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
Capacity and bandwidth
Memory
6 GB
Bandwidth
192 GB/s
Largest model
Qwen-VL
At 6 GB of GDDR6 the RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation is limited to the smaller end of the catalogue. About 5.4 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 96-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 2 GHz. Both halves matter, and neither is visible in a gaming benchmark.
The biggest thing it holds is Qwen-VL (9.6B) at Q3_K_M compression, for about 22.9 tokens per second.
The chip and how it was built
The RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation is built on the AD107 graphics processor, using NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace architecture, as part of the Ada-MW(x000A) generation.
The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process, with a die measuring 159 mm², holding 18.9 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 February 2024, roughly 2 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
10.4 TFLOPS
FP64
162 GFLOPS
Tensor cores
80
On paper the RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation reaches 10.4 TFLOPS at half precision and 10.4 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 162 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.
The card carries 80 tensor cores across 20 streaming multiprocessors. These accelerate the matrix arithmetic at the heart of a transformer, and they are what make prompt processing — reading a long document before answering — dramatically faster than it would otherwise be.
Clocks run from 1.49 GHz at base to 2.03 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 RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation has 128 KB of L1 cache, backed by 12 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 2,560 shading units, 80 texture mapping units, and 48 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
35 W
The RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation is rated at 35 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 igp. 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 PCIe 4.0 x8. 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 RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation
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
Find the model in the table
Every one of the 266 models this RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation runs is in the table above. Search narrows it by name or by size.
-
02
Decide how long your conversations run
Drag the slider to the conversation length you plan to work at. The cache grows with the conversation, and on 6 GB it is often what pushes a large model over the edge.
-
03
Choose how far you will compress
By default the table picks the least-compressed copy that fits. Setting a floor removes models that only qualify through heavy compression.
-
04
Take the range as the answer
The figures are calculated, not measured. 81.3 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B is the fastest result on this card, and like every row it carries a range that reflects how much the runtime matters.
-
05
Check the headroom before you decide
The fit column separates models that just fit from those with room to spare — worth checking against the card's 6 GB before settling on one.
-
06
Open the model to compare cards
Following a model through to its own page lists all the hardware that can run it, so you can see where the RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation sits against the alternatives.
Answers
RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation — common questions
What AI models can a RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation run?
266 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation 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 RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation can run?
The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation is Qwen-VL at 9.6B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 22.9 tokens per second and needs about 5.4 GB of the card's memory.
How many tokens per second does a RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation produce?
It depends on the model. On a RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 81.3 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 RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation run a 7B model?
Yes. For example a RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation runs MetaMath 7B (Mistral finetune) at IQ4_XS, using about 5.1 GB of memory and generating around 28.5 tokens per second.
How much memory does a RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation have?
A RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation has 6 GB of GDDR6 memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 5.4 GB available for a model and its conversation.
What is the memory bandwidth of a RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation?
The RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation has 192 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 96-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 RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation use?
It uses GDDR6 clocked at 2 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 RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation?
The RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation is a NVIDIA product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process.
When was the RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation released?
The RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation was released in February 2024.
How much power does a RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation use?
The RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation has a rated board power of 35 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 RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation have?
The RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation has 128 KB of L1 cache, and 12 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 RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation?
The RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation is rated at 10.4 TFLOPS at half precision and 10.4 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.
How many tensor cores does a RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation have?
The RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation has 80 tensor cores across 20 streaming multiprocessors. They accelerate the matrix arithmetic a transformer is built from, which mainly speeds up processing a long prompt rather than producing the reply.
Does the RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation support CUDA?
Yes. The RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation reports CUDA compute capability 8.9. 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 RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation use?
It uses PCIe 4.0 x8. 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 RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation 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 266 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.
Can a RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation run a model that does not fit in its memory?
Offloading past the card's 6 GB is possible and usually a false economy: the system-memory portion is slow enough to dominate the result.
Would two RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation cards be twice as fast?
No. A second RTX 1000 Mobile Ada Generation doubles the memory to 12 GB, which lets you hold models neither could hold alone, but generation does not split that way. These figures describe one card.
