Tested means the exact GPU, model digest, runtime and context were physically tested. Estimated never means tested.

Method

What is included

The comparison includes the exact model blob, an explicit 8k KV cache estimate, a conservative planning margin and possible system-RAM offload. It does not predict speed or claim a physical test where none exists.
