// RUN — FITS

Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B)?

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

Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B) on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 29k 26.5-31.6 t/s ~2.4-2.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 53k 53.1-63.3 t/s ~4.7-5.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 63k 94.8-113 t/s ~8.5-10.1 (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 Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B)?▶

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~94.8-113 tok/s and fits up to 63k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~8.5-10.1 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.
