What is a good model that runs on 6GB Vram? (discuss.online)

Should be good at conversations and creative, it'll be for worldbuilding

Best if uncensored as I prefer that over it kicking in when I least want it

I'm fine with those roleplaying models as long as they can actually give me ideas and talk to be logically

Can't you just increase context length at the cost of paging and slowdown?

At some point you'll run out of vram memory on the GPU. You make it slower by offloading some memory layers to make room for more context.

Yes, but if he's world building, a larger, slower model might just be an acceptable compromise.

I was getting oom errors doing speech to text on my 4070ti. I know (now) that I should have for for the 3090ti. Such is life.

At a certain point, layers will be pushed to RAM leading to incredibly slow inference. You don't want to wait hours for the model to generate a single response.
