Can the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX run Pythia-160m?

Yes โ€” here's how fast and up to what context, with real measured numbers.

Pythia-160m on the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

QuantFits?Max contextSpeedBeyond context
FP16 yes 309k 1890-2310 t/s ~78.8-96.3 (slow)
Q8 yes 312k 3780-4620 t/s ~157.5-192.5 (slow)
Q4 yes 313k 6750-8250 t/s ~281.3-343.8 (slow)

Estimate (memory-bound). Beyond "max context" the KV cache spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and speed drops to the "beyond" figure.

FAQ

Can the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX run Pythia-160m?โ–ถ

Yes. At Q4 it generates ~6750-8250 tok/s and fits up to 313k context; beyond that it spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and slows to ~281.3-343.8 tok/s.

How much context fits?โ–ถ

At Q4, up to about 313k tokens stay in fast memory; longer context spills to system RAM offload (depends on your system RAM) and throughput collapses.
