Cheapest graphics card for each memory size

For each VRAM size, the desktop graphics card with the lowest US street price. Cards with only a launch MSRP are left out, since that is not what they sell for today.

How to read this list

• Memory: VRAM for graphics cards. A model runs at full speed only when it fits there. Any part that spills into system RAM slows a dense model down sharply.
• Memory bandwidth: how fast the chip reads its memory. Generating text reads the model’s weights over and over, so for a model that fits, bandwidth sets most of the speed.
• Price: the US street price with the date we checked it, or the launch MSRP when we have no recent street price. Macs and laptop GPUs only come inside a whole computer, and CPU setups are a mix of parts, so they have no price here. Other unified-memory PCs show the launch price of a complete system and the memory size it comes with.
• Runs great · well: how many of the 58 catalog models get Runs great, and how many Runs well, at Q4_K_M (or the closest quant) with 8k context. Graphics cards assume 32 GB of system RAM. Macs, other unified-memory PCs and CPU setups use their largest memory option, shown in brackets.
