Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M?

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

LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 66k 116.8-139.2 t/s ~10.4-12.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 71k 233.6-278.4 t/s ~20.9-24.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 73k 417.1-497.1 t/s ~37.2-44.4 (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 LFM2.5-ColBERT-350M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~417.1-497.1 tok/s and fits up to 73k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~37.2-44.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 73k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
