QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 1273k 384.8-458.5 t/s ~8.6-10.2 (slow)
Q8 yes 1299k 769.5-917.1 t/s ~17.2-20.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 1310k 1374.1-1637.6 t/s ~30.7-36.6 (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.
