Can V100 16GB PCIe run Llama-3.1-8B-Instruct?

NVIDIA · 16 GB HBM2 · 900 GB/s bandwidth · Meta · 8.0B · model ctx up to 128K

Fit & speed by quant and context

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).
