NVIDIA GeForce RTX 6090 — Benchmarks & Specs
Bottom line: how fast is the GeForce RTX 6090?
For local LLM inference it generates 5.0 tokens/sec running gemma:26b at q4_0 under llama.cpp, per LocalLLaMA.
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.
The GeForce RTX 6090 is a graphics card from NVIDIA. Data on this page draws on 2 community AI inference reports, compiled from LocalLLaMA; each table row links to its source. Read this page when shopping the GeForce RTX 6090, comparing it against other graphics cards in your build, or sizing it for a specific workload (local LLM inference).
AI Inference Performance
Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.
| Model | Quantization | Relative | Tokens/sec | VRAM used | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| qwen3:0.6b | — ollama | 47.1 tok/s | — | LocalLLaMA 2026-04-15 | |
| gemma:26b | q4_0 llama.cpp | 5.0 tok/s | — | LocalLLaMA 2026-04-16 |
