Can the NVIDIA H100 PCIe 80GB run Llama 3.2 11B?

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

Llama 3.2 11B on the NVIDIA H100 PCIe 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 311k 68.9-82.1 t/s ~1.4-1.6 (slow)
Q8 yes 375k 137.7-164.2 t/s ~2.8-3.3 (slow)
Q4 yes 404k 246-293.1 t/s ~4.9-5.9 (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 Llama 3.2 11B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~246-293.1 tok/s and fits up to 404k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~4.9-5.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 404k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
