Can I run Command R 35B on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB)?
Yes. Command R 35B runs on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB) at Q4_K_M (~22.3 GB of ~23 GB usable).
Fits at Q4_K_M (~22.3 GB of ~23 GB usable) but with little headroom. Close other apps; a smaller context frees a few hundred MB.
That figure is at a 4k context and moves about ±15% as context length changes. AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB) leaves ~0.7 GB of headroom.

- ~49,950M tok
At ~$0.15/kWh and the estimated ~31 tok/s, a million generated tokens costs about $0.48 in electricity. Versus a hosted API at ~$0.5 per million tokens, the ~$999 AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB) pays for itself after roughly 49,950 million tokens, so local hardware is mostly a fixed cost, not a per-token one. TDP is the peak draw, so this is an upper bound. Assumptions.

FAQ
Can AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB) run Command R 35B?
Yes. Command R 35B runs on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB) at Q4_K_M (~22.3 GB of ~23 GB usable).
How much memory does Command R 35B need?
It is a tight fit on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX (24GB). At Q4_K_M the weights are ~20.05 GB; with KV cache and runtime overhead, budget ~22.3 GB at a 4k context.
What is the best tool to run Command R 35B on Windows?
LM Studio for a simple setup; Ollama (CUDA) for the most speed. AMD GPUs run via Vulkan/ROCm at roughly half CUDA throughput. NVIDIA is the smooth path on Windows.

Weights are measured from GGUF files; KV cache and overhead are computed, so totals can vary ~15% with context and runtime. Any tok/s is a bandwidth estimate. See methodology.
