Can the NVIDIA B200 run KataGo?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
KataGo on the NVIDIA B200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 2672k | 1168000-1392000 t/s | ~5840-6960 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 2672k | 2336000-2784000 t/s | ~11680-13920 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 2672k | 4171428.6-4971428.6 t/s | ~20857.1-24857.1 (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 KataGo?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~4171428.6-4971428.6 tok/s and fits up to 2672k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~20857.1-24857.1 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 2672k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
