Can the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB run Gemma 1.1 7B Instruct?

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

Gemma 1.1 7B Instruct on the NVIDIA A100 SXM4 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 420k 87.1-103.9 t/s ~1.7-2 (slow)
Q8 yes 485k 174.3-207.7 t/s ~3.4-4.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 514k 311.2-370.9 t/s ~6.1-7.3 (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.
