This GPU offers reliable throughput for local AI workloads. Pair it with the right model quantization to hit your desired tokens/sec, and monitor prices below to catch the best deal.
Quick Answer: RTX 5080 has 16GB VRAM, enough for models up to roughly 40B parameters at 4-bit quantization. It draws 360W under load.
With 16GB VRAM, RTX 5080 can run models up to approximately 40B parameters using 4-bit quantization. That covers 13B-34B comfortably; 70B-class models only fit with heavy offloading, at much lower throughput.
Consider RTX 4090 — Double the VRAM for larger models.
