Can the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell run WildGuard 7B?

80Great quality (A) · 80 of 100: how capable the model is at Q8_0, whatever it runs on. Match score 88/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, it runs great

Runs great. At Q8_0 it needs about 13.4 GB of 96.0 GB usable and makes one decision in about 84 ms.

Best app to run it on the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell

On Windows

vLLM

Inference server · runs on vLLM

  • The full model fits in GPU memory at 8-bit, so it can batch many requests: best for serving a team or an app.
  • On Windows it runs through WSL2.
vllm serve allenai/wildguard
  • SGLang The full model fits in GPU memory at 8-bit, so it can batch many requests: best for serving a team or an app.
  • Sentence Transformers A few lines of Python with Transformers or Sentence Transformers; easiest for scripts and notebooks.

How it’s rated

Quality 80Great quality (A) · 80 of 100: how capable the model is at Q8_0, whatever it runs on. Match score 88/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q8_0, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: S 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Runs great
How well it runs on the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell: speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

PrecisionEditorial precision tier from the model’s published benchmarks, scaled by the quantization or precision used.36.0 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.25.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.15.0 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.12.0 / 15
Match score88.0 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Times are for one request with a 512-token input and about 6 tokens written. Batching servers process many requests at once.

Other hardware that runs it

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
