Times are per whole clip (model load and text encoding included); the first run is slower due to kernel compilation. ⚠ = weight offloading / noticeably slower; ✕ = not recommended.

Recommended combo (Flagship tier (32GB+ VRAM))

1344x768 full length 5-15s; 4-8 steps; ~80s end-to-end for a 3s clip (measured on our 5090)

FAQ

Can the RTX 4080 32GB (modded) run MiniMax H3?

Yes. Estimated with 32GB RAM + fast-disk: 1920×1088·10s at ~57 min 20 s per clip. Configs that exceed VRAM fall back to weight offloading (slower, but they still render).

How fast is H3 on the RTX 4080 32GB (modded)?

About 57 min 20 s per 1920×1088·10s clip (including model load and encoding). Longer or denser clips scale quadratically in the attention term.

How much RAM do I need?

At least 64GB of system RAM recommended (minimum 48GB plus a 16GB pagefile). With 32GB, always enable --fast-disk or weights spill into the pagefile.

How can I make it faster?

Stack step distillation (e.g. LightX2V Turbo 8-step v1.0), enable SageAttention / Kitchen attention; for long clips try SLA / VSA sparse attention. All of it is switchable in step 2 of the calculator.
