Boogu-Image (Turbo) on 10 GB of VRAM
Not entirely. Even Q5_1 is 1.2 GB over 10 GB, so ComfyUI keeps part of it in system RAM. A 10B model from June 2026 that generates and edits in one. Turbo needs about 4 steps; Base and the separate Edit checkpoints are the same size.
Nothing fits entirely, but Q5_1 (8.6 GB) overflows by only about 1.2 GB. ComfyUI keeps that part in system RAM automatically: slower than a full fit, but usable.
Also try the FP8 file (10.3 GB) on NVIDIA GPUs. It does not fit entirely, but a current ComfyUI streams the overflow from RAM and native 8-bit files often beat a small GGUF that does fit. Dynamic VRAM →

04The text encoder
Take the smallest Qwen3-VL 8B file (6.3 GB): it is the only one that fits in 10 GB on its own. Sizes: FP8 10.6 GB, NVFP4 6.3 GB. Why the encoder does not count against VRAM →
