FP16 yes 313k 10676.3-12723.8 t/s ~456.3-543.8 (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 3090 run Novae?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~38129.5-45442 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?โ–ถ

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.
