FP16 no
Q8 no
Q4 yes 33k 41.4-51.4 t/s ~3-3.7 (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 Xinyuan (心元大模型)?

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~41.4-51.4 tok/s and fits up to 33k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3-3.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?

At Q4, up to about 33k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
