VRAM required & cheapest live GPU fit

Required VRAM = weight size at each precision, plus a fixed overhead for KV-cache, activations, and fragmentation. Full formula and assumptions: methodology.

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 llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov at its published (BF16) precision: 1× RTX A5000 on runpod, at $0.160/hr per GPU ($0.160/hr total). Quantizing to FP8 or INT4 (rows above) can cost less, but requires a compatible quantized checkpoint to exist for this model.

llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov: common questions

Does llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov fit on a 24 GB GPU?

Yes. At BF16 it needs 17.9 GB of VRAM, so a 24 GB card holds it with 6.1 GB to spare. A 16 GB card is not enough for it at BF16.

What is the least VRAM llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov can run in?

4.5 GB, at INT4 (quantized), which fits a 6 GB card, against 17.9 GB at BF16. That row assumes an INT4 checkpoint has actually been published for this model, so check its Hugging Face page before planning around it.

Does quantizing llava-onevision-qwen2-7b-ov lower the GPU bill?

Yes. At BF16 the cheapest live fit is one RTX A5000 on runpod at $0.160/hr. At INT4 (quantized) it drops to one RTX 3060 on simplepod at $0.080/hr, provided a quantized checkpoint exists for it.
