Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB run GTE-ModernColBERT-v1?

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

GTE-ModernColBERT-v1 on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 197k 705.5-840.8 t/s ~98-116.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 199k 1411-1681.6 t/s ~196-233.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 200k 2519.7-3002.9 t/s ~350-417.1 (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 4060 Ti 16GB run GTE-ModernColBERT-v1?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2519.7-3002.9 tok/s and fits up to 200k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~350-417.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 200k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
