Spec-Drafter on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 74k 443.8-529 t/s ~29.2-34.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 82k 887.7-1057.9 t/s ~58.4-69.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 85k 1585.1-1889.1 t/s ~104.3-124.3 (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 Spec-Drafter?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1585.1-1889.1 tok/s and fits up to 85k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~104.3-124.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 85k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
