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 4080 run Apriel Nemotron 15B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~64-76.2 tok/s and fits up to 18k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.5-4.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 18k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
