NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Generation — Benchmarks & Specs

24 GB VRAM210W TDP$2,250 MSRP2023

Short answer: the NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Generation generates 128 tokens/sec on phi3:3.8b-mini-4k-instruct (q4) under llama.cpp in a single cited run, per Puget Systems; 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). An eBay listing for it is $2,500.00, checked (listings can end at any time).

Bottom line: how fast is the RTX 4500 Ada Generation?

At 1440p High, the RTX 4500 Ada Generation averages 107 fps in Control, per NoobFeed. For local LLM inference it generates 128.0 tokens/sec running phi3:3.8b-mini-4k-instruct at q4 under llama.cpp, per Puget Systems. In Geekbench 5 OpenCL it scores 193,592 points, per Technical.city. It has 24 GB of VRAM, and the phi3:3.8b-mini-4k-instruct run above (3.8B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card. Larger models have no sourced run on file.

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.

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 4500 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.

Synthetic Benchmarks

Higher is better. Bars are scaled within each benchmark family (multi-thread, single-thread, etc.) so you can compare like-with-like at a glance.

Synthetic benchmark scores for the RTX 4500 Ada Generation — higher is better. Each row links to the public database the number was taken from. A benchmark listed more than once is separate published results, shown as published rather than averaged.
