Baichuan 13B needs ~24.9 GB VRAM. RTX 3090 Ti 24GB has 24.0 GB. With Q5_K_M quantization, expect ~53 tok/s.
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.

This setup is broadly balanced for this model.
Very little memory headroom
You can run the model, but there is not much room left for longer context, bigger batches, extra apps, or future model updates.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit
A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.

Yes, RTX 3090 Ti 24GB can run Baichuan 13B with a B grade (Runs with offload (needs ~0.3 GB host RAM)). Expected decode speed: 53.2 tok/s.
Baichuan 13B (13B parameters) requires approximately 24.9 GB of memory with Q5_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Baichuan 13B is Q5_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On RTX 3090 Ti 24GB, Baichuan 13B achieves approximately 53.2 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 3639ms using Q5_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Baichuan 13B on RTX 3090 Ti 24GB receives a B grade with 53.2 tok/s and 8K context.
On RTX 3090 Ti 24GB, Baichuan 13B can safely use up to 8K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 8K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit. A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.
