Can I run Qwen2.5-VL 7B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB)?
Yes. Qwen2.5-VL 7B runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) at Q4_K_M (~7.1 GB of ~23 GB usable).
Runs at Q4_K_M using ~7.1 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 ~15.9 GB of headroom, room to step up to FP16 for higher quality.

- Pays for itself after
- ~4,703M tok
At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~117 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.16 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 4,703 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 Qwen2.5-VL 7B?
Yes. Qwen2.5-VL 7B runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) at Q4_K_M (~7.1 GB of ~23 GB usable).
How much memory does Qwen2.5-VL 7B need?
Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 (24GB) has room to spare. At Q4_K_M the weights are ~5.62 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~7.1 GB at a 4k context.
What is the best tool to run Qwen2.5-VL 7B 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.
