Frequently Asked Questions: Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B Instruct on 2x NVIDIA RTX 3090 Dual Rig (48GB Total VRAM)
How much VRAM does Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B Instruct need on 2x NVIDIA RTX 3090 Dual Rig (48GB Total VRAM)?
At standard 4-bit quantization (Q4_K_M) with 32K context, Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B Instruct requires 7.11 GB of total VRAM (weights + KV cache + CUDA runtime overhead).
What inference speed will Qwen 2.5 Coder 7B Instruct achieve on 2x NVIDIA RTX 3090 Dual Rig (48GB Total VRAM)?
Based on 2x NVIDIA RTX 3090 Dual Rig (48GB Total VRAM)'s 1648 GB/s memory bandwidth, expected decode speed is approximately 213 tokens per second.
Can I expand context beyond 32K tokens?
Each additional 32K tokens of context requires additional KV cache memory. For longer context windows, consider 8-bit or 4-bit KV cache quantization.
