Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 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 Ti

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 127k 545.7-650.4 t/s ~23.9-28.5 (slow)
Q8 yes 136k 1091.4-1300.7 t/s ~47.9-57 (slow)
Q4 yes 140k 1948.9-2322.7 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 Ti run mBART-50?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~1948.9-2322.7 tok/s and fits up to 140k 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 140k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
