NVIDIA RTX Pro 4500 Blackwell 32GB vs NVIDIA V100 32GB for local LLMs

4 reports on the NVIDIA RTX Pro 4500 Blackwell 32GB and 19 on the NVIDIA V100 32GB

Which is faster for local LLMs?

On Qwen3.6 27B at 4-bit, the NVIDIA RTX Pro 4500 Blackwell 32GB runs at 45.2 tokens per second (one run) and the NVIDIA V100 32GB at 32.2 (one run). Those are community reports whose engines and settings differ, so the gap is a rough sign, not a controlled measure of the two cards. Memory bandwidth, which caps how fast a card can write, is about the same on both (896 GB/s on the NVIDIA RTX Pro 4500 Blackwell 32GB, 900 on the NVIDIA V100 32GB).

Measured on both

Median tokens per second from plain runs (one device, one request, no speculative decoding, the whole model in the device's memory) of the same model size at the same quant level. Engines and context lengths can still differ between the runs. How to read these

Estimated by the calculator

The quant the calculator recommends for each card and its estimated speed at a 32,768-token context with 32 GB of system RAM, from memory bandwidth and the model's shape. Where a model was also measured above, the measurement wins.
