FP16 yes 3517k 1061.8-1297.8 t/s ~7.1-8.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 3544k 2123.6-2595.5 t/s ~14.2-17.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 3556k 3792.1-4634.8 t/s ~25.3-30.9 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
