Can I Run Devstral on AMD Radeon RX 9070?
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated September 11, 2026
Yes, but it's tight — Devstral 2 22B at Q4_K_M needs 15.7 GB at 8K context (13.3 GB weights + 2.4 GB KV cache/overhead), leaving ~0.3 GB of the AMD Radeon RX 9070's 16 GB, at ~29 tok/s (est.), with room for up to 8K context.

Assumes an 8K-token context with an f16 KV cache, on an estimated architecture — this model publishes no config we can read. A longer window needs more; a quantized KV cache needs less. “Max context” is the largest window that still fits in 16 GB. Figures are estimates from parameter count, quantization and memory bandwidth — the analyzer lets you tune KV-cache quant and context.
Context costs VRAM too. At Q4_K_M on the AMD Radeon RX 9070: 8K 15.7 GB · 32K 20.5 GB ✗ · 125K 39.2 GB ✗. Past 32K it no longer fits 16 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
No compatible GPU? Devstral 2 22B on 16 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs, but it is tight.
