Can RX 7900 XT run GLM 5.3 Flash?

Fits with RAM offload

RX 7900 XT (20 GB) × GLM 5.3 Flash. Shopper file is UD-Q4_K_XL at 256K. Calculator verdict: fits with ram offload. llama.cpp first (Vulkan, then HIP). Q3 is a labeled estimate, not a house pick. Measured decode appears only where a local desktop card already exists. We do not invent a price.

Full requirements at 256K

How we test — Measured cells cite official amdai-bench/run@1 cards. Estimates stay labeled. Q3 is estimate-only. Q1/Q2 stay off.

Q6 / Q5 / Q4 plus a Q3 estimate

Weights are official GGUF listings when the model page has them. Totals include KV at f16. 1-GPU and 2-GPU columns use the same calculator as this share URL.
