I'm running an 8 bit quant right now, mostly for speed as memory bandwidth is the limiting factor and 8 bit quants generally lose very little compared to the full res, but also to save RAM.
I'm still working on tweaking the settings; I'm hitting OOM fairly often right now, it turns out that the sliding window attention context is huge and llama.cpp wants to keep lots of context snapshots.
