Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run NASA SMD?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
NASA SMD on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond 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 NASA SMD?▶
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?▶
At Q4, up to about 75k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
