Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB run mBART-50?

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

mBART-50 on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 99k 454.8-542 t/s ~23.9-28.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 108k 909.5-1083.9 t/s ~47.9-57 (slow)
Q4 yes 112k 1624.1-1935.6 t/s ~85.5-101.9 (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 3080 10GB run mBART-50?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1624.1-1935.6 tok/s and fits up to 112k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~85.5-101.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 112k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
