NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation — Benchmarks & Specs

20 GB VRAM

Short answer: the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation generates 24.7 tokens/sec on qwen2.5:14b (q4_K_M) under llama.cpp in a single cited run, per LocalScore.ai; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median. Its 20 GB of VRAM holds up to Gemma 2 27B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (16 of 23 models fit).

Bottom line: how fast is the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation?

At 1440p Reviewer fixed settings (raster), the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation averages 99 fps in Forza Horizon 5, per Jisaku Hibi. For local LLM inference it generates 24.7 tokens/sec running qwen2.5:14b at q4_K_M under llama.cpp, per LocalScore.ai. In Geekbench 5 OpenCL it scores 124,926 points, per technical.city. Its 20 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is qwen2.5:32b (32B parameters, IQ4_XS), generating 16.4 tokens/sec under llama.cpp, per Hardware Corner. That run's source does not report a context length; the Will-It-Run matrix sizes each model at its listed quantization with an ~8K context, and by that measure Gemma 2 27B at Q4_K_M is the largest that fits in 20 GB.

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 20 GB: by Q4-class file size, 16 of the 23 open-weight models in the SpecPicks Will-It-Run matrix load entirely into the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation's 20 GB with 1.5 GB left for an ~8K context, up to Gemma 2 27B (a 16.7 GB Q4_K_M file per its Hugging Face listing).

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from.
