Speed is modeled, not measured: decode is memory-bandwidth bound, so tokens per second is bytes read per token against achievable bandwidth. Mixture-of-experts models carry a wider band because only the routed experts are read each step, and few have been measured publicly.
Measured on this card
| Workload◍ | Median | Middle 50% | Runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Image generation | 12.43 it/s | 9.82–14.54 | 304 |
| Prompt processing | 2452.65 tok/s | 2018.10–2695.41 | 12 |
| Text generation | 81.90 tok/s | 78.44–83.73 | 10 |
Aggregated from community-submitted runs, so the spread is wide by nature — it covers different models, resolutions, step counts and settings, not one controlled configuration. Read the middle 50% rather than the median alone. These figures are reproduced with attribution from vladmandic-sd-data-benchmark, which publishes no licence — so we display and link rather than redistribute them.
Questions people ask
- What AI models can a RTX A4000 run?
- 848 of 2118 indexed open-weight models fit a RTX A4000 at 131,072 context with f16 KV cache, the largest being Laguna-XS-2.1 at IQ2_XXS. That covers text, vision-language, image, video and speech models.
- How much usable memory does a RTX A4000 actually have?
- Its nameplate is 16 GB, but about 14.88 GiB is available to a model once driver and compositor overhead is accounted for.
- Is a RTX A4000 fast for local AI?
- Its memory bandwidth is 448 GB/s, and that figure — not teraflops — is what governs token generation speed. Capacity decides what you can run; bandwidth decides how fast it runs.
