Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run BLOOM-560M?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
BLOOM-560M on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 59k | 73-87 t/s | ~6.5-7.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 68k | 146-174 t/s | ~13-15.5 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 72k | 260.7-310.7 t/s | ~23.3-27.7 (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 BLOOM-560M?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~260.7-310.7 tok/s and fits up to 72k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~23.3-27.7 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 72k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
