Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 run InstructBLIP?

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

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 InstructBLIP?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~73.8-88 tok/s and fits up to 36k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4-4.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 36k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
