What Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB) can run

At 8 GB of VRAM, Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070 (8GB) runs 54 of 149 tracked local models, 36% coverage that earns a C. The largest it handles is Ornith 1.5 9B at 9B parameters; anything bigger needs more memory or a lower quantization.

Only the 8 GB of VRAM drives speed: a model that spills into system RAM slows sharply. Keep the weights plus KV cache under VRAM and prefer Q4_K_M to leave headroom.
