FP16 yes 1725k 297.4-354.5 t/s ~10.9-13 (slow)
Q8 yes 1730k 594.9-709 t/s ~21.8-26 (slow)
Q4 yes 1732k 1062.3-1266 t/s ~38.9-46.4 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to SSD swap and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the NVIDIA DGX Spark run German ELECTRA Large?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1062.3-1266 tok/s and fits up to 1732k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~38.9-46.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1732k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
