Can RTX 3080 10GB run Mistral-Small-4-119B-2603?

NVIDIA · 10 GB GDDR6X · 760 GB/s bandwidth · Mistral · 119.0B (active 6.5B) · MoE · model ctx up to 256K

No — Mistral-Small-4-119B-2603 at Q4 needs ≈ 67.1 GB even at 4K context, beyond the RTX 3080 10GB's 10 GB GDDR6X. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. FP16 needs ≈ 240.3 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.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	67.1 GB	No	—
Q4	8K default	67.75 GB	No	—
Q4	32K	71.65 GB	No	—
FP16	4K	239.65 GB	No	—
FP16	8K default	240.3 GB	No	—
FP16	32K	244.2 GB	No	—

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).
