Usable VRAM is the main blocker for this model.
Not enough usable memory
The model needs 21.8 GB, but this setup only exposes 8.0 GB of usable VRAM.
Runtime ecosystem is narrower than CUDA
Intel GPUs can look attractive on memory per dollar, but local AI tooling, kernels, and model coverage are still broader and easier on CUDA today.
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.
Prefer CUDA if you want the path of least resistance
If your goal is maximum runtime coverage, easier troubleshooting, and better support for new local AI releases, CUDA is usually still the safer upgrade path.

No, WizardLM 13B requires more memory than Intel Arc A750 8GB provides.
WizardLM 13B (13B parameters) requires approximately 21.8 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for WizardLM 13B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On Intel Arc A750 8GB, WizardLM 13B achieves approximately 4.2 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 46489ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, WizardLM 13B on Intel Arc A750 8GB receives a F grade with 4.2 tok/s and 4K context.
On Intel Arc A750 8GB, WizardLM 13B can safely use up to 4K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 8K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.

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.
Often yes, if your goal is the easiest setup and the widest runtime support. Intel can offer attractive memory capacity, but CUDA still tends to win on tooling maturity, guides, kernels, and model coverage for local AI.
