Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 run SEA-LION V1 3B?

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

SEA-LION V1 3B on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 110k 89.5-106.7 t/s ~4.9-5.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 156k 179.1-213.4 t/s ~9.7-11.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 176k 319.8-381.1 t/s ~17.4-20.7 (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 SEA-LION V1 3B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~319.8-381.1 tok/s and fits up to 176k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~17.4-20.7 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 176k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
