QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 469k 1283-1547.2 t/s ~42.8-51.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 470k 2566-3094.3 t/s ~85.5-103.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 471k 4582.2-5525.6 t/s ~152.7-184.2 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
