QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 877k 162.5-197.5 t/s ~1.6-2 (slow)
Q8 yes 938k 325-395 t/s ~3.3-4 (slow)
Q4 yes 965k 580.4-705.4 t/s ~5.8-7.1 (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.
