Can RX 7900 XTX 24GB run gemma-4-12b-it?

AMD · 24 GB GDDR6 · 960 GB/s bandwidth · Google · 11.95B · model ctx up to 256K

Yes — the RX 7900 XTX 24GB (24 GB GDDR6) can run gemma-4-12b-it. At Q4 with the default 8K context it needs ≈ 9.96 GB VRAM (weights 6.57 GB + KV cache 2.39 GB + 1 GB runtime overhead), which fits within 24 GB. Decode at Q4/8K: ≈ 51.1 tok/s (estimated, batch 1). FP16 needs ≈ 27.29 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	8.77 GB	Yes	51.1 est.
Q4	8K default	9.96 GB	Yes	51.1 est.
Q4	32K	17.13 GB	Yes	51.1 est.
FP16	4K	26.09 GB	No	34.0 est.
FP16	8K default	27.29 GB	No	31.1 est.
FP16	32K	34.46 GB	No	19.5 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).
