How much VRAM does the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE have?

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE has 16 GB of GDDR6 with 576 GB/s memory bandwidth.

What is the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE best for?

With 16 GB of VRAM, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE handles smaller models (7B–14B) at Q4–Q5 quantization, ideal for entry-level local LLM experimentation and lightweight inference.

What LLMs can the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE run locally?

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE can run 49 of the 110 open-weight models tracked by CanItRun natively in VRAM at 8k context. Top options include: Qwen 3.8 27B at Q3_K_M, Ornith 1.5 35B-A3B (MoE) at Q2_K, Ornith 1.5 9B at Q8_0.

Can the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE run Gemma 4 31B?

Yes. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE runs Gemma 4 31B natively in VRAM at Q2_K quantization, achieving approximately 33.7 tokens per second.

Can the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE run Qwen 3.6 27B?

Yes. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE runs Qwen 3.6 27B natively in VRAM at Q3_K_M quantization, achieving approximately 32.8 tokens per second.

Can the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE run Qwen3 8B?

Yes. The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE runs Qwen3 8B natively in VRAM at Q8_0 quantization, achieving approximately 46.9 tokens per second.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE

The AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE has 16 GB VRAM and 576 GB/s memory bandwidth. It can run 49 of our 110 tracked models natively in VRAM at 8k context.

With 16 GB GDDR6, the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE is a consumer-tier GPU that can run 49 models natively.

AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE: 2023 RDNA 3 with 16GB GDDR6 at 576 GB/s, a China/OEM-focused trim slotted between the RX 7900 XT and the RX 7800 XT.

7B-14B models fit natively at Q4. 27B models are tight or need CPU offload. ~7-11 t/s for 7B Q4.

ROCm Linux support with llama.cpp compiled for AMD. Windows users should use the Vulkan backend. Same 16GB-class model compatibility as the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB.
