Can the RTX 3090 24 GB run Mage-Flow (Microsoft)?
Yes. 16-bit fits on the RTX 3090 24 GB with 14.0 GB to spare.
16-bit (8.2 GB) needs about 10.0 GB in use, so 14.0 GB of the 24 GB stays free: room for a larger image, a LoRA or a ControlNet.

04About the RTX 3090 24 GB
The RTX 3090 24 GB (Ampere) has no FP8 compute. FP8 files still load and save memory, but ComfyUI converts them back before the maths, so there is no speed gain - Q8_0 GGUF is the closer-to-original 8-bit choice. ComfyUI can compute INT8 files natively on NVIDIA, which is worth a try where a model offers one.
