Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run XVERSE-MoE-A4.2B?

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

XVERSE-MoE-A4.2B on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 74k 38.7-48 t/s ~2.8-3.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 138k 77.3-96 t/s ~5.5-6.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 166k 138.1-171.4 t/s ~9.9-12.2 (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 ~138.1-171.4 tok/s and fits up to 166k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~9.9-12.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 166k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
