Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB run Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL)?

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

Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL) on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 98k 30.9-36.8 t/s ~4.3-5.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 150k 61.8-73.7 t/s ~8.6-10.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 173k 110.4-131.6 t/s ~15.3-18.3 (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 Stable Diffusion XL (SDXL)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~110.4-131.6 tok/s and fits up to 173k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~15.3-18.3 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 173k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
