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

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

Reason-ModernColBERT on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 197k 700.8-835.2 t/s ~97.3-116 (slow)
Q8 yes 199k 1401.6-1670.4 t/s ~194.7-232 (slow)
Q4 yes 200k 2502.9-2982.9 t/s ~347.6-414.3 (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 Reason-ModernColBERT?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2502.9-2982.9 tok/s and fits up to 200k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~347.6-414.3 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.
