Can I Run InternLM 3 20B Instruct on AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT?
作者： Jakub Rusinowski · 最后更新： 2026年9月19日
Yes. InternLM 3 20B Instruct needs 12.1 GB at Q4_K_M and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT has 16 GB, leaving about 3.9 GB of headroom, at roughly 31 tok/s (estimated) with room for up to 8K of context.

Assumes a 4K-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 XT: 8K 14.5 GB · 32K 19.2 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.
What to do next
Nothing to change — run it at Q4_K_M. If you want more capability, check whether the next size up also fits.
