| Quant | Weights | Needs | Fit | Est. speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | 20 GB | 21.8 GB | Fits | ~51 tok/s |
| Q5_K_M | 24 GB | 25.8 GB | Fits | ~43 tok/s |
| Q8_0 | 37 GB | 38.8 GB | Too big | - |
| FP16 | 69 GB | 70.8 GB | Too big | - |
Estimates. Needs = weights + 1.8 GB for KV cache and runtime at modest context. Speed is single-stream decode scaled from the RTX 5090's 1792 GB/s bandwidth (Estimated from memory bandwidth (llama.cpp decode)). Long contexts need more memory and run slower.
