QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 651k 107.1-130.1 t/s ~1.1-1.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 725k 214.1-260.2 t/s ~2.1-2.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 758k 382.3-464.7 t/s ~3.8-4.6 (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.
