QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 2268k 604.4-738.7 t/s ~1-1.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 2343k 1208.8-1477.4 t/s ~2.1-2.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 2375k 2158.5-2638.2 t/s ~3.7-4.5 (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.
