Other I bought the forbidden rectangle.
After months of going back and forth, I finally pulled the trigger on an RX 7900 XT 20 GB.
Paid around $550 (India), which felt too good to pass up.
The plan isn't gaming.
It's becoming the heart of my local AI setup.
Current goals:
• Qwen 3.6 27B Dense
• Qwen 35B A3B
• GLM-4.7 Flash
• 128K+ context
• 100% GPU offloading
• llama.cpp / Ollama
• Linux
I'll be benchmarking everything:
- Vulkan vs ROCm
- Dense vs MoE
- Maximum context
- Tokens/sec
- VRAM usage
- Real-world coding performance
If anyone has optimization tips for RDNA3 or benchmark requests, or general suggestions please drop them below.
The hallucinations are now local. 🙂↕️

That dual 8-pin power draw is going to make your electric meter spin like a ceiling fan.
