AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT for local LLMs
Written by Jakub Rusinowski · Last updated
With 16 GB of GDDR6 at 288 GB/s, the RX 7600 XT runs 74 catalogued models at Q4_K_M with 8K context. The largest that fits is OLMo 2 13B Instruct (~15.8 GB), and the top pick is GPT-OSS 20B at 38–78 tok/s.
16 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, but only 288 GB/s: it holds 14B-class models that a 12 GB card cannot, and runs them slowly.

Frequently asked questions
Can the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT run local LLMs?
Yes. With 16 GB (16 GB usable by a model) it runs 74 of the catalogued models at Q4_K_M with 8K context; the largest is OLMo 2 13B Instruct, needing about 15.8 GB.
How fast is the AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT for AI inference?
It is estimated to run Llama 3.1 8B at 20–42 tok/s at Q4_K_M. Llama 3.3 70B does not fit: it needs about 44 GB against 16 GB usable. These are modelled estimates from memory bandwidth, not measurements; the methodology page shows the formula.
What LLMs can I run on 16 GB?
Among the best that fit: GPT-OSS 20B, Cosmos 3 Nano, StarCoder 2 15B, Qwen 3 14B, Phi-4 (14B).
