AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT — Benchmarks & Specs

16 GB VRAM$499 MSRP2023

Short answer: the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT generates a median 101 tokens/sec on 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp, across 7 cited runs from llama.cpp GitHub and LocalScore.ai. Its 16 GB of VRAM holds up to gpt-oss-20b at MXFP4 with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (14 of 23 models fit). At the $978.00 Amazon price checked 21 h ago (prices change), that is 103.2 tok/s per $1,000, the SpecPicks Value Index.

Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 7800 XT?

SpecPicks median: 101 tokens/sec across 7 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp (range 34.1–125 tok/s), from llama.cpp GitHub (5 runs), LocalScore.ai (2 runs). At the $978.00 Amazon price of the cheapest linked listing (checked ; prices change), that is a SpecPicks Value Index of 103.2 tok/s per $1,000. At 1440p Ultra, the Radeon RX 7800 XT averages 96 fps in Dead Space, per Wccftech. For local LLM inference it generates 33.4 tokens/sec running qwen3:14b at q4_K_M under ollama, per llm-bench.io. In 3DMark Fire Strike it scores 27,435 points, per Overclocking.com. It has 16 GB of VRAM, and the qwen3:14b run above (14B 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, 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.

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 7800 XT, 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.
