Can the GMKtec EVO-X3 run GPT-2 (774M)?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
GPT-2 (774M) on the GMKtec EVO-X3
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1711k | 107.5-130.6 t/s | ~4.2-5.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1723k | 215-261.3 t/s | ~8.4-10.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1728k | 383.9-466.6 t/s | ~15-18.2 (slow) |
Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.
FAQ
Can the GMKtec EVO-X3 run GPT-2 (774M)?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~383.9-466.6 tok/s and fits up to 1728k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~15-18.2 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 1728k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
