Best precision: FP8
Memory mode: Sequential CPU offload
Time per image: 66 s
Output: 1024×1024, 50 steps

How it’s rated

Quality 88Excellent quality (A+) · 88 of 100: how capable the model is at FP8, whatever it runs on. Match score 72/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at FP8, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs SlowCPU offload: How well it runs on the NVIDIA L40: speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Model qualityEditorial quality tier of the model, scaled by the quantization or precision used.	39.7 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.	12.0 / 25
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.	5.9 / 15
Memory useRewards using the memory you have, so a bigger, better variant beats a tiny one that leaves most memory idle.	15.0 / 15
Match score	72.5 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Quick answers

How much memory does HunyuanImage 3.0 (80B-A13B) need on the NVIDIA L40 48GB?

At FP8 it needs about 32.8 GB. The NVIDIA L40 48GB has 48.0 GB usable.

How long does HunyuanImage 3.0 (80B-A13B) take on the NVIDIA L40 48GB?

About 66 s per image at FP8 and default settings, an estimate scaled from a reference timing by this hardware’s compute speed.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
