Can RX 7600 8GB run gemma-3-27b-it?

AMD · 8 GB GDDR6 · 288 GB/s bandwidth · Google · 27.4B · model ctx up to 128K

No — gemma-3-27b-it at Q4 needs ≈ 18.79 GB even at 4K context, beyond the RX 7600 8GB's 8 GB GDDR6. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 2.7 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 61.24 GB — does not fit on this card. Estimates come from memory-bandwidth math; rows tagged measured override estimates. Relative ranking is more reliable than absolute tok/s. Methodology.

Fit & speed by quant and context

Quant	Context	VRAM needed	Fits?	tok/s (decode)
Q4	4K	18.79 GB	No	3.5 est.
Q4	8K default	21.51 GB	No	2.7 est.
Q4	32K	37.83 GB	No	—
FP16	4K	58.52 GB	No	—
FP16	8K default	61.24 GB	No	—
FP16	32K	77.56 GB	No	—

Fits = weights + KV(ctx) + 1 GB overhead ≤ 95% of VRAM. Measured anchors are context-agnostic; the fit verdict is recomputed per context. A missing tok/s means the model is far beyond this card (offload-only territory).
