Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti run mBART-50?

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

mBART-50 on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 71k 363.8-433.6 t/s ~23.9-28.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 80k 727.6-867.1 t/s ~47.9-57 (slow)
Q4 yes 84k 1299.3-1548.5 t/s ~85.5-101.9 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti run mBART-50?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1299.3-1548.5 tok/s and fits up to 84k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~85.5-101.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 84k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
