Q: How fast is DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super?

~3.6–5.5 tok/s (active-expert estimate) on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Super. computed roofline: 192 GB/s × 0.48–0.72 efficiency window / 25.3GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points. MoE: file is 168.9GB (that decides fit) but only ~82.8B of experts activate per token (~25.3GB streamed) — band below is the active-expert estimate, optimistic; community MoE rows run several× the naive bandwidth math
