Can the Intel Arc B580 12GB run Ovis2.5 2B?

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

Ovis2.5 2B on the Intel Arc B580 12GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 85k 66.1-82.1 t/s ~5.8-7.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 115k 132.2-164.2 t/s ~11.6-14.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 128k 236.1-293.1 t/s ~20.7-25.7 (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 Ovis2.5 2B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~236.1-293.1 tok/s and fits up to 128k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~20.7-25.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 128k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
