Running MiniMax H3 on a Single 3090: Troubleshooting OOMs and Optimizing Args
knoll_gallagher · reddit · 2026-08-05
A developer shared their experience running the MiniMax H3 video generation model locally on a single RTX 3090 (64GB RAM), providing a solution for common Out of Memory (OOM) errors.
- Counter-intuitive Finding: The author discovered that OOMs were actually caused by GPU demands being too low, leading to dynamic memory growing pains, rather than excessive load.
- Optimizations: By lowering the resolution to 0.2mpx and using int8 + kj sage, they successfully generated 30-second videos in about 16 minutes.
- Launch Args: Recommended adding --vram-headroom 3, --disable-pinned-memory, and --disable-cuda-malloc to mitigate memory issues. The full workflow file is also shared.
