Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti run BART-large?

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

BART-large on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 133k 819.3-976.4 t/s ~35.9-42.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 139k 1638.6-1952.9 t/s ~71.9-85.7 (slow)
Q4 yes 142k 2926.1-3487.3 t/s ~128.3-153 (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 Ti run BART-large?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2926.1-3487.3 tok/s and fits up to 142k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~128.3-153 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 142k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
