FP16 yes 141k 887.5-1101.7 t/s ~77.9-96.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 143k 1775-2203.5 t/s ~155.7-193.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 144k 3169.7-3934.8 t/s ~278-345.2 (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.
