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 DINOv3

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 DINOv3

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

What you need to run it

Minimum card

Tesla K20c

Memory needed

4.1 GB

Fastest

484 tok/s

DINOv3 is small enough at 7B parameters that hardware is rarely the obstacle — 589 of the cards we track can run it, including cards several years old.

The least hardware that works is a Tesla K20c. Its 5 GB is enough at Q3_K_M compression, giving roughly 28.9 tokens per second.

Top of the range is the B200, at roughly 484 tokens per second thanks to 8,000 GB/s of bandwidth.

Background

DINOv3 was published by Meta AI, in United States of America, in August 2025. It comes out of industry.

It works in Vision, and is recorded as doing image classification, Object detection, Semantic segmentation.

The weights being open is what puts this page in the calculator rather than only in the catalogue: it is a model you can actually hold.

Reading the throughput figures

Across every card that can run it, the middle of the range is about 26.1 tokens per second, and 559 of them clear the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed.

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

Its internal architecture is not on file, so memory is approximated from the parameter count and marked accordingly. Expect the real figure to differ, more so at long context.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for DINOv3

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

01

Start from the memory column

Every card here has been checked against DINOv3 — around 4.1 GB at Q3_K_M. Capacity is the gate — a card either holds it or it does not.
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 DINOv3.
03

Decide how much compression you will accept

The quantisation column varies by card, because a bigger card holds a more accurate copy of DINOv3 — Q3_K_M on the smallest card that fits. Set a floor to hold the comparison at one level.
04

Compare tokens per second, not specifications

The speed ordering for DINOv3 is effectively an ordering by memory bandwidth, which is why the B200 tops it at 484 tok/s.
05

Check the fit verdict before buying

A tight fit runs DINOv3 but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation; comfortable has headroom. If you expect to grow the context, buy for comfortable.
06

Open the card you have settled on

Following a card through to its own page shows every other model it can hold, which is the question that follows once DINOv3 is settled.

Answers

DINOv3 — common questions

How much VRAM does DINOv3 need?

About 4.1 GB at Q3_K_M compression, 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.

Can I run DINOv3 on a 8 GB GPU?

Yes. A CMP 170HX 8 GB with 8 GB runs it at Q6_K, using about 6.6 GB and generating roughly 131 tokens per second — a tight fit.

Can I run DINOv3 on a 12 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 3080 Ti with 12 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 8.2 GB and generating roughly 55.2 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Can I run DINOv3 on a 16 GB GPU?

Yes. A Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB with 16 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 8.2 GB and generating roughly 68.4 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Can I run DINOv3 on a 24 GB GPU?

Yes. A GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 with 24 GB runs it at Q8_0, using about 8.2 GB and generating roughly 81.1 tokens per second — a comfortable fit.

Is DINOv3 open source?

Its weights are published, so DINOv3 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.

How many parameters does DINOv3 have?

DINOv3 has 7B parameters. "we successfully train a DINO model with 7B parameters" (https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.10104, Section 1). Family includes distilled ViT-S/B/L/H+ and ConvNeXt variants. 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.

Who created DINOv3?

DINOv3 was published by Meta AI, based in United States of America, categorised as industry.

When was DINOv3 released?

DINOv3 was published in August 2025.

What is DINOv3 used for?

DINOv3 works in Vision, and is recorded as handling image classification, Object detection, Semantic segmentation. Models frequently carry more than one of each, and the tags describe purpose rather than capability limits.

Where can I download DINOv3?

The weights for DINOv3 are published, though we do not hold a repository link for it. This site calculates hardware requirements rather than hosting model files.

Can I run DINOv3 if it does not fit in my GPU?

It can be split between the card and system memory, but DINOv3 generates painfully slowly that way — the nearest miss we calculate is short by 1.3 GB. Nothing on this page assumes offloading.

Would two GPUs run DINOv3 faster?

A second card roughly doubles the memory available but not the generation rate. With 589 cards already able to run DINOv3 alone, the case for pairing is weak.

Why does the quantisation differ between cards for DINOv3?

Each card is shown running the least-compressed copy it can hold, and DINOv3 appears at 4 different compression levels across the cards that fit it. Bigger cards get the more accurate version.

How accurate are these DINOv3 speed estimates?

They are calculated from specifications rather than measured, and each carries a range — 290–774 tok/s on the B200, for instance. The same model and card vary by thirty to fifty per cent depending on the inference software and its version.

What GPU do I need to run DINOv3?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds DINOv3 is the Tesla K20c, with 5 GB of memory. It runs the model at Q3_K_M using about 4.1 GB, and produces roughly 28.9 tokens per second. 589 cards in total can run it.

How fast is DINOv3 on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is a B200 at about 484 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and 559 of the cards that can run DINOv3 clear that.
