FAQ
Can the AMD RX 7800 XT run Ministral 3 8B?
Yes. The AMD RX 7800 XT's 16.0GB of VRAM is enough to run Ministral 3 8B at Q8_0 quantization (9.5GB required).
What's the best quantization to use?
Q8_0 is the highest-precision quantization that fits in your 16.0GB. It uses about 9.5GB of memory and 11.0GB recommended for comfortable inference.
What if I need more headroom for context length?
KV cache memory grows with context length. The numbers above assume a baseline 2K-4K context. For long-context use (32K+), add another 2-6GB depending on the model architecture.
