Can RTX A6000 48GB run NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-NVFP4?
NVIDIA · 48 GB GDDR6 · 768 GB/s bandwidth ·
NVIDIA · 550.0B (active 55.0B) · MoE · model ctx up to 256K
No — NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Ultra-550B-A55B-NVFP4 at Q4 needs ≈ 309.0 GB even at 4K context, beyond the RTX A6000 48GB's 48 GB GDDR6. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. FP16 needs ≈ 1112.0 GB — does not fit on this card. Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s.

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured
anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s
means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
