NVIDIA A100 40GB PCIe does not meet the minimum VRAM requirement for Q4 inference of mistralai/Mistral-Large-Instruct-2411. Review the quantization breakdown below to see how higher precision settings impact VRAM and throughput.
NVIDIA A100 40GB PCIe lacks sufficient VRAM for comfortable mistralai/Mistral-Large-Instruct-2411 operation with Q4 quantization.
Your 40GB GPU is 20GB short of the 60GB minimum.
Options: (1) Try Q2 or Q3 quantization for lower VRAM requirements, (2) Consider cloud GPU rental, (3) Upgrade to a GPU with at least 16GB VRAM.
| Quantization | VRAM needed | VRAM available | Estimated speed | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4 | 60GB | 40GB | 46.17 tok/s | ❌ Not recommended |
| Q8 | 120GB | 40GB | 29.07 tok/s | ❌ Not recommended |
| FP16 | 240GB | 40GB | 15.86 tok/s | ❌ Not recommended |
