ProtGPT2 on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 179k 220.1-273.2 t/s ~15.7-19.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 190k 440.1-546.3 t/s ~31.4-39 (slow)
Q4 yes 195k 785.9-975.6 t/s ~56.1-69.7 (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 ProtGPT2?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~785.9-975.6 tok/s and fits up to 195k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~56.1-69.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 195k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
