Pros & Cons
Pros
- 48GB usable VRAM: handles large models
- Ampere architecture: broad CUDA software support
- Workstation card with display outputs and active cooling
- 48GB on one GPU avoids multi-GPU model sharding
- Workstation card with display outputs and ECC-capable memory
Cons
- Moderate memory bandwidth: not the fastest for inference
- 300W TDP: high power draw
- High purchase price relative to used multi-GPU options
- Slower than newer flagship cards when a model already fits in 24GB
Community Verdict
- r/LocalLLaMA
Only realistic single-GPU option for 70B Q4 models. 48GB VRAM in a workstation form factor.
