Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti run Pythia-160m?

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

Pythia-160m on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 197k 2044-2436 t/s ~91.3-108.8 (slow)
Q8 yes 199k 4088-4872 t/s ~182.5-217.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 200k 7300-8700 t/s ~325.9-388.4 (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 Pythia-160m?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~7300-8700 tok/s and fits up to 200k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~325.9-388.4 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.
