Intel Arc A770 16 GB
The Intel Arc A770 16 GB has 16GB of VRAM and 560 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Its sweet spot tops out around gpt-oss-20b — the largest model that loads cleanly at a quality quant with llama.cpp at 8K context.
Intel verdicts are beta: fit is physics and holds, but ROCm/Vulkan speed tiers aren't calibrated yet — treat tiers as provisional until real measurements land.

Intel Arc A770 16 GB for local AI — common questions
- How much VRAM does the Intel Arc A770 16 GB have?
- The Intel Arc A770 16 GB has 16GB of VRAM with 560 GB/s of memory bandwidth. VRAM sets which models fit; bandwidth sets how fast they feel once they do.
- Is the Intel Arc A770 16 GB good for running AI models locally?
- Yes, within limits. 16GB comfortably runs small and mid-size models at a quality quant, but the largest open models will not fit. The largest model it loads cleanly is gpt-oss-20b, at a quality quant with llama.cpp at 8K context.
- What runtimes work with the Intel Arc A770 16 GB?
- It runs on Vulkan, which covers Ollama, llama.cpp and LM Studio. Runtime choice affects speed and features, not whether a model fits.
