Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run CARP?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

CARP on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 182k 252.6-313.5 t/s ~18-22.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 192k 505.1-627.1 t/s ~36.1-44.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 196k 902-1119.8 t/s ~64.4-80 (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.

FAQ

Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run CARP?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~902-1119.8 tok/s and fits up to 196k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~64.4-80 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 196k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
