Can the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB run DeepSeekMoE-16B?

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

DeepSeekMoE-16B on the NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 153k 76.4-91.1 t/s ~0.9-1.1 (slow)
Q8 yes 214k 152.8-182.2 t/s ~1.8-2.2 (slow)
Q4 yes 241k 272.9-325.3 t/s ~3.3-3.9 (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 SXM5 80GB run DeepSeekMoE-16B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~272.9-325.3 tok/s and fits up to 241k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~3.3-3.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 241k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
