NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D — Benchmarks & Specs
Short answer: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D generates 34.4 tokens/sec on qwen2.5:32b (q4_K_M) under ollama in a single cited run, per DatabaseMart; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median. Its 24 GB of VRAM holds up to DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 32B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (20 of 23 models fit).
- Single cited run 34.4 tok/s qwen2.5:32b q4_K_M, per DatabaseMart
- Fits in 24 GB up to DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 32B at Q4_K_M → at ~8K context; 20 of 23 models in the Will-It-Run matrix
Bottom line: how fast is the GeForce RTX 4090 D?
At 1440p Highest, the GeForce RTX 4090 D averages 194 fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, per Hyper Cyber. For local LLM inference it generates 34.4 tokens/sec running qwen2.5:32b at q4_K_M under ollama, per DatabaseMart. In 3DMark Time Spy it scores 26,443 points, per 3DMark. Its 24 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the qwen2.5:32b run above (32B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card.
Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
Check what fits in 24 GB: by Q4-class file size, 20 of the 23 open-weight models in the SpecPicks Will-It-Run matrix load entirely into the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 D's 24 GB with 1.5 GB left for an ~8K context, up to DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen 32B (a 19.9 GB Q4_K_M file per its Hugging Face listing).
