Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run GPT-Neo-125M?

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

GPT-Neo-125M on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 72k 327-389.8 t/s ~29.2-34.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 74k 654.1-779.5 t/s ~58.4-69.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 75k 1168-1392 t/s ~104.3-124.3 (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 GPT-Neo-125M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1168-1392 tok/s and fits up to 75k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~104.3-124.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 75k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
