AMD Radeon RX 5700 — Benchmarks & Specs

8 GB VRAM

Short answer: the AMD Radeon RX 5700 generates a median 69.1 tokens/sec on 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp, across 4 cited runs from knightli.com and llama.cpp GitHub. Its 8 GB of VRAM holds up to Gemma 2 9B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (8 of 23 models fit).

Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 5700?

SpecPicks median: 69.1 tokens/sec across 4 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp (range 67.5–70.7 tok/s), from knightli.com (2 runs), llama.cpp GitHub (2 runs). One of those runs: llama2:7b at Q4_0 generates 70.7 tokens/sec under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp GitHub. At 1440p High, the Radeon RX 5700 averages 39 fps in Resident Evil Requiem with a 36 fps 1% low, per PCBench. In 3DMark Time Spy it scores 7,442–7,850 points, across two published results (3DMark, PCBench). It has 8 GB of VRAM, and the llama2:7b run above (7B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card. Larger models have no sourced run on file.

Every figure above is a row in the tables below, and each row links out to the review or public benchmark database the number was taken from; the SpecPicks median is computed here from the runs it names, each a row in the AI table. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.

Check what fits in 8 GB: by Q4-class file size, 8 of the 23 open-weight models in the SpecPicks Will-It-Run matrix load entirely into the AMD Radeon RX 5700's 8 GB with 1.5 GB left for an ~8K context, up to Gemma 2 9B (a 5.8 GB Q4_K_M file per its Hugging Face listing).

Gaming Performance (reported FPS)

Average and 1% low frame rates by game, resolution, and quality preset. Bars are scaled against the fastest result on this page.

Gaming frame rates for the Radeon RX 5700 by game, resolution, and quality preset. Rows from aggregator sites are estimates, not measured runs, dated by when SpecPicks fetched them. “1% low” is the frame-time floor that determines perceived smoothness. Each row links to its original review or benchmark database.

AI Inference Performance

Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.

Local LLM inference throughput on the Radeon RX 5700, in generated tokens per second for a single request (one user's generation speed). Higher is better; each row links to the community report or benchmark database it came from.
