You have to redesign your table. Right now, you are repeating a lot of stuff. If this is really the final layout of your tabular, you could just do:

% arara: pdflatex

\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{siunitx}

or something similar.

I would put T over graph size and Lambda in column header. Of course, that is matter of taste. At least, now one can read the content of table! — Zarko, Aug 25 '15 at 07:59
@Zarko Yes, and I would put "Model" in the header as well. But I fear, this is not the real content of the final table. Too repetitive in the OP. About the T: The table is already too heigh in my MWE. But acceptable IMO. If you load showframe you can see this blemish. — LaRiFaRi, Aug 25 '15 at 09:03

Building on @LaRiFaRi's observation that it's possible (and highly advisable) to remove a lot of repeated material, here's an even farther reaching reorganization of your table. It can be displayed in portrait mode.

You can get that by minimizing margins and font size, here we use \tiny.

Who can read this? If real table is similar narrow, then is better split it onto three parts and set them parallel each to other. Or use longtable and spread it over more pages. — Zarko, Aug 25 '15 at 06:58

Really big table and I can't fit it in one page please help!
