can it run

Can the GTX 965M run WHISPER base?

OFFLOAD PARTIAL

2.3 GB vs 2 GB usable — partial CPU offload, expect large speed loss

2GB · Maxwell (laptop) · model file 0.3GB · base

~75–130 tok/s

computed roofline: 80.19 GB/s × 0.28–0.50 efficiency window / 0.3GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.

Run WHISPER base on instead
