What LLMs can an RX 7900 XTX run?

An RX 7900 XTX gives a model 24 GB of memory and 960 GB/s of bandwidth. Of the 40 open models tracked here, 18 fit at Q4_K_M with an 8,192-token context.

Models that fit on one RX 7900 XTX

The most precise weights that still fit with 8K tokens of context and one request, the memory that takes, the longest context at that precision and the writing speed. Bigger models come first.

Too big for one card

How many RX 7900 XTX cards these need at Q4_K_M in one tensor-parallel group; some need more than 8.

How these numbers are worked out

Memory is the weights at each precision plus the KV cache for 8,192 tokens in FP16 and runtime overhead (0.5 GB plus 10%), computed from each model's files on Hugging Face with the LLM VRAM Calculator. Speed is estimated from memory bandwidth and the parameters read per token with the LLM Speed Calculator. Both tools take any other model from Hugging Face.
