Estimates: model weights plus 20% for KV cache and runtime overhead, at short context lengths. Long contexts and large batches need more. Rows marked “tight” hold the weights but not that full margin. A ×N figure is the total VRAM across N of these GPUs and makes no claim about interconnect throughput.
