QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1262k 225.8-276 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 1386k 451.7-552 t/s ~0.8-0.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 1441k 806.5-985.8 t/s ~1.4-1.7 (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.
