FP16 yes 145k 52896-65664 t/s ~4640-5760 (slow)
Q8 yes 146k 105792-131328 t/s ~9280-11520 (slow)
Q4 yes 146k 188914.3-234514.3 t/s ~16571.4-20571.4 (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.
