 5300 GB/s bandwidth ·
DeepSeek · 70.6B · model ctx up to 128K
Yes — the MI300X 192GB (192 GB HBM3) can run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 53.95 GB VRAM (weights 38.83 GB + KV cache 14.12 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 192 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 47.8 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 156.32 GB) also fits, at ≈ 13.1 tok/s (estimated). Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

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).
