Can a 7900 XTX 24GB run Qwen locally? Reddit seeks ROCm tok/s benchmarks

A Redditor planning a PC build for local LLMs and coding agents is considering the 7900 XTX 24GB because 3090s are hard to find locally and newer Nvidia cards are too expensive.
While 3090 + Qwen benchmarks are common, data on the 7900 XTX is scarce. The poster asks for real-world decode/prefill tok/s numbers, how AMD's ROCm support holds up, and whether 32GB system RAM is enough or 64GB is worth it if SSD streaming/offloading is needed for Q4 quantized runs.
