Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 run GLIDE?

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

GLIDE on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 39k 52.6-62.6 t/s ~4.2-5 (slow)
Q8 yes 92k 105.1-125.3 t/s ~8.3-9.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 116k 187.7-223.7 t/s ~14.9-17.8 (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 4070 run GLIDE?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~187.7-223.7 tok/s and fits up to 116k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~14.9-17.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 116k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
