FP16 yes 6022k 11250-13750 t/s ~19.3-23.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 6032k 22500-27500 t/s ~38.6-47.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 6036k 40178.6-49107.1 t/s ~69-84.3 (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.
