SCAIL-2 14B (character animation) on AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX

Can the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX run SCAIL-2 14B (character animation)?

Yes, but slowly (CPU offload)

Slow (CPU offload). At FP16 it needs about 18.3 GB of 24.0 GB usable, with an estimated speed of 29.0 min.

Best precision: FP16
Memory mode: Sequential CPU offload
Time per clip: 29.0 min
Output: 896×512, 81 frames, 40 steps

How it’s rated

Quality 80Great quality (A) · 80 of 100: how capable the model is at FP16, whatever it runs on. Match score 67/100 (quality, fit, speed and memory use) sets the ranking.: How capable the model itself is at FP16, from its editorial quality tier scaled by the quantization or precision. It’s the same on any hardware that runs this variant. Scale: A+ 85+ · A 70+ · B 55+ · C 40+ · D under 40.
Runs SlowCPU offload: How well it runs on the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX: speed, capped by how well it fits in memory. Runs great: 30+ tokens/s (or near the image, video or decision speed target) · Runs well: 10+ tokens/s · Slow: 3+ tokens/s · Very slow: under 3 · Won’t run: doesn’t fit even with offload. A tight fit or RAM offload caps it at Runs well; heavy offload caps it at Slow.

Match score

To order lists, each result also gets a match score out of 100 from four parts. It favors the most capable model that still runs well.

Model qualityEditorial quality tier of the model, scaled by the quantization or precision used.	36.0 / 45
Memory fitFull marks when everything sits in GPU memory; fewer when part spills to system RAM.	12.0 / 25
SpeedGeneration speed against a 40 tokens/s target for LLMs, or render time against a target for image and video.	4.8 / 15
Memory useRewards using the memory you have, so a bigger, better variant beats a tiny one that leaves most memory idle.	15.0 / 15
Match score	67.8 / 100

The match score orders results; it is not shown as a grade. Quality and Runs are the two ratings in the tables.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
