Can RX 7700 XT 12GB run gemma-4-E2B-it?

AMD · 12 GB GDDR6 · 432 GB/s bandwidth · Google · 5.1B · model ctx up to 128K

Yes — the RX 7700 XT 12GB (12 GB GDDR6) can run gemma-4-E2B-it. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 4.83 GB VRAM (weights 2.81 GB + KV cache 1.02 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 12 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 53.9 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 12.22 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	4.32 GB	Yes	53.9 est.
Q4	8K default	4.83 GB	Yes	53.9 est.
Q4	32K	7.88 GB	Yes	53.9 est.
FP16	4K	11.71 GB	No	44.5 est.
FP16	8K default	12.22 GB	No	40.8 est.
FP16	32K	15.28 GB	No	26.1 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).
