Can the NVIDIA RTX A400 run Prometheus 2 7B?

68Good quality (B) · 68 of 100: how capable the model is at Q8_0, whatever it runs on. Match score 44/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Barely: it runs very slowly (heavy RAM offload)

Very slow (heavy RAM offload). At Q8_0 it needs about 8.7 GB of 4.0 GB usable and makes one decision in about 29.8 s.

How it’s rated

Quality 68Good quality (B) · 68 of 100: how capable the model is at Q8_0, whatever it runs on. Match score 44/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q8_0, 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 Very slowheavy RAM offload
How well it runs on the NVIDIA RTX A400: 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.

PrecisionEditorial precision tier from the model’s published benchmarks, scaled by the quantization or precision used.30.6 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.4.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.0.9 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.9.0 / 15
Match score44.5 / 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 Prometheus 2 7B need on the NVIDIA RTX A400 4GB?

At Q8_0 it needs about 8.7 GB. The NVIDIA RTX A400 4GB has 4.0 GB usable.

How fast is Prometheus 2 7B on the NVIDIA RTX A400 4GB?

It makes one decision in about 29.8 s at Q8_0, an estimate from the hardware and the size of the model.

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.
