AMD Radeon RX 6700 — Benchmarks & Specs

10 GB VRAM

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).

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.

Check what fits in 10 GB: by Q4-class file size, 9 of the 23 open-weight models in the SpecPicks Will-It-Run matrix load entirely into the AMD Radeon RX 6700's 10 GB with 1.5 GB left for an ~8K context, up to Gemma 3 12B (a 7.3 GB Q4_K_M file per its Hugging Face listing).

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 6700, 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.
