Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB run TinyLlama-1.1B (1T token checkpoint)?

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

TinyLlama-1.1B (1T token checkpoint) on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 10GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 84k 252.2-300.5 t/s ~13.3-15.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 101k 504.4-601.1 t/s ~26.5-31.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 108k 900.6-1073.4 t/s ~47.4-56.5 (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 TinyLlama-1.1B (1T token checkpoint)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~900.6-1073.4 tok/s and fits up to 108k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~47.4-56.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 108k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
