FX Can I run FLUX.1 schnell on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB)?
Yes. FLUX.1 schnell runs on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB) at Q4 GGUF (~6.5 GB of ~23 GB usable).
Runs at Q4 GGUF using ~6.5 GB of ~23 GB usable.

How to run it
Use ComfyUI or Draw Things at Q4 GGUF. The big text encoder is loaded to encode your prompt, then offloaded before generation, which is why peak VRAM stays near the backbone size rather than the sum of every file.

FAQ
Can AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB) run FLUX.1 schnell?
Yes. FLUX.1 schnell runs on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB) at Q4 GGUF (~6.5 GB of ~23 GB usable).
How much VRAM does FLUX.1 schnell need?
AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB) has room to spare. At Q4 GGUF the realistic peak is ~6.5 GB of VRAM, versus ~33 GB with every component kept resident (no offload). With aggressive CPU offload it drops to ~3 GB, much slower.
What do I use to run FLUX.1 schnell locally?
FLUX.1 schnell runs in ComfyUI or Draw Things (among others). It loads as a diffusion checkpoint plus its text encoder and VAE, not a single chat command.
