What GPU do I need to run John6666/amanatsu-illustrious-v11-sdxl?
2.6B parameters, published in F16. View on Hugging Face
Set up amanatsu-il…strious-v11-sdxlamanatsu-illustrious-v11-sdxl is published by John6666 on Hugging Face, with 119,399 downloads and 3 likes to date. It's a unlisted-architecture model built for text-to-image, published natively in F16.
VRAM required & cheapest live GPU fit
Required VRAM = weight size at each precision, plus a fixed overhead for activation memory and allocator fragmentation. Diffusion and video models carry no KV-cache. The real driver of extra memory is output resolution and frame count, which this flat overhead does not model. Full formula and assumptions: methodology.
| Precision | Weight size | Required VRAM | Cheapest live fit | GPUs needed | Est. $/hr (full fit) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | 4.8 GB | 5.7 GB | V100 | 1 | $0.088/hr |
| FP8 (quantized) | 2.4 GB | 2.9 GB | RTX 5060 Ti | 1 | $0.110/hr |
| INT4 (quantized) | 1.2 GB | 1.4 GB | RTX 5060 Ti | 1 | $0.110/hr |
A GPU is only matched to a row if its hardware supports that precision, and the primary recommendation is always a single-GPU fit when one exists.
INT4 requires a quantized checkpoint actually published for this model, check its Hugging Face page before relying on this row.
Cheapest way to run amanatsu-illustrious-v11-sdxl at its published (F16) precision: 1× V100, at $0.088/hr per GPU ($0.088/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.
amanatsu-illustrious-v11-sdxl: common questions
How much VRAM does amanatsu-illustrious-v11-sdxl need?
5.7 GB at FP16, 2.9 GB at FP8 (quantized), 1.4 GB at INT4 (quantized). All of those sit under 6 GB, the smallest capacity this page reasons about, so VRAM is not what limits where this model runs. The 4.8 GB of weights plus inference overhead is the whole requirement.
How many copies of amanatsu-illustrious-v11-sdxl fit on one V100?
2, by VRAM alone. That card carries 16.0 GB and one copy needs 5.7 GB at FP16, on a live rate of $0.088/hr for the whole card. Throughput is not modelled here, so 2 copies is not 2 times the requests served.
