Prometheus 2 8x7B on NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X (6144-core GPU) (64 GB)

Can the NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X (6144-core GPU) (64 GB) run Prometheus 2 8x7B?

Barely: it runs very slowly

Very slow. At Q5_K_M it needs about 37.9 GB of 48.0 GB usable and makes one decision in about 7.5 s.

Best quant: Q5_K_M
Time per decision: 7.5 s
Decisions per second: 0.1/s
Input assumed: 1,024 tokens
Returns: Written feedback, then a score

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 68/100 (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 slow: How well it runs on the NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X (6144-core GPU) (64 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.	32.3 / 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.	1.7 / 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 score	68.0 / 100

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

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.
