WizardMath 7B needs ~7.9 GB VRAM. RTX 2070 8GB has 8.0 GB. With Q4_K_M quantization, expect ~63 tok/s.
Operating mode
Interactive favors responsiveness, while light API and scale-out lean harder on serving readiness. The fit stays the same, but the recommendation lens changes.

This setup is broadly balanced for this model.
Very little memory headroom
You can run the model, but there is not much room left for longer context, bigger batches, extra apps, or future model updates.
Older PCIe generation
PCIe 3.0 is workable, but it compounds the penalty when you offload heavily or try to scale across multiple cards.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit
A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.

Yes, RTX 2070 8GB can run WizardMath 7B with a A grade (Runs with offload). Expected decode speed: 63.0 tok/s.
WizardMath 7B (7B parameters) requires approximately 7.9 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for WizardMath 7B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On RTX 2070 8GB, WizardMath 7B achieves approximately 63.0 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 3075ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, WizardMath 7B on RTX 2070 8GB receives a A grade with 63.0 tok/s and 4K context.
On RTX 2070 8GB, WizardMath 7B can safely use up to 4K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 4K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit. A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.
