Can the NVIDIA B200 run DeepSeek-V2.5?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
DeepSeek-V2.5 on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | — | — | — |
| Q8 | no | — | — | — |
| Q4 | yes | 82k | 44.2-52.7 t/s | ~0.2-0.3 (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.
FAQ
Can the NVIDIA B200 run DeepSeek-V2.5?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~44.2-52.7 tok/s and fits up to 82k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.2-0.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 82k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
