Can the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 run VILA1.5-13B?

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

VILA1.5-13B on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 6k 48.5-57.8 t/s ~1.1-1.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 88k 96.9-115.5 t/s ~2.2-2.6 (slow)
Q4 yes 124k 173.1-206.3 t/s ~3.9-4.6 (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 5090 run VILA1.5-13B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~173.1-206.3 tok/s and fits up to 124k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.9-4.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 124k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
