What the RTX 4000 Ada Generation can run on your own machine, and how fast.
Largest model it can run (8K context)
- Q4 (the usual choice, near-original quality)
- ~26B
- Q8 (closer to original, half the model size)
- ~15B
- FP16 (unquantised, for training and research)
- ~8.5B
Parameter counts the card holds with room for an 8K conversation, counting the model weights plus its attention cache. A longer conversation needs more memory, so it lowers these figures.
Speed & value
- Speed, 8B model at Q4
- 55-63 tok/s
- Memory bandwidth

Generation speed tracks memory bandwidth, because every word produced reads the whole model from memory. Shown as a range.
Models that fit, at Q4
| Model | Size | Memory needed | Est. speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lfm2 24B | 23.8B | 15.1GB | — |
| Magistral 24B | 23.6B | 16.5GB | 19-22 tok/s |
| Devstral 24B | 23.6B | 16.5GB | 19-22 tok/s |
Popular models small enough for this card at Q4, one per family. Speed is left blank for mixture-of-experts models, where a bandwidth estimate is not reliable enough to publish.
