GPU Fit Matrix
Can the Mac Studio M4 Max (128GB) run Nemotron 3 Super (free)?
Yes — fits at FP8
Planning estimate: Nemotron 3 Super (free) (120B total / 12B active) needs about62.5 GB of VRAM at FP4(≈4K context). The Mac Studio M4 Max (128GB) has128 GB.
This is a computed planning estimate (parameter count × bytes/parameter × quantization + context overhead), not a measured benchmark. See how we estimate.
VRAM needed by quantization
| Quantization | Est. VRAM needed | Fits 128GB? |
|---|---|---|
| BF16 | 242.5 GB | ❌ No |
| FP8 | 122.5 GB | ✅ Yes |
| FP4 | 62.5 GB | ✅ Yes |
No measured benchmark yet. We don't publish invented tokens/sec — when we have a first-party measured run for this pairing, it will appear here. For now this page is a VRAM planning estimate. Model the exact case in ourVRAM calculator.
