What the numbers mean
What the memory subsystem means for AI
Memory
24 GB
Bandwidth
432 GB/s
Largest model
Mixtral 8x7B
The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF carries 24 GB of GDDR7, which covers the mid-sized models most people actually run — about 21.6 GB of it after the runtime and driver reserve their working space.
The memory bus moves 432 GB/s across a 192-bit bus. That is the number that governs generation speed — arithmetic per byte read is small enough that the bus, not the cores, is what everything waits on.
The figure is the memory clock — 1.13 GHz here — multiplied by the bus width. It is why core counts predict generation speed so poorly.
The biggest thing it holds is Mixtral 8x7B (46.7B) at Q3_K_M compression, for about 38.3 tokens per second.
The chip and how it was built
The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF is built on the GB203 graphics processor, using NVIDIA's Blackwell 2.0 architecture, as part of the Blackwell PRO W(x000) generation.
The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process, with a die measuring 378 mm², holding 45.6 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 August 2025. 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
25.7 TFLOPS
FP64
401 GFLOPS
Tensor cores
280
On paper the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF reaches 25.7 TFLOPS at half precision and 25.7 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 401 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 280 tensor cores across 70 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 577 MHz at base to 1.43 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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF has 128 KB of L1 cache, backed by 48 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 8,960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 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
70 W
The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF is rated at 70 W, with a 250 W power supply suggested for the whole system. 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 dual-slot, measuring 167 mm long. 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 5.0 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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF
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 502 models this RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF runs is in the table above. Search narrows it by name or by size.
-
02
Set the context length you will actually use
Drag the slider to the conversation length you plan to work at. The cache grows with the conversation, and on 24 GB it is often what pushes a large model over the edge.
-
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
The figures are calculated, not measured. 183 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
Compare what each model needs with the 24 GB this card provides. Tight means it works today; comfortable means it still works when the conversation grows.

Answers
RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF — common questions
What is the largest AI model a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF can run?
The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF is Mixtral 8x7B at 46.7B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 38.3 tokens per second and needs about 21.0 GB of the card's memory.
How many tokens per second does a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF produce?
It depends on the model. On a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 183 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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF run a 7B model?
Yes. For example a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF runs Multi-Token Prediction 7B at Q8_0, using about 7.9 GB of memory and generating around 27.3 tokens per second.
Can a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF run a 13B model?
Yes. For example a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF runs DeepSeekMoE-16B at Q8_0, using about 17.5 GB of memory and generating around 63.5 tokens per second.
Can a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF run a 30B model?
Yes. For example a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF runs Nemotron 3-Nano-30B-A3B at Q4_K_M, using about 18.1 GB of memory and generating around 74.3 tokens per second.
How much memory does a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF have?
A RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF has 24 GB of GDDR7 memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 21.6 GB available for a model and its conversation.
What is the memory bandwidth of a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF?
The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF has 432 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 192-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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF use?
It uses GDDR7 clocked at 1.13 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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF?
The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF is a NVIDIA product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process.
When was the RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF released?
The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF was released in August 2025.
How much power does a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF use?
The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF has a rated board power of 70 W, and a 250 W system power supply is suggested. 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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF have?
The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF has 128 KB of L1 cache, and 48 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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF?
The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF is rated at 25.7 TFLOPS at half precision and 25.7 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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF have?
The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF has 280 tensor cores across 70 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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF support CUDA?
Yes. The RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF reports CUDA compute capability 12.0. 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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF use?
It uses PCIe 5.0 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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF good for running local AI models?
Its memory comfortably covers the mid-sized models most people run locally and its bandwidth gives usable, if unspectacular, generation speeds. In total it runs 502 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 PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF run a model that does not fit in its memory?
It can be split, with the overflow held in system memory — but that part drags the whole thing down, and none of the 24 GB figures on this page assume it.
Would two RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF cards be twice as fast?
Capacity adds, throughput does not. Two of them give you 48 GB to work with rather than twice the tokens per second — every figure here is for a single RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF.
What AI models can a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF run?
502 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF 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.
