From the filePredictedwhat these mean

Speed is modeled, not measured: decode is memory-bandwidth bound, so tokens per second is bytes read per token against achievable bandwidth. Mixture-of-experts models carry a wider band because only the routed experts are read each step, and few have been measured publicly.

Aggregated from community-submitted runs, so the spread is wide by nature — it covers different models, resolutions, step counts and settings, not one controlled configuration. Read the middle 50% rather than the median alone.

Questions people ask

What AI models can a Radeon RX 7900 XT run?
1954 of 2118 indexed open-weight models fit a Radeon RX 7900 XT at 8,192 context with q4_0 KV cache, the largest being Qwen3-42B-A3B-2507-Thinking-Abliterated-uncensored-TOTAL-RECALL-v2-Medium-MASTER-CODER at I1-IQ3_M. That covers text, vision-language, image, video and speech models.
How much usable memory does a Radeon RX 7900 XT actually have?
Its nameplate is 20 GB, but about 18.60 GiB is available to a model once driver and compositor overhead is accounted for.
Is a Radeon RX 7900 XT fast for local AI?
Its memory bandwidth is 800 GB/s, and that figure — not teraflops — is what governs token generation speed. Capacity decides what you can run; bandwidth decides how fast it runs.
