Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 run TinyLlama-1.1B (3T token checkpoint)?

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

TinyLlama-1.1B (3T token checkpoint) on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 168k 244.2-291.1 t/s ~13.3-15.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 185k 488.4-582.1 t/s ~26.5-31.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 192k 872.2-1039.5 t/s ~47.4-56.5 (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 TinyLlama-1.1B (3T token checkpoint)?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~872.2-1039.5 tok/s and fits up to 192k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~47.4-56.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 192k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
