How it’s rated

Quality 89Excellent quality (A+) · 89 of 100: how capable the model is at Q8 GGUF, whatever it runs on. Match score 79/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at Q8 GGUF, 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 Very slow: How well it runs on the AMD EPYC 7002 / 7003 series NAS (128 GB): 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.	40.1 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of the NAS’s memory that models can use (the rest stays with the NAS system and its storage services); fewer when it goes past that limit.	25.0 / 25
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.	0.9 / 15
Memory useRewards using the memory you have, so a bigger, better variant beats a tiny one that leaves most memory idle.	14.0 / 15
Match score	80.0 / 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 MiniMax H3 (33B, video + audio) need on the AMD EPYC 7002 / 7003 series NAS 128GB?

At Q8 GGUF it needs about 68.2 GB. The AMD EPYC 7002 / 7003 series NAS 128GB has 113 GB usable.

How long does MiniMax H3 (33B, video + audio) take on the AMD EPYC 7002 / 7003 series NAS 128GB?

About 13.7 h per clip at Q8 GGUF 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.
