GPU × LM Studio model fit

Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB run LM Studio models?

Compare Q4_K_M GGUF model files against this GPU's VRAM. This page checks GPU fit only; full LM Studio compatibility also requires a Windows x64 CPU with AVX2 support and appropriate system RAM.

Try an LM Studio GGUF model

This checks GPU VRAM fit only. Full LM Studio compatibility also depends on the Windows x64 AVX2 CPU prerequisite and system RAM.

GPU fit

Good GPU fit

GGUF file

5.03 GB

Planning VRAM

~6.5 GB

What this means

  • The GPU has enough VRAM for the GGUF file plus the conservative planning headroom used by AIPCFit.
  • Actual LM Studio memory usage still depends on context length and load configuration.
  • LM Studio's own estimator should be used for an exact load-time estimate.
