Compatibility Check
Can I Run StarCoder2 15B on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650?
Sort of — NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 can run StarCoder2 15B (Q8_0) only by spilling layers to RAM. Generation will be slow.
Estimated ~3 tokens/sec on the Q8_0 quantization.
Hybrid CPU+GPU
Best variant: Q8_0
CPU + GPU hybrid — not enough VRAM (4 GB < 17.5 GB min), but 64 GB RAM is sufficient. Expect significantly slower inference.
