24gb vram to 48gb vram

Key Points

The post asks for experiences moving from 24GB to 48GB VRAM by adding another Radeon 7900 XTX for local LLM usage.
The author is only “semi satisfied” with newer Qwen model results and wants to know whether the larger VRAM translates into a noticeable quality-of-life improvement.
It specifically asks whether 48GB VRAM meaningfully increases capabilities by running larger models in that VRAM range.
The main use case is coding workflows using open-source code (Local LLaMA context), focusing on practical gains rather than benchmarking alone.

Hi all

I m debating purchasing another 7900xtx in addition to the one I'm currently using pushing my vram from 24 to 48. I'm semi satisfied with the new qwen models. I wanted to hear your experiences in terms of quality of life improvement going from 24 to 48 GB vram. Do you think there's significant capability gain from running a larger model in that range ? My main use case is coding via open code
