Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB run Stable Video Diffusion?
1.5B parameter Video Gen model on 12GB GDDR6
VRAM Requirements
Stable Video Diffusion is a 1.5B parameter model. At full precision (FP16), it requires 8GB of VRAM. Your NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB has 12GB — enough to run it without any quantization.
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
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 12GB can run Stable Video Diffusion at full precision for video generation. You can generate short video clips from text prompts or images at maximum quality. Video generation is very compute-intensive — expect each clip to take 30 seconds to several minutes depending on resolution and length.
