GPU memory and RAM
GPU memory usually limits model size; RAM supports apps, data, and model offload.

Exact PNY Small Box SKU VCNRTXPRO5000-72-SB with 72GB ECC in one GPU. Two independent Estonian retailer offers were verified; Small Box accessories, current stock, and price are rechecked before quote.
70B-class target requires validation
Selected 70B-class Q4 models need high VRAM or Apple unified memory, short-to-moderate context, and runtime validation.
70B-class fit is still context and runtime sensitive; validate the exact model, quantization, backend, and prompt length before relying on it.
AI terms in plain language
CUDA
NVIDIA’s software layer for many AI tools. Macs and AMD GPUs do not run CUDA workflows the same way.
Apple unified memory
Memory shared by the CPU, GPU, macOS, and apps; it is not the same as NVIDIA VRAM.
7B / 8B / 14B / 70B
Approximate model size in billions of parameters; larger models usually need more memory.
Quantized models
Lower-precision models, such as Q4, that use less memory with possible quality or speed tradeoffs.
Context length
How much text the model can keep in mind at once. Longer context uses more memory.
Inference
Running an existing model for chat, coding help, summaries, or document workflows.
Fine-tuning vs adapter tuning
LoRA and QLoRA train small adapters and need fewer resources than full fine-tuning.
Throughput (tokens/s)
Model output speed. Compare the same model, quantization, context, runtime, and user count; prompt processing is a separate measurement.

Assumptions
- GPU VRAM assumption: 72GB from PNY NVIDIA RTX PRO 5000 72GB Blackwell Small Box.
- Assumed RAM: 128GB.
- Ratings include model weights, estimated KV cache, runtime overhead, and safety margin for one local model running at a time. Treat them as fit guidance, not a speed guarantee.
- GPU product pages assume a sensible amount of system RAM for this VRAM class. Complete build pages show page-specific RAM fit.
Llama 3.3 70B Instruct technical details
Family: Meta Llama 3.3
Parameters: 70.60B
Structure: 70.6B dense
License: Llama 3.3 Community License; allowed with terms; gated access. For guidance only; review the model licence before commercial use.
Native context: 131,072 tokens
Quantization: Q4_K_M
Approx. Q4 weights: 42.5 GB
Default estimate: 51 GB @ 4,096 tokens
Weights / KV / runtime / margin: 42.5 GB / 3 GB / 1.5 GB / 4 GB
CPU/RAM fallback: Not recommended
VRAM: 48 GB minimum / 64 GB recommended
RAM: 64 GB minimum / 96 GB recommended
Current run mode: Comfortable GPU fit
Expected experience: Usable
Full GPU offload: Often limited
Context warning: The Q4 weights alone use about 42.5GB before KV cache, runtime overhead, and desktop headroom.
| Context | Weights | KV | Runtime | Margin | Estimated GPU memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4K | 42.5 GB | 3 GB | 1.5 GB | 4 GB | 51 GB |

Research sources
Researched: 2026-07-30
Local AI performance is approximate. Results depend on quantization, context length, backend, drivers, and whether the model plus KV cache fits in VRAM or Apple unified memory.
Important before ordering
Exact item and price
I confirm the exact component, model, your main requirements, and current Estonian pricing and availability before fulfillment.
Compatibility scope
I check known size, power, and interface constraints based on the details you provide. Final compatibility depends on the rest of your system and the complete parts list.
Payment and quote
The quote request does not collect payment or card details. I send the exact price and any alternatives in a written quote.
Pricing basis
The page distinguishes market data, estimates, and written quotes. A component price does not include whole-system service.
Handover in Estonia
Pickup or local delivery method and timing are confirmed in the order email thread after availability is confirmed.
Returns, warranty, and support
Returns and warranty depend on order state and the component, manufacturer, and retailer terms. Support and questions continue through the order or quote email thread. Replying to the confirmation is the fastest path.
