|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | โ | โ | โ |
| Q8 | no | โ | โ | โ |
| Q4 | yes | 7k | 20-23.9 t/s | ~1.8-2.1 (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 Codestral Mamba?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~20-23.9 tok/s and fits up to 7k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~1.8-2.1 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 7k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
