VRAM Bottleneck? Developer Stuck Running MiniMax Video Model Locally on RTX 4080
witcherknight · reddit · 2026-08-03
A developer encountered VRAM bottlenecks while attempting to run the MiniMax reference model locally on an RTX 4080 (with 64GB RAM) to replace characters in a 5-second video.
At a low resolution of 432x840, the process hangs at the model loading stage. The poster is asking if quantized versions, such as GGUF, are available to lower the hardware barrier for local deployment.
