Can the NVIDIA H200 run Gemma 3 QAT 1B?

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

Gemma 3 QAT 1B on the NVIDIA H200

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1926k 1752-2088 t/s ~14.6-17.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 1941k 3504-4176 t/s ~29.2-34.8 (slow)
Q4 yes 1948k 6257.1-7457.1 t/s ~52.1-62.1 (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 H200 run Gemma 3 QAT 1B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~6257.1-7457.1 tok/s and fits up to 1948k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~52.1-62.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 1948k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
