FP16 yes 76k 16352-19488 t/s ~1460-1740 (slow)
Q8 yes 76k 32704-38976 t/s ~2920-3480 (slow)
Q4 yes 76k 58400-69600 t/s ~5214.3-6214.3 (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 KataGo?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~58400-69600 tok/s and fits up to 76k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~5214.3-6214.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 76k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
