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.

What the numbers mean
Why memory is the number that matters here
Memory
8 GB
Bandwidth
192 GB/s
Largest model
Baichuan 1-13B
At 8 GB of GDDR5 the Quadro P4000 Mobile is limited to the smaller end of the catalogue. About 7.2 GB is actually available to a runtime, and a model has to fit entirely inside it before generating anything at all.
At 192 GB/s across a 256-bit bus, bandwidth is this card's real constraint. Every token requires reading the entire model out of memory, so a large model will feel slow here even when it fits.
Bandwidth is clock times bus width, and this card clocks its memory at 1.5 GHz. Both halves matter, and neither is visible in a gaming benchmark.
Put together, the largest model that fits is Baichuan 1-13B at 13.3B, running Q3_K_M and producing around 14.1 tokens per second.
The chip and how it was built
The Quadro P4000 Mobile is built on the GP104 graphics processor, using NVIDIA's Pascal architecture, as part of the Quadro Pascal-M(Px000) generation.
The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 16 nm process, with a die measuring 314 mm², holding 7.2 billion transistors. A smaller process generally means more performance for the same power, though for language models it matters far less than the memory subsystem.
It was released in January 2017, roughly 9 years ago. Inference software support tends to follow hardware by a year or two, so a card of this age generally has mature, well-optimised code paths available to it.
Compute throughput, and why it matters less than it looks
FP16
68.8 GFLOPS
FP64
137.5 GFLOPS
On paper the Quadro P4000 Mobile reaches 68.8 GFLOPS at half precision and 4.4 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak figures no real workload sustains, and generating text reaches only a small fraction of them — decoding is limited by memory rather than arithmetic, which is why a card can look enormously powerful here and still produce tokens at an ordinary rate.
Double-precision throughput is 137.5 GFLOPS. It has no bearing on running a language model — no inference runtime uses it — but it separates datacentre parts from consumer ones, since the latter deliberately restrict it.
Clocks run from 1.2 GHz at base to 1.23 GHz boosted. Worth far less here than on a gaming benchmark: raising the clock speeds up the arithmetic, and the arithmetic is not what generation is waiting on.
Cache and processing units
The Quadro P4000 Mobile has 48 KB of L1 cache, backed by 2 MB of L2. Cache absorbs a share of the memory traffic that would otherwise hit the main bus, which is the one place on this page where a number other than bandwidth quietly affects generation speed — a large L2 lets more of the working set stay close to the cores.
There are 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. These drive graphics workloads and contribute to prompt processing, but they sit idle for much of the time a model spends generating a reply.
Power, size and installation
Power draw
100 W
The Quadro P4000 Mobile is rated at 100 W. Running a language model keeps a card busy in bursts rather than continuously — it draws hard while generating and idles between requests — so sustained draw over a working day is usually well below the rated figure.
The board occupies a mxm module. Worth checking against the case and power supply already in the machine, since the largest cards need considerably more of both than a typical desktop provides.
It connects over MXM-B (3.0). The interface governs how quickly a model is loaded from disk into the card, not how fast it runs once there, so a narrower link costs a few seconds at startup and nothing thereafter.

Step by step
How to work out the tokens per second of a Quadro P4000 Mobile
You do not have to calculate anything by hand — the gputps.com calculator on this page has already worked it out for every model this card can hold. Reading off the answer takes six steps.
-
01
Search for the model you want
All 337 models the Quadro P4000 Mobile handles are already listed. The search box takes a name or a size such as 27b, which matches on parameter count.
-
02
Set the context length you will actually use
Longer conversations cost memory on top of the weights. With 8 GB to work in, that is frequently the difference between a model fitting and not.
-
03
Choose how far you will compress
Compression is what lets bigger models fit. The quality control drops any model that needs more of it than you are willing to give.
-
04
Look at the range, not just the number
Speeds come with error bars for a reason. The best case here is 69.1 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B, and which inference software you use moves that by thirty to fifty per cent.
-
05
Check the memory column before committing
A tight fit runs but leaves no room to raise the context later; comfortable has headroom. The memory column shows what each model needs against the 8 GB available.
-
06
Check the same model from the other side
Following a model through to its own page lists all the hardware that can run it, so you can see where the Quadro P4000 Mobile sits against the alternatives.
Answers
Quadro P4000 Mobile — common questions
Would two Quadro P4000 Mobile cards be twice as fast?
Capacity adds, throughput does not. Two of them give you 16 GB to work with rather than twice the tokens per second — every figure here is for a single Quadro P4000 Mobile.
What AI models can a Quadro P4000 Mobile run?
337 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a Quadro P4000 Mobile and can be run locally on it. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.
What is the largest AI model a Quadro P4000 Mobile can run?
The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a Quadro P4000 Mobile is Baichuan 1-13B at 13.3B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 14.1 tokens per second and needs about 7.2 GB of the card's memory.
How many tokens per second does a Quadro P4000 Mobile produce?
It depends on the model. On a Quadro P4000 Mobile the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 69.1 tokens per second, while larger models run proportionally slower because each token requires reading the whole model out of memory once. Speeds are estimates for a single conversation at a time.
Can a Quadro P4000 Mobile run a 7B model?
Yes. For example a Quadro P4000 Mobile runs MetaMath 7B (LLaMa finetune) at Q4_K_M, using about 6.5 GB of memory and generating around 22.8 tokens per second.
Can a Quadro P4000 Mobile run a 13B model?
Yes. For example a Quadro P4000 Mobile runs Gemma 4 12B at Q3_K_M, using about 6.5 GB of memory and generating around 15.6 tokens per second.
How much memory does a Quadro P4000 Mobile have?
A Quadro P4000 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR5 memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 7.2 GB available for a model and its conversation.
What is the memory bandwidth of a Quadro P4000 Mobile?
The Quadro P4000 Mobile has 192 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 256-bit memory bus. This is the single best predictor of how fast it generates text, because producing each token means reading the entire model out of memory once.
What type of memory does a Quadro P4000 Mobile use?
It uses GDDR5 clocked at 1.5 GHz. HBM types are found on datacentre accelerators and carry far more bandwidth than the GDDR used on desktop cards, which is why they generate tokens considerably faster at the same capacity.
Who makes the Quadro P4000 Mobile?
The Quadro P4000 Mobile is a NVIDIA product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 16 nm process.
When was the Quadro P4000 Mobile released?
The Quadro P4000 Mobile was released in January 2017.
How much power does a Quadro P4000 Mobile use?
The Quadro P4000 Mobile has a rated board power of 100 W. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.
How much cache does a Quadro P4000 Mobile have?
The Quadro P4000 Mobile has 48 KB of L1 cache, and 2 MB of L2 cache. Cache absorbs part of the memory traffic that would otherwise reach the main bus, so a larger L2 gives a modest lift to generation speed beyond what bandwidth alone predicts.
What are the TFLOPS of a Quadro P4000 Mobile?
The Quadro P4000 Mobile is rated at 68.8 GFLOPS at half precision and 4.4 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak arithmetic ceilings rather than achievable rates, and text generation reaches only a small fraction of them because it is limited by memory bandwidth instead.
Does the Quadro P4000 Mobile support CUDA?
Yes. The Quadro P4000 Mobile reports CUDA compute capability 6.1, which predates tensor cores. Capability 7.0 and above has tensor cores, which modern inference software uses; below that it falls back to slower code paths for quantised models.
What bus interface does the Quadro P4000 Mobile use?
It uses MXM-B (3.0). This governs how fast a model is loaded onto the card rather than how fast it runs once loaded, so it costs a few seconds at startup and nothing during generation.
Is the Quadro P4000 Mobile good for running local AI models?
Its memory limits it to smaller models though its bandwidth means generation will feel slow on larger models. In total it runs 337 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.
Can a Quadro P4000 Mobile run a model that does not fit in its memory?
Offloading past the card's 8 GB is possible and usually a false economy: the system-memory portion is slow enough to dominate the result.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the hardware. If you already know which model you want and need to know what it takes to run it, start from the model instead.
