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 PRO 6000 Blackwell run Athene-V2?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~32.4-38.7 tok/s and fits up to 142k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~0.7-0.9 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 142k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
