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.

FAQ

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

Yes. Estimated with 32GB RAM + fast-disk: 1920×1088·10s at ~57 min 12 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 Super 32GB (modded)?

About 57 min 12 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.
