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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Prompt processing | 4623.70 tok/s | 3136.07–6649.93 | 24 |
| Text generation | 155.65 tok/s | 81.58–169.65 | 20 |
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 llama.cpp-discussion-15013.
Questions people ask
- What AI models can a RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell run?
- 2011 of 2118 indexed open-weight models fit a RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell at 8,192 context with f16 KV cache, the largest being Phi-3.5-MoE-instruct at Q5_K_L. That covers text, vision-language, image, video and speech models.
- How much usable memory does a RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell actually have?
- Its nameplate is 32 GB, but about 29.76 GiB is available to a model once driver and compositor overhead is accounted for.
- Is a RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell fast for local AI?
- Its memory bandwidth is 896 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.
