Reddit users ask whether Hunyuan Image 3.0 Instruct is worth 170GB VRAM

A Reddit user asks for hands-on feedback on Hunyuan Image 3.0 Instruct, a February release that reportedly needs about 170GB of VRAM unquantized because it is a unique MoE unified model.
The poster says most discussion threads are dominated by GPU-focused comments, but they personally have a DGX Spark and could run an FP8 80GB quantization without swapping. The practical question is whether the model is worth deleting storage to make room for, and whether users with high-end hardware found it worthwhile.
