THE BIGGEST IT TAKES
AGAINST CARDS OF SIMILAR MEMORY
Quadro 40002 GB——
Neighbours in memory rather than in price: memory decides whether a card can do the job at all, so two cards of the same size at different prices is the comparison you are making. Ordered by memory, then bandwidth — not by the value column, which is worked out from bandwidth and price alone and therefore rewards a cheap card whatever its software stack does to that bandwidth in practice. Read it as one input, not as a ranking.

▸ AI CAPABILITY
47/ 449 models @ Q4
With 2 GB VRAM and 89.9 GB/s bandwidth, this GPU handles models up to 1.61B parameters.
Speed ≈ bandwidth / model_size × efficiency. A 7B model at Q4 runs at ~10 tok/s.
