Can I run LFM2 350M on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB)?

Compatibility verdict VRAM threshold engine
Yes, it runs GPU accelerated ~1456 tok/s est.

Yes. LFM2 350M runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) at Q4_K_M (~1.4 GB of ~23 GB usable).

Needs ~1.4 GB Device usable ~23 GB

Runs at Q4_K_M using ~1.4 GB of ~23 GB usable. You have room for FP16 for higher quality.

That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes. Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) leaves ~21.6 GB of headroom, room to step up to FP16 for higher quality.

Running cost · estimate

Power & economics est.
Power draw

Electricity / 1M tokens

Pays for itself after
~3,263M tok

At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~1456 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.01 in electricity. Versus a hosted API at ~$0.5 per million tokens, the ~$1,599 Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) pays for itself after roughly 3,263 million tokens, so local hardware is mostly a fixed cost, not a per-token one. TDP is the peak draw, so this is an upper bound. Assumptions.

FAQ

Can Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) run LFM2 350M?

Yes. LFM2 350M runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) at Q4_K_M (~1.4 GB of ~23 GB usable).

How much memory does LFM2 350M need?

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) has room to spare. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~0.45 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~1.4 GB at a 4k context.

What is the best tool to run LFM2 350M on Windows?

LM Studio for a simple setup; Ollama (CUDA) for the most speed. AMD GPUs run via Vulkan/ROCm at roughly half CUDA throughput. NVIDIA is the smooth path on Windows.

Sources

Weights are measured from GGUF files; KV cache and overhead are computed, so totals can vary ~15% with context and runtime. Any tok/s is a bandwidth estimate. See methodology.
