Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

The extremes

The ten fastest GPUs that run FLUX.2

Ranked by estimated tokens per second, newest card first where speeds tie. Because generation is bound by memory bandwidth, this ordering follows bandwidth rather than any gaming benchmark.

The smallest GPUs that still run FLUX.2

The cheapest route in, by memory capacity. A tight fit runs the model but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation.

What the numbers mean

The hardware side

Minimum card

RTX A4500

Memory needed

16.3 GB

Fastest

106 tok/s

FLUX.2 reaches a parameter count of 32B. That lands in the range a serious desktop card can handle once the weights are compressed. The number of cards we track that can run it: 132.

At the low end it is handled by RTX A4500, with a memory capacity of 20 GB, running it at a compression of Q3_K_M and producing around 22.9 tokens per second.

At the other end sits B200, generating roughly 106 tokens per second on the strength of a memory bandwidth of 8,000 GB/s.

Where it came from

FLUX.2 was published by Black Forest Labs, in the country recorded as Germany, during November 2025. The publishing organisation is categorised as industry.

It works in the domain of Image generation, and is recorded as performing the task of image generation.

Because its weights were released, nothing about running it depends on a provider staying available — it is yours once downloaded.

Understanding the speeds

The median result is around 20.7 tokens per second. Exceeding reading speed outright: 103 of them.

Every weight participates in every token here, so bandwidth is the whole story: the ranking below is effectively a ranking of memory throughput.

Without the attention layout on record, the memory column is an approximation. It is close enough to choose hardware by, and least reliable at long context.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for FLUX.2

The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.

01

Read the memory figure first

The table lists every card able to hold FLUX.2, needing around 16.3 GB at a compression of Q3_K_M. No amount of processing power compensates for a card that cannot hold it.
02

Match the context to your actual use

Longer conversations cost memory on top of what the weights need. Move the slider to your real working length before trusting any row for FLUX.2.
03

Decide how much compression you will accept

Compression is what makes a model fit smaller cards, at some cost in accuracy, reaching a compression of Q3_K_M on the smallest card that fits. Setting a minimum quality drops the cards that only manage it by squeezing further than you would want, and holds the comparison at one level.
04

Rank by throughput rather than spec sheet

The speed ordering is effectively an ordering by memory bandwidth, for FLUX.2. It will not match a gaming ordering, because generation is bound by memory bandwidth. The card topping the list is B200, at 106 tok/s.
05

Read the fit column last

A tight fit runs, but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation, in the case of FLUX.2. Comfortable means you can grow the context later. That difference matters more than a few tokens per second, so buy for comfortable if you expect to.
06

Open the card you have settled on

Each card page repeats this sweep for every model we hold, answering what else the hardware is good for beyond FLUX.2.

Answers

FLUX.2 — common questions

FLUX.2— why does the quantisation differ between cards?

A larger card holds a more accurate copy. The number of compression levels used across the cards that run it: 5. Bigger cards get the more accurate version, and the quality floor above pins the comparison to one level.

FLUX.2— how accurate are these speed estimates?

These are estimates with real error bars, and any of them could reasonably land anywhere in its published range depending on which runtime you use. The fastest result here: 64–169 tok/s on B200. The same model and card vary by thirty to fifty per cent depending on the inference software and its version.

FLUX.2— what GPU do I need to run it?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds it is RTX A4500, with a memory capacity of 20 GB. It runs the model at a compression of Q3_K_M using about 16.3 GB, and produces roughly 22.9 tokens per second. The number of cards able to run it in total: 132.

FLUX.2— how fast is it on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is B200, at about 106 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and the number of cards clearing that: 103.

FLUX.2— how much VRAM does it need?

It needs about 16.3 GB at a compression of Q3_K_M, which is what the smallest card that runs it uses. Less compression needs more: the figures in the memory column above are recalculated for each card, because each one holds the least-compressed version it can.

FLUX.2— can I run it on a GPU holding 24 GB?

Yes. The card GeForce RTX 5090 D V2, holding 24 GB, runs it at a compression of Q4_K_M, using about 20.1 GB and generating roughly 40.9 tokens per second. The fit is tight.

FLUX.2— is it open source?

Its weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

FLUX.2— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 32B. "32B parameter flow matching transformer" (https://github.com/black-forest-labs/flux2, README; https://bfl.ai/blog/flux-2). That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

FLUX.2— who created it?

It was published by Black Forest Labs, based in Germany, an organisation categorised as industry.

FLUX.2— when was it released?

It was published in November 2025.

FLUX.2— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Image generation, and is recorded as handling the task of image generation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

FLUX.2— where can I download it?

The weights are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

FLUX.2— can I run it if it does not fit in my GPU?

Partly. Layers that do not fit sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded model is rarely worth using. The nearest miss we calculate falls short by 5.7 GB. Every figure here assumes the whole model is resident on the card.

FLUX.2— would two GPUs run it faster?

Two cards buy memory rather than speed, which matters only if one card cannot hold it. The number that can: 132. So a second card is rarely the answer here.
