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.

Capacity and bandwidth
Memory
32 GB
Bandwidth
512 GB/s
Largest model
Phi-3.5-MoE
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo carries 32 GB of GDDR6. That covers the mid-sized models most people actually run. Once the runtime and driver reserve their working space, roughly this much is left: 28.8 GB.
Memory bandwidth reaches 512 GB/s across a bus of 256 bits. That is the number governing generation speed — arithmetic per byte read is small enough that the bus, not the cores, is what everything waits on.
The figure is the bus width multiplied by a memory clock of 2 GHz. Both halves matter, and neither is visible in a gaming benchmark.
The biggest thing it holds is Phi-3.5-MoE, 60.8B, compressed to Q3_K_M and generating around 41.7 tokens per second.
The chip and how it was built
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo is built on the graphics processor Navi 21, using the architecture RDNA 2.0 from AMD, as part of the generation Radeon Pro Mac(Navi II Series).
The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a process of 7 nm, with a die measuring 520 mm², holding 26.8 billion 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 August 2021, roughly 5.1142213352555 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
FP16
30.2 TFLOPS
FP64
944.2 GFLOPS
On paper Radeon Pro W6800X Duo reaches 30.2 TFLOPS at half precision, and 15.1 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak figures no real workload sustains, and generating text reaches only a small fraction of them — decoding is limited by memory rather than arithmetic, which is why a card can look enormously powerful here and still produce tokens at an ordinary rate.
Double-precision throughput reaches 944.2 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 1.8 GHz to a boost of 1.97 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 Pro W6800X Duo has an L1 cache of 128 KB, backed by an L2 cache of 4 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 3,840 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 96 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
400 W
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo is rated at 400 W, and the suggested system power supply is 800 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 quad-slot, measuring 267 mm long. 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 Apple MPX. 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.

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 Pro W6800X Duo
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
Start with the model, not the specification
The table lists 543 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
Drag the slider to the conversation length you plan to work at. The cache grows with the conversation, and against a card holding 32 GB so the setting is worth getting right.
-
03
Set a minimum quality if you need one
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
Speeds come with error bars for a reason. The best case here is 169 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B. The same card and model vary by thirty to fifty per cent between inference runtimes.
-
05
Read the fit verdict last
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 32 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 Pro W6800X Duo.
Answers
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo — common questions
Would two Radeon Pro W6800X Duo cards be twice as fast?
Pairing them buys headroom rather than pace: 64 GB of combined memory, at roughly the same generation speed as one.
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo— which AI models can it run?
543 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 Pro W6800X Duo— what is the largest AI model it can run?
The largest model in our catalogue that fits is Phi-3.5-MoE at 60.8B parameters, compressed to Q3_K_M. It generates roughly 41.7 tokens per second and needs about 27.2 GB of the card's memory.
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo— how many tokens per second does it produce?
It depends on the model. The fastest model we track here is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 169 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 Pro W6800X Duo— can it run 7B models?
Yes. For example it runs Gemma 4 E4B at Q8_0, using about 9.8 GB of memory and generating around 37.6 tokens per second.
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo— can it run 13B models?
Yes. For example it runs DeepSeekMoE-16B at Q8_0, using about 17.5 GB of memory and generating around 58.7 tokens per second.
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo— can it run 30B models?
Yes. For example it runs ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B at Q6_K, using about 22.7 GB of memory and generating around 48.8 tokens per second.
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo— how much memory does it have?
This card has 32 GB of GDDR6. Around a tenth is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 28.8 GB available for a model and its conversation.
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo— what is its memory bandwidth?
Memory bandwidth reaches 512 GB/s across a bus of 256 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 Pro W6800X Duo— what type of memory does it use?
It uses GDDR6 clocked at 2 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 Pro W6800X Duo— who makes it?
This is a product of AMD, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a process of 7 nm.
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo— when was it released?
It was released in August 2021.
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo— how much power does it use?
Rated board power is 400 W, and the suggested system power supply is 800 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 Pro W6800X Duo— how much cache does it have?
The L1 cache is 128 KB, and the L2 cache is 4 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 Pro W6800X Duo— what are its TFLOPS?
It is rated at 30.2 TFLOPS at half precision and 15.1 TFLOPS at single precision. These are peak arithmetic ceilings rather than achievable rates, and text generation reaches only a small fraction of them because it is limited by memory bandwidth instead.
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo— 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 Pro W6800X Duo— what bus interface does it use?
It uses Apple MPX. 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.
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo— is it good for running local AI models?
Its memory comfortably covers the mid-sized models most people run locally and its bandwidth gives usable, if unspectacular, generation speeds. In total it runs 543 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo— can it run a model that does not fit in its memory?
Offloading past the card's 32 GB sit in system memory and run at a fraction of the speed, so a mostly-offloaded model is rarely worth using. Every figure here assumes it is fully resident on the card.
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.
