Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run MiniCPM-1.2B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
MiniCPM-1.2B on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 38k | 32.8-39.1 t/s | ~2.9-3.5 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 57k | 65.5-78.1 t/s | ~5.9-7 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 66k | 117-139.5 t/s | ~10.4-12.5 (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 MiniCPM-1.2B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~117-139.5 tok/s and fits up to 66k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~10.4-12.5 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 66k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
