Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run ProGen2-base?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
ProGen2-base on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 53k | 53.5-63.8 t/s | ~4.8-5.7 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 65k | 107-127.5 t/s | ~9.6-11.4 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 70k | 191.1-227.7 t/s | ~17.1-20.3 (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 ProGen2-base?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~191.1-227.7 tok/s and fits up to 70k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~17.1-20.3 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 70k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
