AMD Radeon RX 6700 — Benchmarks & Specs
Short answer: the AMD Radeon RX 6700 generates 83.9 tokens/sec on llama2:7b (q4_0) under llama.cpp in a single cited run, per llama.cpp GitHub; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median. Its 10 GB of VRAM holds up to Gemma 3 12B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (9 of 23 models fit).
- Single cited run 83.9 tok/s llama2:7b q4_0, per llama.cpp GitHub
- Fits in 10 GB up to Gemma 3 12B at Q4_K_M → at ~8K context; 9 of 23 models in the Will-It-Run matrix
Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 6700?
At 1440p High, the Radeon RX 6700 averages 70 fps in Control, per KitGuru. For local LLM inference it generates 83.9 tokens/sec running llama2:7b at q4_0 under llama.cpp, per llama.cpp GitHub. In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 18,922–18,931 pts, across two PassMark results (PassMark GPU benchmark listing, PassMark GPU benchmark listing). It has 10 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. SpecPicks aggregates published measurements; it does not report first-party benchmark runs.
