Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB run StableLM-2-1.6B?

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

StableLM-2-1.6B on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 16GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 152k 99.4-118.5 t/s ~8.9-10.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 177k 198.9-237 t/s ~17.8-21.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 188k 355.1-423.3 t/s ~31.7-37.8 (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 5060 Ti 16GB run StableLM-2-1.6B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~355.1-423.3 tok/s and fits up to 188k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~31.7-37.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 188k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
