Can NVIDIA Tesla P40 run Stable Video Diffusion?
1.5B parameter Video Gen model on 24GB GDDR5X
VRAM Requirements
Stable Video Diffusion is a 1.5B parameter model. At full precision (FP16), it requires 8GB of VRAM. Your NVIDIA Tesla P40 has 24GB — enough to run it without any quantization.
Maximum quality, no quantization
Near-lossless, ~50% size reduction
Good quality, ~75% size reduction
Recommended system RAM: 48GB DDR5 (2x GPU VRAM minimum for model overflow)
What This Means in Practice
NVIDIA Tesla P40 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.
