NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti vs NVIDIA T4 16GB for local LLMs
52 reports on the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti and 7 on the NVIDIA T4 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 2.8x higher on the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti (896 GB/s on the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, 320 on the NVIDIA T4 16GB). The estimates below compare them on the models people run most.
