Optimizing MiniMax H3 on AMD GPUs: Benchmarks and Pitfalls
frq2000 · reddit · 2026-08-07
The author shared detailed optimization experiences for running the MiniMax H3 video generation model locally on an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT (20GB).
- Baseline: Using ComfyUI with INT8/INT4 quantized models, generating a 10-second 1056×608 video takes 58 minutes.
- Working Optimizations: Enabled AOTriton Flash Attention, MIOpen cache, disabled mmap (fixes an extreme slowdown loading safetensors on AMD), and configured layer-wise VRAM loading.
- Rejected Solutions: SageAttention v1 actually slows down performance on RDNA3; Sol-Attn node causes hangs due to incompatibility; DynamicVRAM fails due to a known ROCm bug.
- To be tested: Listed several ComfyUI nodes and Triton kernels for potential further speedups, asking the community for more experiences.
