Can the Intel Arc B570 run Phi-3.5 Vision Instruct?

37Basic quality (D) · 37 of 100: how capable the model is at Q6_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 71/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, it runs great

Runs great. At Q6_K it needs about 7.7 GB of 10.0 GB usable, with an estimated speed of 59.6 tok/s.

How it’s rated

Quality 37Basic quality (D) · 37 of 100: how capable the model is at Q6_K, whatever it runs on. Match score 71/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q6_K, 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 Runs great
How well it runs on the Intel Arc B570: 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.

Quick answers

How much memory does Phi-3.5 Vision Instruct need on the Arc B570 10GB?

At Q6_K it needs about 7.7 GB. The Arc B570 10GB has 10.0 GB usable.

How fast is Phi-3.5 Vision Instruct on the Arc B570 10GB?

About 59.6 tok/s at Q6_K, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of Phi-3.5 Vision Instruct should I use on the Arc B570 10GB?

Q6_K. Of the versions that fit, it is the one that runs best; when two run equally well, the check prefers the higher-rated one.

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.
