AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE — Benchmarks & Specs
Short answer: the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE generates a median 59.5 tokens/sec on 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp, across 4 cited runs from llama.cpp GitHub, vram.run and Every Local AI. Its 12 GB of VRAM holds up to Phi-4 14B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (13 of 27 models fit). At the $679.99 Amazon price checked 4 h ago (prices change), that is 87.5 tok/s per $1,000, the SpecPicks Value Index.
- Median speed 59.5 tok/s 4 cited runs, 7-9B at Q4, llama.cpp
- Fits in 12 GB up to Phi-4 14B at Q4_K_M → at ~8K context; 13 of 27 models in the Will-It-Run matrix
- Lowest linked price $679.99 Amazon, checked ; prices change
- Value Index 87.5 tok/s per $1,000 median speed ÷ the price above
Who should buy this instead: the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE's 12 GB puts it in the 12 GB tier of the local-LLM GPU picks by VRAM (one card per tier, each with cited tok/s). If the models you run fit in 8 GB, compare the 8 GB pick. If they need more than 12 GB, start at the 16 GB pick.
Bottom line: how fast is the Radeon RX 9070 GRE?
SpecPicks median: 59.5 tokens/sec across 4 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp (range 50.6–96.1 tok/s), from llama.cpp GitHub, vram.run (2 runs), Every Local AI. At the $679.99 Amazon price of the cheapest linked listing (checked ; prices change), that is a SpecPicks Value Index of 87.5 tok/s per $1,000. One of those runs: llama3.1:8b at q4_K_M generates 58.0 tokens/sec under llama.cpp, per vram.run. At 1440p Ultra, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE averages 83 fps in HELLDIVERS 2 with a 47 fps 1% low, per PCBench. In Geekbench 6 GPU Compute it scores 137,663 points, per Engadget. It has 12 GB of VRAM, and the llama3.1:8b run above (8B 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.

Check what fits in 12 GB: by file size at each listed quantization, 13 of the 27 open-weight model files in the SpecPicks Will-It-Run matrix load entirely into the AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE's 12 GB while keeping at least 1.5 GB reserved for an ~8K context; the largest that fits, Phi-4 14B (a 9.1 GB Q4_K_M file per its Hugging Face listing), leaves roughly 2.9 GB free.
