Consumer RTX 4090 GPU achieves 100 T/s for LLM inference

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A community project has demonstrated that a consumer-grade RTX 4090 GPU can achieve 100 trillion tokens per second when running the Qwen 3.8 Flash Next large language model. This feat was accomplished through aggressive int4 quantization, a speculative decoding pipeline using a smaller drafter model, and a fused inference stack optimized with TensorRT-LLM. The achievement significantly lowers the cost of running large LLMs, making them more accessible to researchers and power users, and challenges Nvidia's marketing of its high-end H100 GPUs for data-center-only performance. AI

IMPACT Significantly lowers the cost of LLM inference, democratizing access to large models for researchers and power users.
