NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti 16GB vs NVIDIA RTX A4000 16GB for local LLMs
69 reports on the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti 16GB and 2 on the NVIDIA RTX A4000 16GB
Which is faster for local LLMs?
Nobody has reported the same model at the same quant on both cards yet, so there's no measured head-to-head. Memory bandwidth, which caps how fast a card can write, is about the same on both (448 GB/s on the NVIDIA RTX 5060 Ti 16GB, 448 on the NVIDIA RTX A4000 16GB).
