cognitivecomputations Dolphin Mistral 24B Venice Edition needs ~19.1 GB VRAM. RTX 5080 16GB has 16.0 GB. With NVFP4 quantization, expect ~26 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.
Current mode
Balanced
Balanced for general local use. Keeps the ranking neutral across personal and serving workflows.

Offload
20%
It fits through host-memory offload, and offload is the main reason performance drops.
CPU or host-memory offload is active
About 20% of the working set spills out of accelerator memory, which usually hurts latency and sustained decode throughput.
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.
Remove offload with more accelerator memory
Prioritize a GPU or unified-memory tier that fits the whole model natively. Removing offload usually helps more than small compute gains.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit
A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.
Increase host RAM if you keep offloading
This setup may need roughly 2.2 GB of extra host RAM just for the offloaded portion, before OS and other tools.

Yes, RTX 5080 16GB can run cognitivecomputations Dolphin Mistral 24B Venice Edition at NVFP4 quantization (Very compromised (needs ~2.2 GB host RAM)). The recommended Q4_K_M requires 20.3 GB which exceeds available memory, but at NVFP4 it needs only 19.1 GB. Expected decode speed: 26.1 tok/s.
cognitivecomputations Dolphin Mistral 24B Venice Edition (24B parameters) requires approximately 20.3 GB at Q4_K_M quantization. On RTX 5080 16GB, it fits at NVFP4 using 19.1 GB.
The recommended quantization is Q4_K_M, but on RTX 5080 16GB the best fitting quantization is NVFP4, which uses 19.1 GB.
On RTX 5080 16GB, cognitivecomputations Dolphin Mistral 24B Venice Edition achieves approximately 26.1 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 7415ms using NVFP4 quantization.
For coding workloads, cognitivecomputations Dolphin Mistral 24B Venice Edition on RTX 5080 16GB receives a F grade with 20.2 tok/s and 4K context.
On RTX 5080 16GB, cognitivecomputations Dolphin Mistral 24B Venice Edition can safely use up to 4K tokens of context at NVFP4 quantization. The model's official context limit is —, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Remove offload with more accelerator memory. Prioritize a GPU or unified-memory tier that fits the whole model natively. Removing offload usually helps more than small compute gains.
