Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 run OpenELM-270M?

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

OpenELM-270M on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 193k 995-1185.8 t/s ~54.1-64.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 198k 1989.9-2371.6 t/s ~108.1-128.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 199k 3553.4-4234.9 t/s ~193.1-230.2 (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 4080 run OpenELM-270M?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~3553.4-4234.9 tok/s and fits up to 199k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~193.1-230.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 199k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
