QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 92k 76-94.3 t/s ~6.7-8.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 119k 152-188.7 t/s ~13.3-16.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 131k 271.4-336.9 t/s ~23.8-29.6 (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.
