Can RX 7900 XT 20GB run gemma-4-E2B-it?

AMD · 20 GB GDDR6 · 800 GB/s bandwidth · Google · 5.1B · model ctx up to 128K

Yes — the RX 7900 XT 20GB (20 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 20 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 99.8 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 (≈ 12.22 GB) also fits, at ≈ 27.5 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	4.32 GB	Yes	99.8 est.
Q4	8K default	4.83 GB	Yes	99.8 est.
Q4	32K	7.88 GB	Yes	99.8 est.
FP16	4K	11.71 GB	Yes	27.5 est.
FP16	8K default	12.22 GB	Yes	27.5 est.
FP16	32K	15.28 GB	Yes	27.5 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).
