Can AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE run FLUX.1 Dev?

12B parameter Image Gen model on 16GB GDDR6

Yes — runs at 8-bit quantization
~2.1-2.9 img/min
SpeedFast inference, near-native speed
QualityNear-lossless — virtually identical to FP16
FLUX.1 Dev works best with NVIDIA CUDA. Your AMD GPU may have limited or no support.

VRAM Requirements

FLUX.1 Dev is a 12B parameter model. At full precision (FP16), it requires 32GB of VRAM. Your AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE has 16GB, so you'll need to quantize it to 8-bit (Q8) to fit.

FP16 (Full Precision)32GB (need 16GB more)

Maximum quality, no quantization

Q8 (8-bit)16GB (0GB free)

Near-lossless, ~50% size reduction

Q4 (4-bit)10GB (6GB free)

Good quality, ~75% size reduction

Your GPU VRAM: 16GB GDDR6 at 576 GB/s bandwidth
Recommended system RAM: 32GB DDR5 (2x GPU VRAM minimum for model overflow)

What This Means in Practice

FLUX.1 Dev at 8-bit precision on AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE produces images virtually identical to full precision. Generation speed is fast and you'll have some VRAM headroom for larger batch sizes or higher resolutions.

How to Set It Up

Step 1: Install ComfyUI

git clone https://github.com/comfyanonymous/ComfyUI.git && cd ComfyUI && pip install -r requirements.txt

ComfyUI is the recommended UI for Stable Diffusion and FLUX models.

Step 2: Download the model

Download FLUX.1 Dev weights from HuggingFace and place them in ComfyUI/models/. The model is approximately 32GB at full precision.

Step 3: Launch and generate

python main.py

Open http://localhost:8188 in your browser. You can use the full precision weights.
