Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 run Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B)?

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

Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B) on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 155k 174.4-207.9 t/s ~9.5-11.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 178k 348.9-415.8 t/s ~19-22.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 189k 623-742.5 t/s ~33.9-40.4 (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 Qwen2.5-Coder (1.5B)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~623-742.5 tok/s and fits up to 189k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~33.9-40.4 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 189k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
