FAQ

Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 run Modello Italia 9B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~64.9-77.3 tok/s and fits up to 6k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.8-6.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 6k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
