Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB run Mochi 1?
10B parameter Video Gen model on 12GB GDDR6
VRAM Requirements
Mochi 1 is a 10B parameter model. At full precision (FP16), it requires 30GB of VRAM. Your NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB has 12GB, so you'll need to quantize it to 4-bit (Q4) to fit.
Maximum quality, no quantization
Near-lossless, ~50% size reduction
Good quality, ~75% size reduction
Recommended system RAM: 32GB DDR5 (2x GPU VRAM minimum for model overflow)
What This Means in Practice
At 4-bit precision, Mochi 1 fits in NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB's VRAM but video quality may show artifacts, especially in motion consistency and fine details. Generation times will be longer. Usable for experimentation, but a GPU with more VRAM will produce noticeably better results.
