How it’s rated

Quality 40Fair quality (C) · 40 of 100: how capable the model is at Q8_0, whatever it runs on. Match score 73/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.
How capable the model itself is at Q8_0, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs Runs great
How well it runs on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080: speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Quick answers

How much memory does DeepSeek Prover V2 7B need on the RTX 5080 16GB?

At Q8_0 it needs about 12.8 GB. The RTX 5080 16GB has 16.0 GB usable.

How fast is DeepSeek Prover V2 7B on the RTX 5080 16GB?

About 86.8 tok/s at Q8_0, an estimate from the hardware’s memory bandwidth and the size of the model.

Which quantization of DeepSeek Prover V2 7B should I use on the RTX 5080 16GB?

Q8_0. Of the versions that fit, it is the one that runs best; when two run equally well, the check prefers the higher-rated one.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
