QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 148k 44.6-53.1 t/s ~0.9-1 (slow)
Q8 yes 211k 89.1-106.2 t/s ~1.7-2.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 239k 159.2-189.7 t/s ~3.1-3.7 (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.
