Can I run Llama 3.2 Vision 11B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 (12GB)?
Yes. Llama 3.2 Vision 11B runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 (12GB) at Q4_K_M (~9 GB of ~11 GB usable).
Runs at Q4_K_M using ~9 GB of ~11 GB usable.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes. Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 (12GB) leaves ~2 GB of headroom.

Running cost · estimate

- Pays for itself after
- ~1,932M tok
At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~45 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.19 in electricity. Versus a hosted API at ~$0.5 per million tokens, the ~$599 Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 (12GB) pays for itself after roughly 1,932 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 4070 (12GB) run Llama 3.2 Vision 11B?
Yes. Llama 3.2 Vision 11B runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 (12GB) at Q4_K_M (~9 GB of ~11 GB usable).
How much memory does Llama 3.2 Vision 11B need?
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 (12GB) has room to spare. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~7.36 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~9 GB at a 4k context.
What is the best tool to run Llama 3.2 Vision 11B 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.

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.
