Can the RTX 2000 Ada run Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2?
Yes. Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 fits the RTX 2000 Ada's 16 GB at Q4_K_M (about 5.8 GB needed), running at an estimated 37 tok/s. There's room for up to FP16 if you want higher quality.

| Quant | Weights | Needs | Fit | Est. speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q4_K_M | 4 GB | 5.8 GB | Fits easily | ~37 tok/s |
| Q5_K_M | 5 GB | 6.8 GB | Fits easily | ~29 tok/s |
| Q8_0 | 8 GB | 9.8 GB | Fits | ~18 tok/s |
| FP16 | 14 GB | 15.8 GB | Tight | ~11 tok/s |
Estimates. Needs = weights + 1.8 GB for KV cache and runtime at modest context. Speed is single-stream decode scaled from the RTX 2000 Ada's 256 GB/s bandwidth (Estimated from memory bandwidth (llama.cpp decode)). Long contexts need more memory and run slower.

Frequently asked
Quick answers
Can the RTX 2000 Ada Generation run Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2?
Yes. Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 fits the RTX 2000 Ada's 16 GB at Q4_K_M (about 5.8 GB needed), running at an estimated 37 tok/s. There's room for up to FP16 if you want higher quality.
How much VRAM does Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 need?
About 4 GB of weights at Q4_K_M, 8 GB at Q8_0 and 14 GB at FP16. Add roughly 1.8 GB for the KV cache and runtime at modest context lengths.
How fast is Mistral-7B-Instruct-v0.2 on the RTX 2000 Ada?
Roughly 37 tokens per second at Q4_K_M (single user, llama.cpp-style decode). This is an estimate from the RTX 2000 Ada's 256 GB/s memory bandwidth.
