Radeon RX 7500 — Benchmarks & Specs
Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 7500?
For local LLM inference it generates 711.0 tokens/sec running qwen3:8b at Q8_0 under llama.cpp, per LocalLLaMA. In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 1,873 pts, per PassMark.
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.
The Radeon RX 7500 is a graphics card from AMD. Data on this page draws on 3 synthetic benchmark results, 3 community AI inference reports, aggregated from public benchmark databases (TechPowerUp, PassMark, Geekbench, Cinebench) and the LocalLLaMA community. Read this page when shopping the Radeon RX 7500, comparing it against other graphics cards in your build, or sizing it for a specific workload (gaming at 1080p/1440p/4K, productivity benchmarks, or local LLM inference).
AI Inference Performance
Tokens per second under each model + quantization. Higher = faster generation. Bars compare runs across the same model.
| Model | Quantization | Relative | Tokens/sec | VRAM used | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| qwen3:8b | Q8_0 llama.cpp | 711.0 tok/s | — | LocalLLaMA 2026-03-27 | |
| qwen3:30b | — lmstudio | 33.0 tok/s | — | LocalLLaMA 2026-02-05 | |
| qwen3:80b | Q8 llama.cpp | 1.1 tok/s | — | LocalLLaMA 2025-12-27 |
Synthetic Benchmarks
Higher is better. Bars are scaled within each benchmark family (multi-thread, single-thread, etc.) so you can compare like-with-like at a glance.
| Benchmark | Relative | Score | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| PassMark G3D Mark | 1,873 pts | PassMark 2026-04-20 | |
| PassMark G3D Mark | 1,873 points | PassMark Software 2024-12-28 | |
| PassMark G2D Mark | 572 pts | PassMark 2026-04-20 |
