What runs on it today

None of the 46 tracked models runs on it. The smallest, LFM2.5 1.2B, needs 1.7 GB at 8K context — about 61× what this machine can give it.

Every tracked model against this machine's memory at 8K context, through the same fit engine as the finder: measured file + computed context cache + overhead versus usable memory.

Accent: GeForce 256 · red: the smallest tracked model today, LFM2.5 1.2B (1.7 GB) · grey: the other cards

2 tracked models have no published attention shape and are counted as unknown.

One number per browser; it stays on this device and is never linked to you.

Edition Sep 2026 · The fit count is frozen into every issued number: a card from this month keeps saying what ran on the machine this month.

vendor = the maker's own page or press release · review = a contemporary review naming the figure · reported = a secondary source quoting the period. What has no honest source is left off the card.

No price: NVIDIA sold the chip, boards came from partners at their own prices.

Proportions approximate — the maker publishes no dimensions.

What the hologram shows

  • One GPU under a square heatsink with a small fan
  • Four memory chips around it
  • VGA connector on the bracket
  • Capacitors along the top edge

Drawn from the machine's dimensions and parts list, not from a scan: it says a machine of this era, not this exact board.
