Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti run Novae?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Novae on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 313k | 11497.5-13702.5 t/s | ~456.3-543.8 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 314k | 22995-27405 t/s | ~912.5-1087.5 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 314k | 41062.5-48937.5 t/s | ~1629.5-1942 (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 3090 Ti run Novae?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~41062.5-48937.5 tok/s and fits up to 314k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1629.5-1942 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 314k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
