Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 run ProGen2-base?

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

ProGen2-base on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 66k 214-255.1 t/s ~19.1-22.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 78k 428.1-510.2 t/s ~38.2-45.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 83k 764.4-911 t/s ~68.2-81.3 (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 run ProGen2-base?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~764.4-911 tok/s and fits up to 83k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~68.2-81.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 83k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
