Best GPU for Local AI
Compare GPU considerations for local AI, including VRAM, quantized models, batch size, and when CPU-only testing is enough.
Top picks
- 12GB VRAM for small models
- 16GB to 24GB VRAM for stronger local chat
- 48GB plus for larger open models
How to choose
VRAM matters more than raw gaming performance for many local LLM workflows. Buy for the model sizes you actually plan to run.
