Running Minimax Video on 12GB VRAM: 22-Min Render Tested
Svan_Derh · reddit · 2026-08-06
The author shares hands-on experience running the Minimax video generation model locally on a consumer GPU with 12GB of VRAM.
After tweaking prompts and overcoming Out-of-Memory (OOM) errors, the video was successfully rendered in 22 minutes, plus an additional 5 minutes for upscaling. This demonstrates that with proper parameter tuning, current open-source video models can run on limited hardware.
