Running Meta's Llama 3 models requires specific GPU hardware, with the 8B version being accessible on consumer-grade cards like the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB for Q8 quantization. The larger 70B model, however, demands significantly more VRAM, necessitating dual RTX 4090s or a high-end RTX 5090 for acceptable quality. For users employing Ollama, specific commands can be used to pull desired quantizations or configure dual-GPU setups for the 70B model. The largest 405B variant is exclusively for cloud or multi-node enterprise deployments due to its extreme VRAM requirements. AI
