How it’s rated

Quality 42Fair quality (C) · 42 of 100: how capable the model is at F16, whatever it runs on. Match score 63/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at F16, 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 great: How well it runs on the NVIDIA RTX A4500: 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.

Model qualityEditorial quality tier of the model, scaled by the quantization or precision used.	18.9 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.	25.0 / 25
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.	15.0 / 15
Memory useRewards using the memory you have, so a bigger, better variant beats a tiny one that leaves most memory idle.	5.0 / 15
Match score	63.9 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Quick answers

How much memory does MiniCPM-OCR 1.0 1.3B need on the NVIDIA RTX A4500 20GB?

At F16 it needs about 4.3 GB. The NVIDIA RTX A4500 20GB has 20.0 GB usable.

How fast is MiniCPM-OCR 1.0 1.3B on the NVIDIA RTX A4500 20GB?

About 142 tok/s at F16, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of MiniCPM-OCR 1.0 1.3B should I use on the NVIDIA RTX A4500 20GB?

F16. 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.
