Can the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB run NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2?

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

NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2 on the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 413k 78.5-93.5 t/s ~1.6-1.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 481k 157-187.1 t/s ~3.2-3.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 512k 280.3-334 t/s ~5.8-6.9 (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 NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-9B-v2?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~280.3-334 tok/s and fits up to 512k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.8-6.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 512k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
