Phi-4 Mini on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 86k 27.7-33 t/s ~3.8-4.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 144k 55.3-65.9 t/s ~7.7-9.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 169k 98.8-117.7 t/s ~13.7-16.4 (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 4060 Ti 16GB run Phi-4 Mini?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~98.8-117.7 tok/s and fits up to 169k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~13.7-16.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 169k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
