AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT 16GB

The RX 7800 XT offers 16 GB of GDDR6 memory. Its candidate Qwen3.5-9B Q8 profile uses the same pinned artifact as several other 16 GB cards, making a future matched comparison possible. The card still needs its own driver, free-memory observation and completed-output evidence; equal memory labels do not establish equal speed.

For a desktop used for both display and inference, record what else occupies GPU memory before testing the 32K catalog context. A different quantization may trade file size against response quality, so compare representative tasks rather than only download size. The larger Qwen3.8-27B profile is a separate experiment, not an established alternative on this card.
