lowvram: running a 24GB-VRAM AI model on a 6GB RTX 3060 by intercepting CUDA calls
henriquegogo · reddit · 2026-11-06
The author wanted to run YuE2, which requires BF16 and 24GB of VRAM, on a 6GB RTX 3060. The fix is lowvram, a tool that intercepts CUDA calls at the library layer, tricking the app into believing system RAM is available to GPU kernels. The post explains the approach but omits full configs and benchmarks.
