Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run BART-IT?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

BART-IT on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 72k 292-348 t/s ~26.1-31.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 74k 584-696 t/s ~52.1-62.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 75k 1042.9-1242.9 t/s ~93.1-111 (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 GeForce RTX 2050 run BART-IT?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1042.9-1242.9 tok/s and fits up to 75k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~93.1-111 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 75k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
