●From the file◐Predictedwhat these mean

Speed is modeled, not measured: decode is memory-bandwidth bound, so tokens per second is bytes read per token against achievable bandwidth. Mixture-of-experts models carry a wider band because only the routed experts are read each step, and few have been measured publicly.

Questions people ask

What AI models can a Radeon RX 9060 XT run?
1207 of 2118 indexed open-weight models fit a Radeon RX 9060 XT at 16,384 context with f16 KV cache, the largest being Ministral-3-8B-Instruct-2512-BF16-abliterated at I1-IQ4_XS. That covers text, vision-language, image, video and speech models.
How much usable memory does a Radeon RX 9060 XT actually have?
Its nameplate is 8 GB, but about 7.44 GiB is available to a model once driver and compositor overhead is accounted for.
Is a Radeon RX 9060 XT fast for local AI?
Its memory bandwidth is 320 GB/s, and that figure — not teraflops — is what governs token generation speed. Capacity decides what you can run; bandwidth decides how fast it runs.
