Best GPU for Your Workload

Quick recommendations based on common AI and compute workloads.

Small LLMs (7–13B)

Entry / Mid-Range

Chatbots, simple agents, and internal tools using models like Mistral 7B, LLaMA 3 8B, or Phi-4. 8–16 GB VRAM is sufficient at Q4 quantisation.

RTX 4060 RTX 5060 RTX 4060 Ti 16GB RX 9070 XT

Large LLMs (33–70B)

High-End

Production inference for LLaMA 3.3 70B, DeepSeek-R1 70B, or Qwen3 72B. Requires 24–32 GB VRAM at Q4, or 96 GB for full-precision 70B deployments.

RTX 3090 RTX 5090 Radeon AI Pro R9700 RTX 6000 PRO

Speech & TTS

Mid-Range

Self-hosted Whisper transcription, XTTS-v2 voice cloning, or Kokoro TTS. Speech models are smaller but benefit from fast compute for real-time synthesis.

RTX 4060 RTX 5080 RTX 5090

Multimodal & Vision

High-End

OCR pipelines, document understanding, or vision-language models like LLaVA and Llama 3.2 Vision. Large context windows and image encoding demand ample VRAM.

RTX 5080 RTX 5090 RTX 6000 PRO

Code Models

Mid / High-End

DeepSeek Coder, Qwen2.5-Coder, or StarCoder2 for code completion, review, and agentic coding. 16–32 GB covers most code model sizes at Q4.

RTX 4060 Ti 16GB RTX 5080 RTX 5090

Maximum VRAM (405B / Fine-Tuning)

Flagship

Running the largest open models (LLaMA 3 405B, DeepSeek-V3 685B MoE) or fine-tuning with LoRA/QLoRA. 96 GB unified memory is the sweet spot.

Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 RTX 6000 PRO

Key Differences: NVIDIA vs AMD vs Intel for AI

Understanding the ecosystem trade-offs beyond raw specifications.

NVIDIA (CUDA)

The default choice for AI. CUDA has the widest ecosystem support — Ollama, vLLM, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and virtually every AI framework works out of the box. The RTX 5090 and RTX 6000 PRO represent the current performance ceiling for single-GPU inference. If you want guaranteed compatibility with any model or framework, NVIDIA is the safest bet.

AMD (ROCm)

AMD GPUs offer strong value with high VRAM-per-pound. The Radeon AI Pro R9700 delivers 32 GB for significantly less than NVIDIA equivalents. ROCm support has improved substantially — PyTorch, Ollama (via llama.cpp with ROCm), and vLLM all work. The RX 9070 XT is an excellent mid-range option with impressive bandwidth. Best for teams comfortable with a slightly less mature toolchain in exchange for better pricing.

Intel (Xe2 / oneAPI)

The Arc Pro B70 brings 32 GB of VRAM on Intel’s Xe2 architecture at a competitive price point. oneAPI and SYCL support is growing, and IPEX (Intel Extensions for PyTorch) enables many standard AI workflows. Still the newest entrant with the smallest ecosystem, but worth considering for VRAM-heavy workloads where NVIDIA pricing is prohibitive.

GPU Comparison — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about choosing a GPU for AI and compute workloads.

For most users, the RTX 5090 offers the best balance of VRAM (32 GB), bandwidth (1.79 TB/s), and compute (104.8 TFLOPS) at its price point. If you need more VRAM on a budget, the Radeon AI Pro R9700 gives you 32 GB at a lower cost, though with less bandwidth. For entry-level workloads, the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB is excellent value.
As a rough guide at Q4_K_M quantisation: 6 GB fits ~3–5B models, 8 GB fits 7B, 16 GB fits 13B, 24 GB fits 33B, 32 GB fits 70B at Q2, and 96 GB fits 70B at full Q4 or 405B at aggressive quantisation. Always check the specific model card on Hugging Face for precise VRAM requirements.
For autoregressive LLM inference (token-by-token generation), memory bandwidth is typically the bottleneck — it determines how quickly model weights can be read from VRAM each generation step. FP32 compute matters more for training, batch inference, and non-LLM workloads like image generation or scientific simulation.
Yes. Ollama uses llama.cpp under the hood, which supports ROCm for AMD GPUs. vLLM also has ROCm support. Both the RX 9070 XT and Radeon AI Pro R9700 work with these frameworks. PyTorch has native ROCm support as well. The ecosystem is less mature than CUDA but is improving rapidly.
The Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 is an APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) — it combines CPU and GPU on a single chip with 96 GB of unified LPDDR5X memory. This means the CPU and GPU share the same memory pool, which is useful for loading very large models that wouldn’t fit in a discrete GPU’s VRAM. The trade-off is lower memory bandwidth (256 GB/s vs 1,790 GB/s on the RTX 5090), so token generation speed will be slower, but it can load models that most discrete GPUs simply cannot fit.
