Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run GLIDE?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

Q8 yes 23k 23.4-27.8 t/s ~2.1-2.5 (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 GLIDE?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~41.7-49.7 tok/s and fits up to 46k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~3.7-4.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 46k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
