ModelVRAM VS ShellNewHandler

• Addresses a real planning need
  I can't browse the live site, so this is inferred from the name. ModelVRAM appears to be a tool for estimating the GPU memory (VRAM) that AI models need. Knowing this before downloading or deploying a model can save time and avoid out-of-memory errors.
• Helps with hardware decisions
  A VRAM estimator can show whether a model fits on a given GPU, such as a consumer RTX card or a cloud instance. That helps users decide what to buy or rent without trial and error.
• Likely quick and accessible
  Web-based calculators of this kind usually need no installation or setup. Users can check requirements in a browser, which suits hobbyists and newcomers to local LLMs.
• Can clarify quantization trade-offs
  Tools like this typically let you compare precision levels (FP16, 8-bit, 4-bit) and see how they change memory use. That helps users pick a model size and quantization that balance quality against hardware limits.
• Useful for budgeting and capacity planning
  Teams and individuals can use VRAM estimates to plan GPU purchases or cloud spend. This reduces over-provisioning and avoids buying hardware that can't run the intended models.

Possible disadvantages

• Estimates may not match real-world usage
  VRAM calculators rely on formulas and assumptions. Actual usage varies with the inference framework, KV cache settings, batch size, context length, and driver overhead, so results can be off by a noticeable margin.
• Model coverage may lag behind
  New models and architectures, such as mixture-of-experts or new attention mechanisms, are released constantly. A tool like this may not support the newest ones right away, or may handle them less accurately.
• Limited scope
  A VRAM estimator typically covers memory only. It may not give performance guidance such as tokens per second, latency, or throughput, so users still need other tools to judge whether a setup is practical.
• Unverified details and reliability
  I couldn't access the site, so I can't confirm its accuracy, update frequency, pricing, or who maintains it. Users should cross-check its numbers against official model documentation or community benchmarks.
• Competition from similar tools
  Other VRAM calculators and community resources exist, including Hugging Face's memory estimators and various open-source calculators. Without clear differentiation, ModelVRAM may offer little beyond what is already available.

• I recently got libreoffice, but now the new option in right click looks like a mess. Can someone help me get rid of them please?

  Use Shell New Handler. Run the portable app and simply untick the items you don't want to appear in your new context menu. Source: about 4 years ago

• This menu should be easy to add/remove programs to... Who is really creating Access Databases from this menu often enough to keep it here? (Not me!) Is there an easy way to edit this?

  I've always used ShellNewHandler for this. It's a really simple portable utility that allows you to remove most of the items from that menu. Tested it out on Windows 11 and it's still compatible. Source: over 5 years ago
