Novae on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 88k 5110-6090 t/s ~456.3-543.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 89k 10220-12180 t/s ~912.5-1087.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 89k 18250-21750 t/s ~1629.5-1942 (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 Novae?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~18250-21750 tok/s and fits up to 89k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1629.5-1942 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 89k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
