Can RX 7600 XT 16GB run gemma-3-1b-it?

AMD · 16 GB GDDR6 · 288 GB/s bandwidth · Google · 1.0B · model ctx up to 32K

Yes — the RX 7600 XT 16GB (16 GB GDDR6) can run gemma-3-1b-it. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 1.75 GB VRAM (weights 0.55 GB + KV cache 0.2 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 16 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 183.3 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 3.2 GB) also fits, at ≈ 50.4 tok/s (estimated). 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	1.65 GB	Yes	183.3 est.
Q4	8K default	1.75 GB	Yes	183.3 est.
Q4	32K	2.35 GB	Yes	183.3 est.
FP16	4K	3.1 GB	Yes	50.4 est.
FP16	8K default	3.2 GB	Yes	50.4 est.
FP16	32K	3.8 GB	Yes	50.4 est.

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).
