VRAM Calculator for Local LLMs

Use this calculator when the core question is memory fit: whether a model, quantization, and context window will fit into a specific GPU or unified-memory system.

VRAM Calculator

Estimate planning VRAM for 58 OpenRouter-backed local models. The list is sorted A-Z, searchable, and each context menu now scales from small presets up to the model maximum.

Uses a planning formula: total parameters x bytes per parameter, plus runtime and context overhead.

Target model
Start typing any part of the model name to narrow the A-Z list.
Estimated VRAM Select a model
Parameter size Choose a model first
Best fit Choose a model first

Start typing to search the catalog, then pick a model to unlock quantization, context, and hardware recommendations.

Recommended Hardware

Recommendations appear after you choose a model.

Inputs

What you enter

  • Target model
  • Quantization profile
  • Context window
  • Hardware sort mode
Outputs

What it returns

  • Estimated VRAM
  • Smallest matching hardware tier
  • Compatible hardware list
  • Quantization and context notes
Why This Page Exists

Unique value

This page is unique because it answers the memory-fit question directly and exposes the quantization and context assumptions behind the result.
