Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 7900 XT?

At 1440p High, the Radeon RX 7900 XT averages 156 fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, per SlashGear. For local LLM inference it generates 50.4 tokens/sec running phi4 at Q4_K_M under ollama, per llmrun.dev. In 3DMark Fire Strike (GPU Graphics sub-score) it scores 63,712 points, per Notebookcheck. Its 20 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card is mistral-small-24b-instruct-2501 (24B parameters, Q4_K_M), generating 32.3 tokens/sec under ollama, per llmrun.dev.

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.

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 7900 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.
