Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 run Minitron 4B?

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

Minitron 4B on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 74k 83.4-99.4 t/s ~3.5-4.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 138k 166.9-198.9 t/s ~7-8.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 166k 298-355.1 t/s ~12.4-14.8 (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 Minitron 4B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~298-355.1 tok/s and fits up to 166k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~12.4-14.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 166k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
