How it’s rated

Quality 42Fair quality (C) · 42 of 100: how capable the model is at Q3_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 72/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q3_K_M, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Runs welltight fit
How well it runs on the NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU: speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Quick answers

How much memory does InternVL2.5 8B need on the NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU 6GB?

At Q3_K_M it needs about 5.9 GB. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU 6GB has 6.0 GB usable.

How fast is InternVL2.5 8B on the NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU 6GB?

About 66.0 tok/s at Q3_K_M, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of InternVL2.5 8B should I use on the NVIDIA RTX PRO 500 Blackwell Generation Laptop GPU 6GB?

Q3_K_M. Of the versions that fit, it is the one that runs best; when two run equally well, the check prefers the higher-rated one.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
