NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (Workstation Edition) for local LLMs
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated
With 32 GB of GDDR7 at 896 GB/s, the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (Workstation Edition) runs 110 catalogued models at Q4_K_M with 8K context. The largest that fits is Gemma 3 27B Instruct (~25.4 GB), and the top pick is Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B at 92–190 tok/s.
32 GB of GDDR7 with ECC on a 256-bit bus: 896 GB/s at 200 W, dual slot, 10,496 CUDA cores. This is the Workstation Edition. A passively cooled Server Edition is quoted at 800 GB/s and 165 W; it is a different record and is not listed until a second source confirms it.

Frequently asked questions
Can the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (Workstation Edition) run local LLMs?
Yes. With 32 GB (32 GB usable by a model) it runs 110 of the catalogued models at Q4_K_M with 8K context; the largest is Gemma 3 27B Instruct, needing about 25.4 GB.
How fast is the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (Workstation Edition) for AI inference?
It is estimated to run Llama 3.1 8B at 70–145 tok/s at Q4_K_M. Llama 3.3 70B does not fit: it needs about 44 GB against 32 GB usable. These are modelled estimates from memory bandwidth, not measurements; the methodology page shows the formula.
What LLMs can I run on 32 GB?
Among the best that fit: Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B, Nex-N2.5 mini, Nex-N2 mini, Qwen 3.5 35B-A3B, Laguna XS 2.1 33B-A3B.
