Command R+ 104B needs ~70.2 GB but Tesla P40 24GB only has 24.0 GB. Try a smaller quantization or lighter model.
Operating mode
Interactive favors responsiveness, while light API and scale-out lean harder on serving readiness. The fit stays the same, but the recommendation lens changes.
Current mode
Balanced
Balanced for general local use. Keeps the ranking neutral across personal and serving workflows.

Usable VRAM is the main blocker for this model.
Not enough usable memory
The model needs 70.2 GB, but this setup only exposes 24.0 GB of usable VRAM.
Older PCIe generation
PCIe 3.0 is workable, but it compounds the penalty when you offload heavily or try to scale across multiple cards.
Add more VRAM headroom
The first useful upgrade is more dedicated VRAM so you can fit the model without shrinking context or dropping to a much lower quant.

No, Command R+ 104B requires more memory than Tesla P40 24GB provides.
Command R+ 104B (104B parameters) requires approximately 70.2 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Command R+ 104B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On Tesla P40 24GB, Command R+ 104B achieves approximately 2.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 96800ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Command R+ 104B on Tesla P40 24GB receives a F grade with 2.0 tok/s and 4K context.
On Tesla P40 24GB, Command R+ 104B can safely use up to 4K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 131K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
