Can the Intel Arc A580 run InternVL3.5 38B?

Yes, but slowly (heavy RAM offload)

Slow (heavy RAM offload). At Q3_K_M it needs about 22.0 GB of 8.0 GB usable, with an estimated speed of 3.5 tok/s.

Best quant: Q3_K_M
Generation speed: 3.5 tok/s
Prompt processing: 169 tok/s

Best app to run it on the Intel Arc A580

On Windows

Command line + local API · runs on llama.cpp

Splits the model between GPU memory and system RAM, which this setup needs.
Gives you direct control of how many layers sit on the GPU, the best way to squeeze a model that doesn’t quite fit.
Supports Intel Arc through SYCL and Vulkan.

llama-server -hf bartowski/OpenGVLab_InternVL3_5-38B-GGUF:Q3_K_M

LM Studio Splits the model between GPU memory and system RAM, which this setup needs.
Jan Splits the model between GPU memory and system RAM, which this setup needs.

How it’s rated

Quality 63Good quality (B) · 63 of 100: how capable the model is at Q3_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 52/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at Q3_K_M, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Slowheavy RAM offload: How well it runs on the Intel Arc A580: speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Model qualityEditorial quality tier of the model, scaled by the quantization or precision used.	28.7 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.	4.0 / 25
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.	4.4 / 15
Memory useRewards using the memory you have, so a bigger, better variant beats a tiny one that leaves most memory idle.	15.0 / 15
Match score	52.2 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
