Can RX 7900 GRE 16GB run Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506?
AMD · 16 GB GDDR6 · 576 GB/s bandwidth ·
Mistral · 24.0B · model ctx up to 128K
No — Mistral-Small-3.2-24B-Instruct-2506 at Q4 needs ≈ 16.6 GB even at 4K context, beyond the RX 7900 GRE 16GB's 16 GB GDDR6. It would only run with heavy CPU/disk offload. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 30.9 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 53.8 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.

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).
