Usable VRAM is the main blocker for this model.
Not enough usable memory
The model needs 15.7 GB, but this setup only exposes 8.0 GB of usable VRAM.
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, CogVLM2 19B requires more memory than Radeon RX 7700S 8GB provides.
CogVLM2 19B (19B parameters) requires approximately 15.7 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for CogVLM2 19B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On Radeon RX 7700S 8GB, CogVLM2 19B achieves approximately 2.6 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 73093ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, CogVLM2 19B on Radeon RX 7700S 8GB receives a F grade with 2.6 tok/s and 4K context.
On Radeon RX 7700S 8GB, CogVLM2 19B 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.
