Workload Recommendations

Guidance for optimal precision and operational ceilings on NVIDIA RTX 4090 D (24GB).

Inference Sweet Spot

Optimized for 14B models at uncompressed or Q8 precision, and 32B models at Q4 with up to 32k context.

Bandwidth & Speed Profile

With 1008 GB/s aggregate bandwidth, batch size 1 inference operates in a memory-bandwidth bound regime. Generates approximately 224 tok/s on an 8B Q4 model and 27 tok/s on a 70B Q4 model.
