// RUN โ€” FITS

Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run CLIP (ViT L/14@336px)?

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

CLIP (ViT L/14@336px) on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 190k 438.9-544.9 t/s ~31.4-38.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 196k 877.8-1089.7 t/s ~62.7-77.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 199k 1567.6-1945.9 t/s ~112-139 (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 CLIP (ViT L/14@336px)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1567.6-1945.9 tok/s and fits up to 199k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~112-139 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 199k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
