Common questions
- Does Llama 70B fit on an RTX 4090?
- Not in full at Q4_K_M. Weights are about 42 GB in this formula, about 46 GB with KV cache and overhead at 8,192 tokens, and a 4090 has 24 GB. Two 24 GB cards, or a Mac with enough unified memory, can at that context. That is still an estimate, not a measured GGUF. At 32,768 tokens with FP16 KV the same pair does not fit.
- Are the tokens per second measured?
- No. Tokens per second are estimated from memory bandwidth. They are not a timed run on a real machine, and this site has not published a benchmark for them.
- Are the prices accurate?
- On 16 October 2026 the stored RTX 3090 card is the used median €1,224 and the stored RTX 4090 card is the used median €2,185, both from pcprice.watch. The same cards also show GPU PRIX new prices: 3090 €2,218 and 4090 €3,790. The RTX 5090 card is €6,299 from PriceSquirrel (Proshop.fi, in stock). Build totals use those stored card prices plus a sourced RAM line and rest of system (estimate), and stay unverified. Mac mini M6 16 GB, Mac Studio M5 Max 36 GB and M5 Ultra 96 GB cite the Belgian Apple Store. Other Apple euro amounts are estimates or used figures and say price unverified. Rows still dated 2026-10-14 without a listing say price unverified. Prices incl. VAT, excl. shipping. USD = FX estimate, excl. sales tax.
