Frequently asked

Can RTX 4090 run Qwen2.5-7B?
Yes. Qwen2.5-7B needs ≈ 17.5 GB VRAM at fp16 and RTX 4090 provides 24 GB. Expected throughput is 100 tokens/sec per GPU.
How much VRAM does Qwen2.5-7B use?
About 17.5 GB at fp16, 5.5 GB at INT4 (for a 4K context, batch size 1). Longer contexts add to KV cache size; larger batches increase activations.
What's the fastest way to run Qwen2.5-7B on RTX 4090?
Use a production inference engine like vLLM, SGLang, or TensorRT-LLM with paged attention — they cut KV cache 2–3× vs the naive estimate and batch multiple requests efficiently. For RTX 4090, enable Flash Attention 2.
Where can I rent a RTX 4090?
