Local LLM
Evaluation - Top tier
With 24GB of VRAM, this is the top tier, able to run models up to the 27–32B class.
As a rule of thumb, (quantized) 8B models such as Gemma, Qwen, Llama, and DeepSeek need 8 GB of VRAM, 22B models need 16 GB, and 32B models need 24 GB. At the same VRAM capacity, newer generations also run faster. The field moves fast, so this is a quick check of where Radeon RX 7900 XTX's VRAM stands.
AI Image Generation
Evaluation - Top tier
With 24GB of VRAM, this is the top tier, capable of running even the latest 20B-class models.
As a rule of thumb, (quantized) 2–6B models such as Krea, Flux, SDXL, Pony, Anima, and Illustrious need 8 GB of VRAM, 12B models need 16 GB, and 20B models need 24 GB. At the same VRAM capacity, newer generations also run faster. The field moves fast, so this is a quick check of where Radeon RX 7900 XTX's VRAM stands.
Note: many tools in this field assume CUDA, so non-NVIDIA GPUs face extra hurdles to get running.
AI Video Generation
Evaluation - Comfortable tier
With 24GB of VRAM, this is the comfortable tier, handling higher resolutions and longer clips.
As a rule of thumb, (quantized) models such as Wan, LTX, and Hunyuan need at least 16 GB of VRAM for practical use. At the same VRAM capacity, newer generations also run faster. The field moves fast, so this is a quick check of where Radeon RX 7900 XTX's VRAM stands.
Note: many tools in this field assume CUDA, so non-NVIDIA GPUs face extra hurdles to get running.
