Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 run GPT-Neo-2.7B?

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

GPT-Neo-2.7B on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 63k 68.1-81.2 t/s ~5.4-6.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 104k 136.3-162.4 t/s ~10.8-12.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 122k 243.3-290 t/s ~19.3-23 (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 GPT-Neo-2.7B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~243.3-290 tok/s and fits up to 122k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~19.3-23 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 122k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
