Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 run GPT-Neo-125M?

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

GPT-Neo-125M on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 86k 1308.2-1559 t/s ~116.8-139.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 88k 2616.3-3118.1 t/s ~233.6-278.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 88k 4672-5568 t/s ~417.1-497.1 (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 run GPT-Neo-125M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~4672-5568 tok/s and fits up to 88k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~417.1-497.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 88k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
