Can B200 192GB SXM run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B?

NVIDIA · 192 GB HBM3e · 8000 GB/s bandwidth · DeepSeek · 70.6B · model ctx up to 128K

Yes — the B200 192GB SXM (192 GB HBM3e) can run DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama-70B. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 53.95 GB VRAM (weights 38.83 GB + KV cache 14.12 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 192 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 72.1 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 156.32 GB) also fits, at ≈ 19.8 tok/s (estimated). Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	46.89 GB	Yes	72.1 est.
Q4	8K default	53.95 GB	Yes	72.1 est.
Q4	32K	96.31 GB	Yes	72.1 est.
FP16	4K	149.26 GB	Yes	19.8 est.
FP16	8K default	156.32 GB	Yes	19.8 est.
FP16	32K	198.68 GB	No	52.9 est.

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).
