Can the Intel Arc B580 12GB run OPT-1.3B (finetuned on PTB)?

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

OPT-1.3B (finetuned on PTB) on the Intel Arc B580 12GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 106k 101.7-126.3 t/s ~8.9-11.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 126k 203.4-252.6 t/s ~17.8-22.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 134k 363.3-451 t/s ~31.9-39.6 (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.

FAQ

Can the Intel Arc B580 12GB run OPT-1.3B (finetuned on PTB)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~363.3-451 tok/s and fits up to 134k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~31.9-39.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 134k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
