GPUs for Local LLMs: Compare VRAM & Prices | VRAMGlass

# VRAMGlass > VRAMGlass (vramglass.com) is a free reference for running open-weight LLMs on your own hardware. It tracks asking prices for 57 GPUs and AI workstations on eBay (US), Xianyu (China) and Amazon.co.jp (Japan), and calculates how much VRAM 46 versions of 9 model families need at each quantization and context length. Coverage spans NVIDIA, AMD, Intel and Apple hardware, including unified-memory machines such as the DGX Spark and Mac Studio and aftermarket memory-modded cards such as the RTX 4090 48GB and RTX 2080 Ti 22GB. Pages are server-rendered HTML in English, Simplified Chinese (/zh) and Japanese (/ja), and need no login. The text of every GPU and model page (specs, buying notes, VRAM tables and FAQs) is collected in [llms-full.txt](https://vramglass.com/llms-full.txt); current prices are only on the GPU pages. ## What VRAMGlass answers - What a GPU costs right now on each marketplace, and its price history: each GPU page, for example [GeForce RTX 3090](https://vramglass.com/gpu/rtx-3090). - How much VRAM a model needs at 2-bit, 4-bit and 8-bit and at longer contexts, and which single-GPU, multi-GPU or MoE-offload setups run it: each model version page, for example [Qwen3.8 27B](https://vramglass.com/model/qwen/qwen3-8-27b). - Which models a GPU can run and roughly how fast: each GPU page. - Whether GPU prices overall are rising or falling: the [GPU price index](https://vramglass.com/index). - What a DDR4 or DDR5 memory stick costs (desktop UDIMM and server RDIMM, per stick and per GB, with 7-day and 30-day changes), and which server builds run large MoE models from system RAM: [DDR4 prices](https://vramglass.com/ddr4) and [DDR5 prices](https://vramglass.com/ddr5). ## Citing VRAMGlass - Cite the page URL without query parameters.
