Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 run Pythia-410m?

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

Pythia-410m on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 133k 598.2-713 t/s ~35.6-42.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 139k 1196.5-1426 t/s ~71.2-84.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 142k 2136.6-2546.3 t/s ~127.2-151.6 (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 run Pythia-410m?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2136.6-2546.3 tok/s and fits up to 142k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~127.2-151.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 142k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
