Can the NVIDIA H200 run Qwen2.5-3B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
Qwen2.5-3B on the NVIDIA H200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 1862k | 567-675.7 t/s | ~4.7-5.6 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 1909k | 1134-1351.5 t/s | ~9.4-11.3 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 1930k | 2025-2413.3 t/s | ~16.9-20.1 (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 Qwen2.5-3B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~2025-2413.3 tok/s and fits up to 1930k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~16.9-20.1 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 1930k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
