What GPU do you need to run Gemma 4 31B?
A new Radeon RX 7900 XTX ($1,350). It is the cheapest priced graphics card that holds Gemma 4 31B (about 19.8 GB at Q4) with room for about 40K tokens of context (90K with 8-bit KV cache), at about 40 tok/s estimate; that is the card price only, and it requires a separate compatible PC. 54 of the 157 GPUs and systems we track fit it.
31.27B parameters (Hugging Face, accessed 2026-10-16). Q4_K_M GGUF: 18.32 GB (source). Architecture config (Hugging Face config.json): 10 global attention layers × 4 KV heads × 512 head dim, plus 50 sliding-window layers (1024-token window), so about 80 KB of FP16 KV cache per token of context (how we estimate context).

Measured on Macs with MLX (community)
MLX (measured, community): decode speeds people ran with MLX through oMLX and submitted to its public leaderboard. They are kept apart from this site's llama.cpp-style estimate, which is for a GGUF file in llama.cpp and is unchanged. The plain figure has no speculative decoding, at the shortest context the run used; runs with speculative decoding (MTP/DFlash) are shown separately, as a range, because their speed depends on how many drafted tokens are accepted, which varies with the prompt.

Long context: decode at the shortest and longest context of one run, and that run's prompt-processing (prefill) range. Agent jobs re-read long prompts, so prefill (prompt processing) speed matters as much as decode there. Community-submitted to oMLX, accessed 2026-10-26; each figure links its run(s). MLX 4-bit files, not the GGUF the estimate uses. About the MLX data
Speed calculator
estimateEstimate = bandwidth ÷ GB read per token (the model's listed GGUF file: Q4_K_M for most models, otherwise the quant named in the list; scaled by active/total parameters for MoE), scaled by a per-platform efficiency and fixed per-token costs calibrated to 45 measured llama.cpp benchmarks (2025–26). Fit = file size + 1.5 GB headroom ≤ total VRAM (on Macs, the part of unified memory macOS lets the GPU use by default), and room for at least 4K tokens of context with an 8-bit KV cache. For a model with no KV cache data, only the file and headroom are checked, so a fit says nothing about context. Multi-GPU: VRAM adds, speed stays one card's (a layer split runs the cards in turn); max context uses the total. Speed is for short context. Max context = what is left after the file and a 1 GB runtime reserve ÷ KV cache bytes per token, default FP16 and 8-bit (q8_0) cache. How speed works · how context works
