Running Minimax H3 Locally: A 6GB RTX 3050 VRAM Test
JadedScorpion · reddit · 2026-08-13
A developer successfully ran the Minimax H3 video generation model locally on an RTX 3050 with only 6GB of VRAM. By utilizing quantized versions (like int4/int8) and resolving errors with the help of Claude, the workflow was established.
Due to VRAM limits, the author compromised on resolution and length, primarily using 0.3MP/10s or 0.2MP/10s settings. Generation takes about 5-10 minutes per run, and final quality is enhanced with RTX Super Resolution. The post includes specific model files, samplers, and scheduler configurations, providing a reproducible solution for low-VRAM users.
