Can the NVIDIA H200 run QwQ-32B?
Yes — here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.
QwQ-32B on the NVIDIA H200
| Quant | Fits? | Max context | Speed | Beyond context |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FP16 | yes | 241k | 53.9-64.2 t/s | ~0.4-0.5 (slow) |
| Q8 | yes | 365k | 107.8-128.5 t/s | ~0.9-1.1 (slow) |
| Q4 | yes | 420k | 192.5-229.5 t/s | ~1.6-1.9 (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 H200 run QwQ-32B?▶
Yes. At Q4 it generates ~192.5-229.5 tok/s and fits up to 420k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~1.6-1.9 tok/s.
How much context fits?▶
At Q4, up to about 420k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
