H200 NVL FAQ

What is the largest model the H200 NVL can run?

Qwen3 235B A22B Thinking 2507 (235.1B) is the largest at 4-bit or better: at Q4_K_S it uses 134.1 GB of 141 GB, and runs at about 109 tok/s. At 3-bit, a bigger model fits too: DeepSeek V4 Flash (290.9B) at IQ3_M, 131.4 GB.

Can the H200 NVL run Qwen3.8 27B?

Yes. Qwen3.8 27B fits at Q4_K_M, using 17.9 GB of 141 GB, and it is the best model that runs well on this card.

How many tokens per second does the H200 NVL give?

About 179 tok/s on Qwen3.8 27B at Q4_K_M, with the first token after 0.6 s on a 4K-token prompt.

What power supply does the H200 NVL need?

Plan a 1200 W PSU (2× the 600 W TDP).

Is 141 GB enough for coding and agents?

Yes for coding: Qwen3.8 27B, the best of the 14 coding models that fit, runs at about 179 tok/s.
