Can the NVIDIA L40S 48GB run DeepSeek Coder 33B?

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

DeepSeek Coder 33B on the NVIDIA L40S 48GB

Q8 yes 37k 19.1-22.8 t/s ~0.9-1.1 (slow)
Q4 yes 92k 34.1-40.7 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 L40S 48GB run DeepSeek Coder 33B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~34.1-40.7 tok/s and fits up to 92k 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?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 92k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
