Can the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB run Aria?

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

Aria on the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 85k 28.4-33.8 t/s ~0.6-0.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 180k 56.7-67.6 t/s ~1.2-1.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 222k 101.3-120.7 t/s ~2.1-2.5 (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 NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB run Aria?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~101.3-120.7 tok/s and fits up to 222k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.1-2.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 222k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
