Spec-Drafter on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 186k 324.8-403.2 t/s ~23.2-28.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 194k 649.6-806.4 t/s ~46.4-57.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 197k 1160-1440 t/s ~82.9-102.9 (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.

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1160-1440 tok/s and fits up to 197k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~82.9-102.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 197k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
