Can I run EXAONE 4.0 32B on Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB)?

Compatibility verdict VRAM threshold engine
Yes, it runs GPU accelerated ~65 tok/s est.

Yes. EXAONE 4.0 32B runs on Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB) at Q4_K_M (~20.2 GB of ~31 GB usable).

Needs ~20.2 GB Device usable ~31 GB

Runs at Q4_K_M using ~20.2 GB of ~31 GB usable.

That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes. Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB) leaves ~10.8 GB of headroom.

Pays for itself after
~15,377M tok

At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~65 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.37 in electricity. Versus a hosted API at ~$0.5 per million tokens, the ~$1,999 Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090 (32GB) pays for itself after roughly 15,377 million tokens, so local hardware is mostly a fixed cost, not a per-token one. TDP is the peak draw, so this is an upper bound. Assumptions.
