Speeds are estimates for a single request — one conversation at a time — calculated from memory bandwidth, model size and quantisation. Real throughput varies with the inference runtime and its version. Figures published by hardware vendors measure many simultaneous requests and are much higher.

What the numbers mean
Capacity and bandwidth
Memory
4 GB
Bandwidth
32 GB/s
Largest model
DeciLM 6B
Radeon R7 350X OEM carries only 4 GB of DDR3. That limits it to the smaller end of the catalogue, and a model has to fit entirely inside before it generates anything at all. A runtime actually gets about 3.6 GB.
Memory bandwidth reaches 32 GB/s across a bus of 128 bits. Bandwidth is this card's real constraint. Every token requires reading the entire model out of memory, so a large model will feel slow here even when it fits.
The figure is the bus width multiplied by a memory clock of 1 GHz. It is why core counts predict generation speed so poorly.
Put together, the largest model that fits is DeciLM 6B, 5.7B, compressed to Q3_K_M and generating around 5.0 tokens per second.
The chip and how it was built
Radeon R7 350X OEM is built on the graphics processor Oland, using the architecture GCN 1.0 from AMD, as part of the generation Pirate Islands(R7 300).
The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a process of 28 nm, with a die measuring 77 mm², holding 950 million transistors. A smaller process generally means more performance for the same power, though for language models it matters far less than the memory subsystem.
It was released in May 2015, roughly 11.360796637095 years ago. Inference software support tends to follow hardware by a year or two, so a card of this age generally has mature, well-optimised code paths available to it.
Compute throughput, and why it matters less than it looks
FP64
50.4 GFLOPS
Double-precision throughput reaches 50.4 GFLOPS. It has no bearing on running a language model — no inference runtime uses it — but it separates datacentre parts from consumer ones, since the latter deliberately restrict it.
Clocks run from a base of 1 GHz to a boost of 1.05 GHz. Worth far less here than on a gaming benchmark: raising the clock speeds up the arithmetic, and the arithmetic is not what generation is waiting on.
Cache and processing units
Radeon R7 350X OEM has an L1 cache of 16 KB, backed by an L2 cache of 0.25 MB. Cache absorbs a share of the memory traffic that would otherwise hit the main bus, which is the one place on this page where a number other than bandwidth quietly affects generation speed — a large L2 lets more of the working set stay close to the cores.
There are 384 shading units, 24 texture mapping units, and 8 render output units. These drive graphics workloads and contribute to prompt processing, but they sit idle for much of the time a model spends generating a reply.
Power, size and installation
Power draw
65 W
Radeon R7 350X OEM is rated at 65 W, and the suggested system power supply is 250 W. Running a language model keeps a card busy in bursts rather than continuously — it draws hard while generating and idles between requests — so sustained draw over a working day is usually well below the rated figure.
The board occupies single-slot. Worth checking against the case and power supply already in the machine, since the largest cards need considerably more of both than a typical desktop provides.
It connects over PCIe 3.0 x8. The interface governs how quickly a model is loaded from disk into the card, not how fast it runs once there, so a narrower link costs a few seconds at startup and nothing thereafter.
The extremes

The biggest open-weight models that fit on this card, newest first. Each is shown at the best compression the card can hold.
The fastest AI models on a Radeon R7 350X OEM
Where this card produces tokens quickest. Smaller models dominate here, because generating each token means reading the whole model out of memory once.
Step by step
How to work out the tokens per second of a Radeon R7 350X OEM
You do not have to calculate anything by hand — the gputps.com calculator on this page has already worked it out for every model this card can hold. Reading off the answer takes six steps.
-
01
Find the model in the table
The table lists 105 models this card can run. Search by name, or by size — typing 27b matches on the parameter count even when the name never states it.
-
02
Match the context to your work
Set the context to your real working length. Short questions cost almost nothing, but a long document can consume a large share of 4 GB so the setting is worth getting right.
-
03
Pin the comparison to one quality level
By default the table picks the least-compressed copy that fits. Setting a floor removes models that only qualify through heavy compression.
-
04
Take the range as the answer
The figures are calculated, not measured. The fastest result on this card is 12.4 tok/s on Gemma 4 E2B. The same card and model vary by thirty to fifty per cent between inference runtimes.
-
05
Check the memory column before committing
A tight fit runs but leaves no room to raise the context later; comfortable has headroom. The memory column shows what each model needs against an available 4 GB.
-
06
Cross-check against other hardware
Every model name in the table links to its own page, which runs the same calculation across every card we hold. That is where you see whether the right buy is Radeon R7 350X OEM.
Answers
Radeon R7 350X OEM — common questions
Radeon R7 350X OEM— is it good for running local AI models?
Its memory limits it to smaller models though its bandwidth means generation will feel slow on larger models. In total it runs 105 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— can it run a model that does not fit in its memory?
It can be split, with the overflow held in system memory beyond the card's 4 GB drags the whole thing down, and none of the figures on this page assume it.
Would two Radeon R7 350X OEM cards be twice as fast?
Pairing them buys headroom rather than pace: 8 GB which lets you hold models neither could hold alone, but generation does not split that way. These figures describe one card.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— which AI models can it run?
105 of the 721 open-weight language models we track fit on this card and can be run locally. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— what is the largest AI model it can run?
The largest model in our catalogue that fits is DeciLM 6B at 5.7B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 5.0 tokens per second and needs about 3.5 GB of the card's memory.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— how many tokens per second does it produce?
It depends on the model. The fastest model we track here is Gemma 4 E2B at about 12.4 tokens per second, while larger models run proportionally slower because each token requires reading the whole model out of memory once. Speeds are estimates for a single conversation at a time.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— how much memory does it have?
This card has 4 GB of DDR3. Around a tenth is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 3.6 GB available for a model and its conversation.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— what is its memory bandwidth?
Memory bandwidth reaches 32 GB/s across a bus of 128 bits. This is the single best predictor of how fast it generates text, because producing each token means reading the entire model out of memory once.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— what type of memory does it use?
It uses DDR3 clocked at 1 GHz. HBM types are found on datacentre accelerators and carry far more bandwidth than the GDDR used on desktop cards, which is why they generate tokens considerably faster at the same capacity.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— who makes it?
This is a product of AMD, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a process of 28 nm.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— when was it released?
It was released in May 2015.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— how much power does it use?
Rated board power is 65 W, and the suggested system power supply is 250 W. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— how much cache does it have?
The L1 cache is 16 KB, and the L2 cache is 0.25 MB. Cache absorbs part of the memory traffic that would otherwise reach the main bus, so a larger L2 gives a modest lift to generation speed beyond what bandwidth alone predicts.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— does it support CUDA?
No. CUDA is NVIDIA-only, and this is a card from AMD. It runs language models through ROCm, Vulkan or Metal depending on the software, which are less mature than the CUDA path — our estimates apply a penalty for that.
Radeon R7 350X OEM— what bus interface does it use?
It uses PCIe 3.0 x8. This governs how fast a model is loaded onto the card rather than how fast it runs once loaded, so it costs a few seconds at startup and nothing during generation.
The other direction
Looking at it from the other side?
This page starts from the hardware. If you already know which model you want and need to know what it takes to run it, start from the model instead.
