Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run GBERT-Large?

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

GBERT-Large on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 191k 484.8-601.8 t/s ~34.6-43 (slow)
Q8 yes 197k 969.6-1203.6 t/s ~69.3-86 (slow)
Q4 yes 199k 1731.3-2149.3 t/s ~123.7-153.5 (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.

FAQ

Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run GBERT-Large?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1731.3-2149.3 tok/s and fits up to 199k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~123.7-153.5 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.
