Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB run Qwen2.5-1.5B?

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

Qwen2.5-1.5B on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 42k 68.3-81.4 t/s ~9.5-11.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 66k 136.5-162.7 t/s ~19-22.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 76k 243.8-290.5 t/s ~33.9-40.4 (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 8GB run Qwen2.5-1.5B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~243.8-290.5 tok/s and fits up to 76k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~33.9-40.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 76k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
