Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti run Phi-2?

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

Phi-2 on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 119k 121.1-144.4 t/s ~5.4-6.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 161k 242.3-288.7 t/s ~10.8-12.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 179k 432.6-515.6 t/s ~19.3-23 (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 Phi-2?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~432.6-515.6 tok/s and fits up to 179k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~19.3-23 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 179k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
