Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run Engine-Base (NE)?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Engine-Base (NE) on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 73k | 329.7-392.9 t/s | ~29.4-35.1 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 74k | 659.4-785.8 t/s | ~58.9-70.2 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 75k | 1177.4-1403.2 t/s | ~105.1-125.3 (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 Engine-Base (NE)?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1177.4-1403.2 tok/s and fits up to 75k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~105.1-125.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 75k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
