Qwen2-VL-2B on the GMKtec EVO-X3

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1674k 41.6-50.6 t/s ~1.6-2 (slow)
Q8 yes 1704k 83.2-101.1 t/s ~3.3-4 (slow)
Q4 yes 1718k 148.6-180.6 t/s ~5.8-7.1 (slow)

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