Best GPUs for 30B-class local LLMs

We treat '30B-class' as open-weight models with 20–45B parameters — 13 in our catalog. The table ranks every catalog GPU that fully fits at least one of them at Q4 / 8K context, by average estimated decode tok/s across the models it fits. Fit means weights + KV cache + 1 GB runtime overhead within 95% of VRAM — not weights alone. Methodology.

Averages mix estimated rows with measured anchors where they exist — per-model labels live on each hardware page. MSRP is launch list price, not live retail — Amazon prices change; click a Buy link for the current price. GPUs that fit none of this class are omitted.
