Can the NVIDIA B200 run Emu2?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Emu2 on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 386k | 78.9-94.1 t/s | ~0.4-0.5 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 527k | 157.8-188.1 t/s | ~0.8-0.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 589k | 281.9-335.9 t/s | ~1.4-1.7 (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.
FAQ
Can the NVIDIA B200 run Emu2?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~281.9-335.9 tok/s and fits up to 589k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.4-1.7 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 589k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
