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.
Reading the numbers
With the recommended combo, the green (no disk spill) ceiling is 1920 × 1088 · 15s at ~57 min 51 s per clip. To unlock 2.0MP and full durations: step up to a 32GB card (e.g. 5090), or use a smaller quant (GGUF Q3/Q4).

FAQ
Can the RTX 5070 Ti 16GB run MiniMax H3?
Yes. Estimated with 32GB RAM + fast-disk: 1920×1088·15s at ~57 min 51 s per clip. Configs that exceed VRAM fall back to weight offloading (slower, but they still render).
How fast is H3 on the RTX 5070 Ti 16GB?
About 57 min 51 s per 1920×1088·15s 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 32GB 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 4-step v1.1 768p), enable SageAttention / Kitchen attention; for long clips try SLA / VSA sparse attention. All of it is switchable in step 2 of the calculator.
