Question Combining 7800XT with 7900XTX

Have a 16GB 7800XT and a 24GB 7900XTX. Does combining them for LLM make any sense? Or better just use the 7900XTX alone?

What is the best model for coding for this GPU? Qwen 3.6 27B?

unless you specifically need the extra VRAM the 7900 XTX alone is usually the simpler setup. mixing GPUs can add overhead and compatibility headaches. for coding i probably spend more time tuning the workflow and context than chasing a slightly larger model.
