For users looking to run the Kimi K2 model locally, the RTX 4090 with 24GB of VRAM is identified as the optimal consumer-grade GPU. This card can handle Kimi K2's active experts and a substantial KV cache, offering speeds of 25-35 tokens per second for agentic tasks. While older cards like the RTX 3090 offer good value for VRAM, higher-end options like the RTX 5090 are recommended for more demanding multi-agent orchestration scenarios that require larger KV cache capacities.
