QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 459k 124-147.8 t/s ~2.4-2.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 504k 248.1-295.7 t/s ~4.9-5.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 524k 443-528 t/s ~8.7-10.4 (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 SXM4 80GB run ChatGLM3-6B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~443-528 tok/s and fits up to 524k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~8.7-10.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 524k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
