Can I run it?
Can I run Sharp Spark X2.5 4B on GeForce RTX 3080 10GB?
Runs great
Runs great fully on your GeForce RTX 3080 10GB at Q6_K, 8K context, about 87–118 tok/s. Weights 3.36 GB plus 0.33 GB of KV cache — 4.03 GB of 9.03 GB usable. Up to 128K context still fits.

Assumptions
- Estimate from memory bandwidth, not a benchmark. Decode speed uses 55–75% of peak bandwidth.
- KV cache is FP16. Engine overhead assumes llama.cpp (0.3 GB + 1% of the weights). Ollama is closer to 0.9 GB + 3%, LM Studio closer to 1 GB + 3%.
- Q6_K size is the real GGUF file size from Hugging Face.
- 0.5 GB is reserved because this GPU also drives a display, then 5% of the rest is left free.
- Speed is quoted at 8K context, not at the maximum context that still fits.
