AMD Radeon Pro W7900 48GB — Benchmarks & Specs

48 GB VRAM295W TDP$3,999 MSRP2023

Short answer: the AMD Radeon Pro W7900 48GB generates a median 108 tokens/sec on 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp, across 4 cited runs from llama.cpp GitHub and llm-tracker.info. Its 48 GB of VRAM holds up to DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama 70B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context, by the Will-It-Run matrix's sizing (27 of 27 models fit). At the $3,839.00 Amazon price checked 19 h ago (prices change), that is 28.1 tok/s per $1,000, the SpecPicks Value Index. That ranks #27 of 28 GPUs on tok/s per $1,000 in the SpecPicks value table (table built 2026-10-27 04:56 UTC). On eBay, a used listing for it is $3,570.66, checked (listings can end at any time).

Who should buy this instead: the AMD Radeon Pro W7900 48GB's 48 GB puts it in the 48 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 24 GB, compare the 24 GB pick. If they need more than 48 GB, start at the 128 GB unified pick.

AMD Radeon Pro W7900 48GB: verdict by use case

  • For everyday local models (7-9B dense): a median 108 tok/s at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp, across 4 cited runs (llama.cpp GitHub, llm-tracker.info).
  • For 70B-class local models (65-73B dense): a median 11.3 tok/s at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp, across 7 cited runs (Tom's Hardware, Windows Forum).
  • For the largest model in 48 GB: DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama 70B at Q4_K_M with an ~8K context; 27 of the 27 models in the Will-It-Run matrix fit.
  • For speed per dollar: 28.1 tok/s per $1,000 on 7-9B models, at the $3,839.00 Amazon price checked (price may vary).

Each verdict quotes a figure from a linked source or a row in the tables below. Where no cited figure exists for a use case, there is no verdict line for it.

Bottom line: how fast is the AMD Radeon Pro W7900 48GB?

SpecPicks median: 108 tokens/sec across 4 cited single-user runs of 7-9B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp (range 68.5–127 tok/s), from llama.cpp GitHub (2 runs), llm-tracker.info (2 runs). At the $3,839.00 Amazon price of the cheapest new linked listing (checked ; prices change), that is a SpecPicks Value Index of 28.1 tok/s per $1,000. For larger models, the SpecPicks median is 11.3 tokens/sec across 7 cited single-user runs of 65-73B dense models at 4-bit (Q4) under llama.cpp (range 10.4–12.7 tok/s), from Tom's Hardware (3 runs), Windows Forum, llm-tracker.info (3 runs). For local LLM inference it generates 11.3 tokens/sec running llama3.1:70b at q4_K_M under llama.cpp, per llm-tracker.info. In PassMark G3D Mark it scores 27,729 points, per PassMark. Its 48 GB of VRAM is the binding constraint for local inference: the llama3.1:70b run above (70.6B parameters) is the largest model on file at 4-bit quantization on this card. That run's source does not report a context length; the Will-It-Run matrix sizes each model at its listed quantization with an ~8K context, and by that measure DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama 70B at Q4_K_M is the largest that fits in 48 GB.

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 48 GB: by file size at each listed quantization, 27 of the 27 open-weight model files in the SpecPicks Will-It-Run matrix load entirely into the AMD Radeon Pro W7900 48GB's 48 GB while keeping at least 1.5 GB reserved for an ~8K context; the largest, DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Llama 70B (a 42.5 GB Q4_K_M file per its Hugging Face listing), leaves roughly 5.5 GB free.

What fits in the AMD Radeon Pro W7900 48GB's 48 GB, and what doesn't

7 of these 7 model files load whole into 48 GB with room for an ~8K context. A file fits when the card keeps at least 1.5 GB free after the weights; file sizes are the GGUF downloads on Hugging Face. Speeds are this card's single-user generation speed from cited community runs at the Q4-class file listed; a row with no cited run says so rather than estimating one.
