QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 147k 137.8-164.2 t/s ~8.2-9.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 175k 275.6-328.4 t/s ~16.4-19.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 187k 492.1-586.5 t/s ~29.3-34.9 (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.
