Can the Intel Arc A770 16GB run Prometheus 2 8x7B?

71Great quality (A) · 71 of 100: how capable the model is at Q5_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 46/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.

Barely: it runs very slowly (heavy RAM offload)

Very slow (heavy RAM offload). At Q5_K_M it needs about 34.8 GB of 16.0 GB usable and makes one decision in about 19.7 s.

Best app to run it on the Intel Arc A770 16GB

On Windows

llama.cpp

Command line + local API · runs on llama.cpp

  • Splits the model between GPU memory and system RAM, which this setup needs.
  • Gives you direct control of how many layers sit on the GPU, the best way to squeeze a model that doesn’t quite fit.
  • Supports Intel Arc through SYCL and Vulkan.

How it’s rated

Quality 71Great quality (A) · 71 of 100: how capable the model is at Q5_K_M, whatever it runs on. Match score 46/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q5_K_M, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Very slowheavy RAM offload
How well it runs on the Intel Arc A770 16GB: 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.32.3 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.4.0 / 25
SpeedTime for one decision against a 100 ms target: reading the input plus any tokens the model writes.1.1 / 15
ClarityHow easy the answer is to use in code: a probability or score earns the most, written feedback before a score the least.9.0 / 15
Match score46.4 / 100

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

Times are for one request with a 1,024-token input and about 150 tokens written. Batching servers process many requests at once.

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.
