Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run Qwen2.5-VL-3B?

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

Qwen2.5-VL-3B on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 110k 54.1-67.2 t/s ~3.9-4.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 156k 108.3-134.4 t/s ~7.7-9.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 176k 193.3-240 t/s ~13.8-17.1 (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 Qwen2.5-VL-3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~193.3-240 tok/s and fits up to 176k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~13.8-17.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 176k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
