Can the NVIDIA H100 PCIe 80GB run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B?

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

DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B on the NVIDIA H100 PCIe 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 259k 49.3-58.8 t/s ~1-1.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 350k 98.6-117.6 t/s ~2-2.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 389k 176.2-209.9 t/s ~3.5-4.2 (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 H100 PCIe 80GB run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~176.2-209.9 tok/s and fits up to 389k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.5-4.2 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 389k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
