Can I Run GPT-OSS 20B on AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT?
作者： Jakub Rusinowski · 最后更新： 2026年9月19日
Yes. GPT-OSS 20B needs 11.1 GB at MXFP4 and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT has 16 GB, leaving about 4.9 GB of headroom, at roughly 122 tok/s (estimated) with room for up to 64K of context.

GPT-OSS 20B on the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT: VRAM by quantization

Assumes a 4K-token context with an f16 KV cache. 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 MXFP4 on the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT: 8K 12.3 GB · 32K 13.5 GB · 128K 18.3 GB ✗. Past 128K 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
Nothing to change — run it at MXFP4. If you want more capability, check whether the next size up also fits.
