Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 run Stable Cascade?

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

Stable Cascade on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 135k 127.8-152.3 t/s ~2.9-3.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 174k 255.5-304.5 t/s ~5.7-6.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 191k 456.3-543.8 t/s ~10.2-12.1 (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 5090 run Stable Cascade?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~456.3-543.8 tok/s and fits up to 191k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~10.2-12.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 191k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
