# Can I run CogVideoX-5B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 (12GB)?

Updated: 2026-06-15

**No, not enough memory.** Needs ~16 GB at INT8 / fp8, but only ~11 GB is usable on Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 (12GB). With aggressive CPU offload it can run on as little as ~5 GB, much slower.

- Model: 5B DIT video model, peak ~16 GB VRAM at INT8 / fp8
- Device: 12 GB vram, ~11 GB usable
- All components resident (no offload): ~26 GB
- Offload floor (slow): ~5 GB
- Tools: Diffusers, ComfyUI
- License: CogVideoX License (commercial use: conditional)
