04About the RX 7900 XTX 24 GB
ComfyUI supports AMD GPUs on Windows officially since v0.7.0 (January 2026), through ROCm. Memory works the same as on NVIDIA, so the fit verdicts apply. Some custom nodes are NVIDIA-only. RDNA 3 has no FP8 compute, so FP8 files save memory but give no speed-up.

05Questions
How much VRAM does HunyuanImage 2.1 need?
Around 10.6 GB with the smallest file (Q2_K) and 20.7 GB with an 8-bit file (FP8). The full 16-bit file needs about 38.2 GB.
Which HunyuanImage 2.1 file should I download for the RX 7900 XTX 24 GB?
Q8_0 (19.8 GB) from calcuis/hunyuanimage-gguf. Load it with Unet Loader (GGUF) from the ComfyUI-GGUF node pack.
FP8 or Q8_0 for HunyuanImage 2.1 on the RX 7900 XTX 24 GB?
Q8_0 (19.8 GB). The RX 7900 XTX 24 GB has no FP8 maths, so FP8 (17.4 GB) only saves memory and is a step further from the original.
