| LLMs it runs | 48 of 69 | 62 of 69 (better for this comparison) |
| Best model it runs | Gemma 4 31BQ2_K · estimated 45–67 tok/s | Gemma 4 31BFP16 · estimated 20–30 tok/s |
Both prices cover GPU cards only. A host PC is required and its cost is excluded. Prices are approximate catalog estimates; check current configurations and prices before buying.
The recommended quants differ. These estimated speeds are not a like-for-like comparison. Estimates use 4,096 context tokens, llama.cpp and one stream.
The NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell (96GB) runs 14 more of the tracked models (62 vs 48), thanks to its 96.0 GB of memory. The NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell (96GB) has more memory bandwidth (1792 GB/s). Higher bandwidth can help generation speed, but model, quant, architecture and runtime also affect the estimates.
