Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti run GTE-ModernColBERT-v1?

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

GTE-ModernColBERT-v1 on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 197k 2194.9-2615.8 t/s ~98-116.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 199k 4389.8-5231.7 t/s ~196-233.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 200k 7838.9-9342.3 t/s ~350-417.1 (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 5070 Ti run GTE-ModernColBERT-v1?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~7838.9-9342.3 tok/s and fits up to 200k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~350-417.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 200k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
