QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 69k 132.8-158.3 t/s ~5.8-6.9 (slow)
Q8 yes 107k 265.6-316.6 t/s ~11.7-13.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 124k 474.3-565.3 t/s ~20.8-24.8 (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 Gemma 2B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~474.3-565.3 tok/s and fits up to 124k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~20.8-24.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 124k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
