Start with AMD Instinct MI300X, NVIDIA H200 SXM 141GB, NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB and review each compatibility page for full speed and fit details.
Q3_K_M is a balance point between memory usage and quality. If your GPU is below 2GB, consider lower-bit quantization; if you have extra VRAM, compare Q8/FP16 options for quality-sensitive workloads.
