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 L40S 48GB run Aria?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~45.2-53.9 tok/s and fits up to 110k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~2.1-2.5 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 110k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
