Official

gfx1102, 8 GB. Listed on the 10.1 compatibility matrix.

Cited support row: ROCm 10.1.0 compatibility matrix and Linux system requirements. We do not invent a support claim past that listing. AMD product page: RX 7600.

HSA_OVERRIDE: Not needed when the build lists gfx1102.

Shopper verdict at 4K, then follow the pair page for 32K and full context. Q4 and up. No printed prices.

What fits in VRAM

Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on llama.cpp, f16 KV, one GPU. Q6 / Q5 / Q4 rows are calculator estimates. UD-Q3_K_XL is a labeled estimate (Hugging Face listing for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q3_K_XL.gguf (16.8 GB)) — not a local desktop run. Speed stays not measured. Change quant or context in the calculator.

Weights notes: Q6_K — Estimate: total_params × 6.56 bpw (nominal GGUF Q6_K; UD-Q6_K_XL uses the same bucket) / 8. Active params do not shrink the file. Q5_K_M — Hugging Face listing for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q5_K_XL.gguf (26.6 GB). Converted 26.6 × 10⁹ bytes → GiB. Not measured VRAM. Q4_K_M — Estimate: total_params × 4.85 bpw (nominal GGUF Q4_K_M) / 8. Active params do not shrink the file. UD-Q3_K_XL — Hugging Face listing for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-Q3_K_XL.gguf (16.8 GB). Converted 16.8 × 10⁹ bytes → GiB. Not measured VRAM.

System RAM

Minimum system RAM needed and RAM needed at full context for Qwen3.6-35B-A3B on llama.cpp at Q4_K_M, 32K selected and the model’s full context. Estimate until a first-party amdai-bench/run@1 card exists for this SKU. Rounded up to a real DIMM kit.

llama.cpp-first stack

1. Step 1

   llama.cpp first

   Vulkan is the consumer default on this site. HIP when rocminfo lists gfx1102. Official on the cited ROCm 10.1 gfx1102 row — not Vulkan-only. Ollama and vLLM are not the house path for this card.

2. Step 2

   gfx1102 family package

   gfx1102 needs the gfx110x ROCm family package, same LLVM target as the 16 GB RX 7600 XT. Do not mix a gfx1101 (7800 / 7700 XT) or gfx1201 (R9700 / 9070 XT) install. Re-check the cited matrix before you install.

3. Step 3

   8 GB, not the 16 GB XT

   This sheet sizes the 8 GB non-XT 7600. House 35B Q4–Q6 files do not fit this VRAM — expect RAM offload or a lighter listed Q3 file, both estimates. The 16 GB RX 7600 XT is a different listing at /gpus/rx-7600-xt. Size the file on the calculator before you download.

4. Step 4

   Setup, then Stack Lab doctor

   First-run setup is Ubuntu. Open Stack Lab doctor for the gfx110x install family. House daily and Flash profiles are R9700 / local desktop — they do not apply to this 8 GB card. Packages are not published yet.

Compare with…

Head-to-head pages use the same VRAM, bandwidth, and calculator fit already on the sheets. Q3 is a labeled estimate. No invented prices. RX 7600 against the other published sheets:
