can it run

Can the NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X run mixtral 8x7B MoE?

OFFLOAD PARTIAL

26.5 GB vs 22 GB usable — partial CPU offload, expect large speed loss

~22GB usable · NVIDIA RTX Spark N1X (Grace + Blackwell RTX) · model file 26GB · 8x7B MoE

~18–46 tok/s (active-expert estimate)

computed roofline: 273 GB/s × 0.25–0.65 efficiency window / 3.9GB (Q4_K_M) — bands, never points.

MoE: file is 26GB (that decides fit) but only ~1.05B of experts activate per token (~3.9GB streamed) — band below is the active-expert estimate, optimistic; community MoE rows run several× the naive bandwidth math
