Bottom line: how fast is the NVIDIA RTX A5500 24GB?

For local LLM inference it generates 26.1 tokens/sec running qwen:32b at q4_K_M under ollama, per DatabaseMart. In GeekBench 5 OpenCL it scores 173,222 points, per technical.city. Its 24 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is llava:34b (34B parameters, q4_K_M), generating 27.2 tokens/sec under ollama, per DatabaseMart.

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 NVIDIA RTX A5500 24GB is a graphics card from the Ampere Pro family released in 2021 from NVIDIA. Key on-paper specs include 24 GB of GDDR6 VRAM, 230W TDP. It launched with a $2,500 MSRP, though street prices typically diverge meaningfully from launch pricing. Data on this page draws on 11 synthetic benchmark results (top 10 shown), 12 community AI inference reports, compiled from DatabaseMart, TopCPU.net, HostKey, 3DMark, CpuTronic, llama.cpp GitHub Discussions, MyAIHardware, PassMark, technical.city; each table row links to its source. Read this page when shopping the NVIDIA RTX A5500 24GB, comparing it against other graphics cards in your build, or sizing it for a specific workload (synthetic benchmark scores or local LLM inference).

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 NVIDIA RTX A5500 24GB, 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.
