Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 run NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-12B-v2?

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

Q8 yes 7k 58.4-69.6 t/s ~2.4-2.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 40k 104.3-124.3 t/s ~4.3-5.2 (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 NVIDIA-Nemotron-Nano-12B-v2?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~104.3-124.3 tok/s and fits up to 40k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.3-5.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 40k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
