AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT — Benchmarks & Specs
Short answer: the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT generates a median 68.8 tokens/sec on 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp, across 4 cited runs from llama.cpp GitHub Discussions and LocalScore. 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). At the $585.00 Amazon price checked 20 h ago (prices change), that is 117.7 tok/s per $1,000, the SpecPicks Value Index.
- Median speed 68.8 tok/s 4 cited runs, 7-9B at Q4, llama.cpp
- Fits in 8 GB up to Gemma 2 9B at Q4_K_M → at ~8K context; 8 of 23 models in the Will-It-Run matrix
- Lowest linked price $585.00 Amazon, checked ; prices change
- Value Index 117.7 tok/s per $1,000 median speed ÷ the price above
Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 5700 XT?
SpecPicks median: 68.8 tokens/sec across 4 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp (range 25.4–70.7 tok/s), from llama.cpp GitHub Discussions (3 runs), LocalScore. At the $585.00 Amazon price of the cheapest linked listing (checked ; prices change), that is a SpecPicks Value Index of 117.7 tok/s per $1,000. One of those runs: llama3.1:8b at q4_K_M generates 25.4 tokens/sec under llama.cpp, per LocalScore. At 1440p Ultra, the Radeon RX 5700 XT averages 67 fps in Cyberpunk 2077, per TechSpot. In 3DMark Time Spy it scores 8,594–10,850 points, across three published results (TechPowerUp, 3DMark, PCBench). Its 8 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the llama3.1:8b run above (8B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card.
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, and the per-$1,000 figure divides it by the dated listing price. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
