Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run Granite 3.0 8B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~71.6-88.9 tok/s and fits up to 66k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.1-6.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 66k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
