How much GPU memory are you using? Demanding games already use most if not all available VRAM just for rendering so there isn't a great deal of room left for big AI models. Even if you target games with simple graphics, the size of the AI model would still dictate the min-spec for it to be playable.
- maiybe 2y agoUnder the hood, we're supporting multiple models that can be selected, but haven't optimized all the quantizations possible (the space is moving fast). The range is 1GB - 24GB, depending on model selection, but would be amazing to push lower than that. 24GB is high end as only the NVIDIA XX90s can support those.
- jsheard 2y ago1-2GB might be workable if the model still performs adequately at that level, but anything more than that sounds very hard to justify for as long as the median Steam user and console baseline (Xbox Series S) only have 8GB of VRAM to go around.
- maiybe 2y agoDepends on the fidelity of the graphics, but I agree with you that the smaller the VRAM usage, the broader base we can support on e.g. Steam. 1GB - 2GB would be the sweet spot for all game types, which 1B parameter quantized models can hit. There is some evidence that next gen consoles will feature AMD NPUs, and I suspect there will be more available RAM. There's definitely positive tailwinds that will change the hardware landscape over time.
