Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

The extremes

The ten fastest GPUs that run Llama Nemotron Super 49B

Ranked by estimated tokens per second, newest card first where speeds tie. Because generation is bound by memory bandwidth, this ordering follows bandwidth rather than any gaming benchmark.

The smallest GPUs that still run Llama Nemotron Super 49B

The cheapest route in, by memory capacity. A tight fit runs the model but leaves nothing spare for a longer conversation.

What the numbers mean

What you need to run it

Minimum card

Radeon PRO V710

Memory needed

24.6 GB

Fastest

69.2 tok/s

Llama Nemotron Super 49B reaches a parameter count of 49B. That lands in the range a serious desktop card can handle once the weights are compressed. The number of cards we track that can run it: 93.

The least hardware that works is Radeon PRO V710, with a memory capacity of 28 GB, running it at a compression of Q3_K_M and producing around 9.2 tokens per second.

The fastest we calculate for it is B200, generating roughly 69.2 tokens per second on the strength of a memory bandwidth of 8,000 GB/s.

About this model

Llama Nemotron Super 49B was published by NVIDIA, in the country recorded as United States of America, during March 2025. It comes out of an organisation categorised as industry.

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as performing the task of language modeling/generation, Question answering, Quantitative reasoning, Code generation, Neural Architecture Search - NAS.

Rather than being trained from scratch, it is derived from Llama 3.3 70B. That is the usual way a specialised model is produced.

Published weights mean the model runs on your machine rather than someone else's, which is what makes the hardware question below answerable at all. On Hugging Face it is published under the organisation nvidia.

How fast it runs, and why

The median result is around 17.5 tokens per second. Clearing the ten tokens per second that roughly matches reading speed: 71 of them.

Being dense, it reads all of itself per token, which is why the ordering by speed below follows the ordering by memory bandwidth so closely.

Its internal architecture is not on file, so memory is approximated from the parameter count and marked accordingly. Expect the real figure to differ, more so at long context.

What went into building it

Training consumed a corpus of around 100,000,000,000 tokens of text.

Step by step

How to choose a GPU for Llama Nemotron Super 49B

The table above has already assessed every card we hold specifications for against this model. Getting to your answer takes six steps.

01

Start from the memory column

The table lists every card able to hold Llama Nemotron Super 49B, needing around 24.6 GB at a compression of Q3_K_M. Capacity is the gate — a card either holds it or it does not.
02

Set the context length you will work at

Longer conversations cost memory on top of what the weights need. Move the slider to your real working length before trusting any row for Llama Nemotron Super 49B.
03

Decide how much compression you will accept

Compression is what makes a model fit smaller cards, at some cost in accuracy, reaching a compression of Q3_K_M on the smallest card that fits. Setting a minimum quality drops the cards that only manage it by squeezing further than you would want, and holds the comparison at one level.
04

Rank by throughput rather than spec sheet

Ranking by tokens per second follows memory bandwidth rather than core counts, for Llama Nemotron Super 49B. It will not match a gaming ordering, because generation is bound by memory bandwidth. The card topping the list is B200, at 69.2 tok/s.
05

Read the fit column last

Tight means it loads and works with no room to raise the context later, in the case of Llama Nemotron Super 49B. Comfortable means you can grow the context later. That difference matters more than a few tokens per second, so buy for comfortable if you expect to.
06

Open the card you have settled on

Answers

Llama Nemotron Super 49B — common questions

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— can I run it if it does not fit in my GPU?

Partly. Layers that do not fit sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded model is rarely worth using. The nearest miss we calculate falls short by 8.7 GB. Every figure here assumes the whole model is resident on the card.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— would two GPUs run it faster?

Capacity adds across cards; throughput does not. The number of cards already holding it on their own: 93. So a second card is rarely the answer here.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— why does the quantisation differ between cards?

A larger card holds a more accurate copy. The number of compression levels used across the cards that run it: 5. Bigger cards get the more accurate version, and the quality floor above pins the comparison to one level.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— how accurate are these speed estimates?

These are estimates with real error bars, and any of them could reasonably land anywhere in its published range depending on which runtime you use. The fastest result here: 41–111 tok/s on B200. The same model and card vary by thirty to fifty per cent depending on the inference software and its version.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— what GPU do I need to run it?

The smallest card in our catalogue that holds it is Radeon PRO V710, with a memory capacity of 28 GB. It runs the model at a compression of Q3_K_M using about 24.6 GB, and produces roughly 9.2 tokens per second. The number of cards able to run it in total: 93.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— how fast is it on a GPU?

It depends on the card. The quickest we calculate is B200, at about 69.2 tokens per second; the slowest that still runs it manages considerably less. Reading speed is around ten tokens per second, and the number of cards clearing that: 71.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— how much VRAM does it need?

It needs about 24.6 GB at a compression of Q3_K_M, which is what the smallest card that runs it uses. Less compression needs more: the figures in the memory column above are recalculated for each card, because each one holds the least-compressed version it can.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— is it open source?

Its weights are published, so it can be downloaded and run on your own hardware. Note that open weights is not the same as open source in the full sense — it says nothing about the training data, the training code, or the commercial terms attached.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— how many parameters does it have?

It has a parameter count of 49B. The model is a derivative of Meta’s Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct, using Neural Architecture Search (NAS). The NAS algorithm results in non-standard and non-repetitive blocks. This includes the following: Skip attention: In some blocks, the attention is skipped entirely, or replaced with a single linear layer. Variable FFN: The expansion/compression ratio in the FFN layer is different between blocks. We utilize a block-wise distillation of the reference model, where for each block we create multiple variants providing different tradeoffs of quality vs. computational complexity, discussed in more depth below. We then search over the blocks to create a model which meets the required throughput and memory (optimized for a single H100-80GB GPU) while minimizing the quality degradation. That figure is the total, and it is what decides how much memory the model needs — roughly half a gigabyte per billion at the compression most people use.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— who created it?

It was published by NVIDIA, based in United States of America, an organisation categorised as industry.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— when was it released?

It was published in March 2025.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— what is it used for?

It works in the domain of Language, and is recorded as handling the task of language modeling/generation, Question answering, Quantitative reasoning, Code generation, Neural Architecture Search - NAS. These are the areas it was designed around; they describe intent rather than a hard boundary.

Llama Nemotron Super 49B— where can I download it?

Its weights are published on Hugging Face, under the organisation nvidia. We do not host model files — this site calculates what hardware is needed to run them.
