Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run CodeT5-base?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
CodeT5-base on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 70k | 185.8-221.5 t/s | ~16.6-19.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 73k | 371.6-442.9 t/s | ~33.2-39.5 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 74k | 663.6-790.9 t/s | ~59.3-70.6 (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 CodeT5-base?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~663.6-790.9 tok/s and fits up to 74k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~59.3-70.6 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 74k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
