AMD RadeonT RX 6850M XT — Benchmarks & Specs

Short answer: the AMD RadeonT RX 6850M XT generates 100 tokens/sec on qwen3:30b (Q4) under llama.cpp in a single cited run, per LocalLLaMA; there are too few comparable runs on file for a median.

Bottom line: how fast is the RadeonT RX 6850M XT?

At 1440p Ultra, the RadeonT RX 6850M XT averages 82 fps in Assassin's Creed Valhalla, per Notebookcheck. For local LLM inference it generates 100.0 tokens/sec running qwen3:30b at Q4 under llama.cpp, per LocalLLaMA. In 3DMark Fire Strike Graphics it scores 33,901 points, per Notebookcheck.

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 RadeonT RX 6850M 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.
Model Quantization Relative Tokens/sec VRAM used Source
qwen3:8b Q8_0 llama.cpp 711.0 tok/s — LocalLLaMA 2026-03-27
qwen3:30b Q4 llama.cpp 100.0 tok/s — LocalLLaMA 2026-02-22

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.

Synthetic benchmark scores for the RadeonT RX 6850M XT — higher is better. Each row links to the public database the number was taken from. A benchmark listed more than once is separate published results, shown as published rather than averaged.
