WhichH3: The H3 Hardware Reality Check
A Chinese-language calculator that estimates which MiniMax H3 model configurations a given GPU, memory setup, and storage system can run.
- For
- Local H3 video-model users choosing hardware
- Worth noticing
- It distinguishes no-disk operation from page-file use and estimates SSD reads, memory pressure, and generation time per configuration.
Field notes
The interface models more than VRAM: it includes system-memory bandwidth, page-file limits, drive type, weight offloading, and estimated PCIe transfers. Its example separates model loading, text encoding, sampling, VAE decoding, and fixed overhead, while warning that high-resolution estimates omit the extra cost of a second upscale-and-sample pass. A local calibration control lets users enter measured seconds per iteration and proportionally adjust the table.
