Can Arc B570 10GB run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B?
Intel · 10 GB GDDR6 · 380 GB/s bandwidth ·
DeepSeek · 14.8B · model ctx up to 128K
No — DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-14B at Q4 needs ≈ 10.62 GB even at 4K context, beyond the Arc B570 10GB's 10 GB GDDR6. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 31.9 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 33.56 GB — does not fit on this card. Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured
anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s
means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
