The hardware roster · one memory class
the 24G class
24 GB·a memory class, not a product·3 figures, from 2 exhibits · named in 11 exhibits
This roster is in beta and still being tested: every figure is proved against the page it came from, and the way they are read and shown is still changing.
What this class resolves to, and what it does not
A memory class is registered here as an identity in its own right, never resolved to a card by inference. the 24G class is satisfied on this shelf by more than one thing: one exhibit names its card in its own words and is carried as a resolution; the rest name none, and each of those is listed with what it does say. Reading a card into the others would be this page making a claim its sources do not.
Resolved, by the exhibit itself:
- the-instrument-travels — names its card in its own words: RTX 3090 (24 GB)
Named here and resolved nowhere — every exhibit that uses the class and publishes no card:
- august-arrivals — one scored row is printed gemma4:12b (24G rig) — the rig named in the row's own label, and nowhere resolved to a card
- fifty-seven-milliseconds — the archive's own clock timings are stamped on the 24G VRAM rig beside the 96G ones; the page names no card for it
- how-a-vision-model-sees — the kit records a host class and a card VRAM in bytes, and names no model anywhere
- how-the-long-table-works — the Mistral chairs sit on a 24 GB gaming card and the numbers table's card column reads 24 GB gaming card — a kind and a capacity, written for a reader of any age, and the card itself is never named
- seat-trials — its own section heading reads The local roster · 96G VRAM workstation, one seat on the 24G rig and its hardware line reads the 96G VRAM workstation and the 24G VRAM rig — a seat on a class, twice, and the class is never resolved
- the-open-call — the NEAREST THING ON THE SHELF TO A RESOLUTION, and it is still not one: the page writes a 24 GB-class laptop GPU, which narrows the class to a laptop part without naming it. Recorded here rather than resolved, because a laptop GPU is not a card and this roster does not finish a page's sentence
- the-same-sixteen — the fit gate publishes fit (24 GB) as a COLUMN HEAD against a MiB budget — a capacity the rows are judged against, and it names no machine at all
- the-typist-and-the-developer — For most of its life this game served from a 24 GB rig and the 24 GB rig beat most of it by choosing a set that fit; the card is never named
- two-hours-on-battery — the page names its laptop Rig B and describes its card only as a 24G-VRAM-class GPU present and parked — no 5090, no 3090, nothing (its one 5090 hit is the digit substring inside total_duration_ns: 95090072350). THE JOIN IS REAL AND IT IS NOT THIS PAGE'S: a-rig-your-friend-already-owns' kit file rematch-rigB-0826-manifest.json carries card = RTX 5090 Laptop GPU 24G (gaming laptop), so the two exhibits' Rig B is very probably one machine. That is a reader's inference across two exhibits, offered here with both halves so the reader can make it — not a resolution this roster asserts, because the page does not
- voice-trials — two eras of trials ran on the 24G VRAM rig and no page or kit says which card that was

Pictures — seconds per render
Grouped by model and by what was measured, and inside a group sorted by power cap ascending — alphabetical and numeric, never by value. The heading of a group carries everything that does not change inside it; each row carries the value and the conditions that do. A condition the page does not state reads not stated, which is a third thing and not an uncapped card. A † means the same reading is printed in a second place on its exhibit — one reading, two printings, not two figures.

Where it appears
Every released exhibit that names this identity, in the shelf’s own order. A count beside an exhibit is how many of its figures are carried above, and it links the control that narrows the table to them — a number with no way back to what it counts is the thing this shelf exists against.

How this one is named here
The canonical name above is the full product name. Everything below is a spelling a published page or kit has actually used for it, kept so a reader who searches an older page’s words lands on this row. The set is closed and historical: no page cut after 2026-09-17 writes a memory class where it can write a card.
