Frequently asked

Can RTX 4090 run DeepSeek-V3 671B?
Not at fp16 — DeepSeek-V3 671B needs about 1428.9 GB while RTX 4090 has 24 GB. It fits at INT4 quantization (359.2 GB) with some accuracy trade-off.
How much VRAM does DeepSeek-V3 671B use?
About 1428.9 GB at fp16, 359.2 GB at INT4 (for a 4K context, batch size 1). Longer contexts add to KV cache size; larger batches increase activations.
What's the fastest way to run DeepSeek-V3 671B on RTX 4090?
Use a production inference engine like vLLM, SGLang, or TensorRT-LLM with paged attention — they cut KV cache 2–3× vs the naive estimate and batch multiple requests efficiently. For RTX 4090, enable Flash Attention 2.
