NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti vs NVIDIA RTX A4000 16GB for local LLMs

50 reports on the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti 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 2.0x higher on the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (896 GB/s on the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, 448 on the NVIDIA RTX A4000 16GB). The estimates below compare them on the models people run most.
