LTX-2.3 (22B) on 16 GB of VRAM
Not at full quality. The 16-bit and 8-bit files are too big for 16 GB; the largest that fits is Q3_K_M (10.8 GB). The March 2026 update of LTX-2, grown to 22B parameters.
Q3_K_M (10.8 GB) fits with only 0.4 GB to spare (about 15.6 GB of 16 GB). Quality: noticeable loss of detail.
