Local LLM
Evaluation - Not applicable
Launched in 2013, its design predates the generations current AI tooling assumes (2018 or later), so it is outside the scope of this quick check.
As a rule of thumb, (quantized) 8B models such as Gemma, Qwen, Llama, and DeepSeek need 8 GB of VRAM, 22B models need 16 GB, and 32B models need 24 GB. At the same VRAM capacity, newer generations also run faster. The field moves fast, so this is a quick check of where Quadro K4000's VRAM stands.
AI Image Generation
Evaluation - Not applicable
Launched in 2013, its design predates the generations current AI tooling assumes (2018 or later), so it is outside the scope of this quick check.
As a rule of thumb, (quantized) 2–6B models such as Krea, Flux, SDXL, Pony, Anima, and Illustrious need 8 GB of VRAM, 12B models need 16 GB, and 20B models need 24 GB. At the same VRAM capacity, newer generations also run faster. The field moves fast, so this is a quick check of where Quadro K4000's VRAM stands.
AI Video Generation
Evaluation - Not applicable
Launched in 2013, its design predates the generations current AI tooling assumes (2018 or later), so it is outside the scope of this quick check.
As a rule of thumb, (quantized) models such as Wan, LTX, and Hunyuan need at least 16 GB of VRAM for practical use. At the same VRAM capacity, newer generations also run faster. The field moves fast, so this is a quick check of where Quadro K4000's VRAM stands.
