NVIDIA L40 does not meet the minimum VRAM requirement for Q4 inference of mistralai/Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1. Review the quantization breakdown below to see how higher precision settings impact VRAM and throughput.
NVIDIA L40 lacks sufficient VRAM for comfortable mistralai/Mixtral-8x22B-Instruct-v0.1 operation with Q4 quantization.
Your 48GB GPU is 21GB short of the 69GB 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 | 69GB | 48GB | 44.20 tok/s | ❌ Not recommended |
| Q8 | 138GB | 48GB | 31.06 tok/s | ❌ Not recommended |
| FP16 | 275GB | 48GB | 17.81 tok/s | ❌ Not recommended |
