Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run Kosmos-2?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Kosmos-2 on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 27k | 25.6-30.5 t/s | ~2.3-2.7 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 52k | 51.1-60.9 t/s | ~4.6-5.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 63k | 91.3-108.8 t/s | ~8.1-9.7 (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 Kosmos-2?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~91.3-108.8 tok/s and fits up to 63k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~8.1-9.7 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 63k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
