Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti run OpenELM-3B?

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

OpenELM-3B on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 221k 121-144.2 t/s ~4.8-5.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 268k 242.1-288.5 t/s ~9.6-11.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 288k 432.2-515.1 t/s ~17.2-20.4 (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 OpenELM-3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~432.2-515.1 tok/s and fits up to 288k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~17.2-20.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 288k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
