What the NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B numbers mean

The fastest result on our board is 286.8 output tok/s on an RTX 5090 at Q4_K_M with a 2048-token context. That is about 3.5 ms per generated token — 500 tokens takes roughly 1.7 seconds. Prompt processing on the same record runs at 1114.5 tok/s, so a 2,000-token prompt is read in about 1.8 seconds.

How much VRAM does NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B need?

NVIDIA-Nemotron-3-Nano-30B-A3B has 32.0B parameters. These estimates use the same formula as the VRAM calculator: weights, plus about 15% for a moderate-context KV cache and runtime overhead, plus a small engine floor.

QuantisationEstimated VRAMSmallest card that fits
Q4_K_M (4-bit)21.5 GB32 GB
Q8_0 (8-bit)39.9 GB48 GB
FP16 (16-bit)74.4 GB96 GB

Long contexts and large batches raise the real number — read the smallest card as "possible with a reduced context". Measured throughput is on the benchmark board.
