Can the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB run Viking?

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

Viking on the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 23k 21.4-25.5 t/s ~0.4-0.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 149k 42.8-51 t/s ~0.9-1.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 205k 76.4-91.1 t/s ~1.6-1.9 (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 Viking?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~76.4-91.1 tok/s and fits up to 205k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.6-1.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 205k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
