HARDWARE INTENT GUIDE · CALCULATED

Best local LLMs for 24GB VRAM

For everyday chat at 8K context, this page runs the Local Lab planner against a 24GB dedicated NVIDIA memory pool, then shows the top three verified catalogue matches and their exact Ollama commands.

DIRECT ANSWER

Qwen3.6-27B, Qwen3.8-27B and Gemma 4 31B-it

These are the leading calculated memory-fit recommendations for a 24GB NVIDIA GPU in Kingy's current verified 12-model catalogue. This is not a universal model-quality leaderboard.

Fit boundary: these are planning estimates for dedicated VRAM. System RAM is not added to VRAM, and measured speed depends on the exact GPU, runtime and model build.
