Can NVIDIA RTX 5070 run DeepSeek V4.1 Flash?
No. Even at Q4_K_M, DeepSeek V4.1 Flash needs about 463.4 GB, but the NVIDIA RTX 5070 has 12 GB usable. You could offload some layers to system RAM, but it will be very slow.
How much VRAM does DeepSeek V4.1 Flash need?
About 463.4 GB at Q4_K_M with 8,192 tokens of context, and about 1526.8 GB at full FP16 precision.
How fast is DeepSeek V4.1 Flash on the NVIDIA RTX 5070?
It does not fit in the NVIDIA RTX 5070's memory, so most layers would run from system RAM and generation would be very slow.
