Can I Run Cosmos 3 Super on AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT?
Autor: Jakub Rusinowski · Ostatnia aktualizacja: 29 września 2026
No. Cosmos 3 Super needs 131.1 GB at 8K context (128 GB weights + 3.1 GB KV cache/overhead) at BF16 and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT has only 16 GB. No quantization we publish closes a gap that size.

Cosmos 3 Super on the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT: VRAM by quantization

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 BF16 on the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT: 8K 131.1 GB ✗ · 16K 133.4 GB ✗. Past 8K it no longer fits 16 GB — a q8_0 KV cache buys roughly half of that back, which the calculator will price for you.
What to do next
Either step down to a smaller size in this family, or move to a Apple M2 Ultra (192 GB), the card with the least memory we track that holds it.
No compatible GPU? Cosmos 3 Super on 64 GB of system RAM, CPU only: runs comfortably.
