Can the NVIDIA L40S 48GB run Ovis1.6-Gemma2-9B?

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

Ovis1.6-Gemma2-9B on the NVIDIA L40S 48GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 136k 30.9-36.8 t/s ~1.4-1.7 (slow)
Q8 yes 198k 61.8-73.7 t/s ~2.9-3.4 (slow)
Q4 yes 226k 110.4-131.6 t/s ~5.1-6.1 (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 L40S 48GB run Ovis1.6-Gemma2-9B?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~110.4-131.6 tok/s and fits up to 226k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~5.1-6.1 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 226k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
