Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run CARP?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
CARP on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 57k | 63.6-75.8 t/s | ~5.7-6.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 66k | 127.2-151.5 t/s | ~11.4-13.5 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 71k | 227.1-270.6 t/s | ~20.3-24.2 (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 CARP?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~227.1-270.6 tok/s and fits up to 71k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~20.3-24.2 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 71k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
