Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050 run SimpleFold?
Yes โ here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
SimpleFold on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2050
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | no | โ | โ | โ |
| Q8 | yes | 31k | 27.3-32.5 t/s | ~2.4-2.9 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 51k | 48.7-58 t/s | ~4.3-5.2 (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 SimpleFold?โถ
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~48.7-58 tok/s and fits up to 51k context; beyond that it spills to SSD swap and slows to ~4.3-5.2 tok/s.
How much context fits?โถ
At Q4, up to about 51k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to SSD swap and throughput collapses.
