FP16 yes 88k 6935-8265 t/s ~456.3-543.8 (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 Novae?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~24767.9-29517.9 tok/s and fits up to 89k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1629.5-1942 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 89k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
