Can the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada 48GB run Pythia-410m?

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

Pythia-410m on the NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada 48GB

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 638k 854.6-1018.5 t/s ~35.6-42.4 (slow)
Q8 yes 645k 1709.3-2037.1 t/s ~71.2-84.9 (slow)
Q4 yes 647k 3052.3-3637.6 t/s ~127.2-151.6 (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 RTX 6000 Ada 48GB run Pythia-410m?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~3052.3-3637.6 tok/s and fits up to 647k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~127.2-151.6 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 647k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
