Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 run DistilProtBert?

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

DistilProtBert on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 195k 1523.5-1815.7 t/s ~63.5-75.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 198k 3047-3631.3 t/s ~127-151.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 200k 5441-6484.5 t/s ~226.7-270.2 (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 5080 run DistilProtBert?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~5441-6484.5 tok/s and fits up to 200k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~226.7-270.2 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.
