Memory: RTX 5080 has 16 GB. gpt-oss 20B weights are about 13 GB in its native format (GGUF param count via llamabench.ai (OpenAI model card: 21B total, 3.6B active)). Arithmetic, not a measurement; long contexts need more. Check other quants in the VRAM calculator.

Speeds are decode (generation) tokens/sec as reported by each source; quant, engine and context differ, so small gaps are noise.
