Qwen 2.5 Math 72B needs ~54.5 GB VRAM. Radeon Pro W7900 48GB has 48.0 GB. With Q4_K_M quantization, expect ~7 tok/s.
Operating mode
Interactive favors responsiveness, while light API and scale-out lean harder on serving readiness. The fit stays the same, but the recommendation lens changes.

Offload
10%
It fits through host-memory offload, and offload is the main reason performance drops.
CPU or host-memory offload is active
About 10% of the working set spills out of accelerator memory, which usually hurts latency and sustained decode throughput.
Very little memory headroom
You can run the model, but there is not much room left for longer context, bigger batches, extra apps, or future model updates.
Remove offload with more accelerator memory
Prioritize a GPU or unified-memory tier that fits the whole model natively. Removing offload usually helps more than small compute gains.
Buy headroom, not only minimum fit
A slightly larger memory tier gives you safer context growth and makes the recommendation more future-proof.
Increase host RAM if you keep offloading
This setup may need roughly 5.2 GB of extra host RAM just for the offloaded portion, before OS and other tools.

Yes, Radeon Pro W7900 48GB can run Qwen 2.5 Math 72B with a C grade (Very compromised (needs ~5.2 GB host RAM)). Expected decode speed: 7.2 tok/s.
Qwen 2.5 Math 72B (72B parameters) requires approximately 54.5 GB of memory with Q4_K_M quantization.
The recommended quantization for Qwen 2.5 Math 72B is Q4_K_M, which balances quality and memory efficiency.
On Radeon Pro W7900 48GB, Qwen 2.5 Math 72B achieves approximately 7.2 tokens per second decode speed with a time-to-first-token of 26721ms using Q4_K_M quantization.
For coding workloads, Qwen 2.5 Math 72B on Radeon Pro W7900 48GB receives a C grade with 7.2 tok/s and 4K context.
On Radeon Pro W7900 48GB, Qwen 2.5 Math 72B can safely use up to 4K tokens of context. The model's official context limit is 4K, but available memory constrains the safe maximum.
Remove offload with more accelerator memory. Prioritize a GPU or unified-memory tier that fits the whole model natively. Removing offload usually helps more than small compute gains.
