Can the NVIDIA GB10 (128 GB) run BGE Reranker v2 Gemma?

78Great quality (A) · 78 of 100: how capable the model is at F16, whatever it runs on. Match score 90/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Yes, it runs great

Runs great. At F16 it needs about 14.9 GB of 115 GB usable and makes one decision in about 94 ms.

Best app to run it on the NVIDIA GB10 (128 GB)

On Linux

llama.cpp

Command line + local API · runs on llama.cpp

  • Serves the GGUF build behind a /v1/rerank endpoint with llama-server --rerank.
llama-server -hf mradermacher/bge-reranker-v2-gemma-GGUF:F16 --rerank
  • vLLM Serves the scoring head directly (rerank, classify or reward) with batching.
  • Sentence Transformers A few lines of Python with Transformers or Sentence Transformers; easiest for scripts and notebooks.

How we choose: the files published for this model, your operating system and GPU, whether it fits fully in memory, and published speed tests (MLX vs llama.cpp on Apple silicon, vLLM vs llama.cpp vs Ollama on NVIDIA). Details.

How it’s rated

Quality 78Great quality (A) · 78 of 100: how capable the model is at F16, whatever it runs on. Match score 90/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at F16, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: S 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Runs great
How well it runs on the NVIDIA GB10 (128 GB): speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

PrecisionEditorial precision tier from the model’s published benchmarks, scaled by the quantization or precision used.35.1 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when the model fits in the share of unified memory the GPU can use; fewer when it goes past that limit.25.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.15.0 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.15.0 / 15
Match score90.1 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Other hardware that runs it

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
