Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB run minChatGPT?

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

minChatGPT on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 39k 99.8-118.9 t/s ~8.9-10.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 64k 199.5-237.8 t/s ~17.8-21.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 75k 356.3-424.6 t/s ~31.8-37.9 (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 8GB run minChatGPT?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~356.3-424.6 tok/s and fits up to 75k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~31.8-37.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 75k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
