- Best GPU for Local LLM Inference (2026): VRAM-per-Dollar Guide
The GPU decision for local LLM inference is set by VRAM (does the model fit) and memory bandwidth (how fast it decodes), not raw FLOPS. A constraint-first, VRAM-per-dollar guide: used RTX 3090 vs RTX 4090 vs RTX 3060, multi-GPU reality, and when to switch to Apple Silicon.
