Can NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB run Mochi 1?

10B parameter Video Gen model on 8GB GDDR6

Barely — requires CPU/RAM offloading
~1-3 tok/s (offload)
SpeedVery slow — expect 1-3 tokens/sec
QualityQuality is fine but the speed makes it impractical for interactive use

VRAM Requirements

Mochi 1 is a 10B parameter model. At full precision (FP16), it requires 30GB of VRAM. Your NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB only has 8GB — not enough even at maximum compression.

FP16 (Full Precision)30GB (need 22GB more)

Maximum quality, no quantization

Q8 (8-bit)16GB (need 8GB more)

Near-lossless, ~50% size reduction

Q4 (4-bit)10GB (need 2GB more)

Good quality, ~75% size reduction

Your GPU VRAM: 8GB GDDR6 at 288 GB/s bandwidth
Recommended system RAM: 32GB DDR5 (2x GPU VRAM minimum for model overflow)
