| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1734k | 9171.9-11060.3 t/s | ~168-202.6 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1735k | 18343.9-22120.6 t/s | ~336-405.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1735k | 32756.9-39501 t/s | ~599.9-723.5 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
