Local AI performance
What the PNY RTX A6000 can run on your own machine, and how fast. Capacity and speed come from the RTX A6000 chip, so they are the same on every board version; price per GB is this board’s own.
Largest model it can run (8K context)
- Q4 (the usual choice, near-original quality)
- ~68B
- Q8 (closer to original, half the model size)
- ~40B
- FP16 (unquantised, for training and research)
- ~21B
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
- 99-116 tok/s
- Memory bandwidth
- 768 GB/s
- Price per GB of VRAM
- $123.86
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Qwen2 Math 72B | 72.7B | 43.9GB | 12-14 tok/s |
| Dolphin Llama3 70B | 71.0B | 42.7GB | 12-14 tok/s |
| Llama3 Chatqa 70B | 71.0B | 42.7GB | 12-14 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.
