What LLMs can the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER run?

43 of 62 rostered models have a usable on-device fit. The table keeps all 62 visible, including 1 below-context fits and 18 that exceed this device, so “not listed” never masquerades as an answer.

Every model, solved on this accelerator

Usable rows fit weights plus at least 4k tokens, capped at the model’s own trained window. Tight rows hold weights but fall below that floor. The speed column is a memory-bandwidth ceiling, not a benchmark.

Device specification and assumption

Memory
16 GB GDDR6X
Bandwidth
736 GB/s
Bus
256-bit × 23 Gbps
Usable budget
92% → 14.7 GiB

Capacity and bandwidth come from the vendor specification. The usable fraction is an explicit planning assumption, not a device specification.

What the table does — and does not — claim

Weight sizes use published checkpoint or GGUF files where the roster has one, otherwise the documented bits-per-weight calculation. Context comes from each model’s layer and KV-head geometry. The decode figure is the card’s peak bandwidth divided by the bytes one token reads — the weights it routes through plus one pass over the KV cache, printed under each ceiling — so it is a roofline bound, not measured application throughput. Multi-GPU splitting and host-memory offload are outside this on-device table.

Questions about this card

What LLMs can the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER run?

43 of the 62 open models in this roster have an on-device configuration with usable context. The largest by exact parameter count is Qwen3 30B-A3B at Q3_K_M, with room for 11k tokens. “Largest” describes parameter count, not model quality or task performance.

How much memory is usable on the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER?

The device publishes 16 GB of GDDR6X. This calculator budgets 92%, or 14.7 GiB, for model weights and KV cache; the remainder is an explicit allowance for the runtime, driver or operating system, workspace, and display. It is an assumption rather than a vendor specification.

Are the speed figures benchmarks for the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER?

No. They are bandwidth-bound roofline ceilings: 736 GB/s divided by the bytes one decoded token actually reads, which the table prints beside every ceiling. That is not the size of the file on disk — a token reads the weights it routes through, all of them for a dense model but only the selected experts for a mixture-of-experts, plus one pass over the KV cache. Laguna XS 2.1 holds 14.5 GiB resident at Q3_K_M yet reads 1.3 GiB/token, which is what produces its 514 tok/s. Real throughput is lower because kernels, cache traffic, prompt processing, scheduling, and runtime overhead also consume time.
