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

Why memory is the number that matters here

Memory

48 GB

Bandwidth

864 GB/s

Largest model

Qwen3-Coder-Next

The Radeon PRO W7900 carries 48 GB of GDDR6, which covers the mid-sized models most people actually run — about 43.2 GB of it after the runtime and driver reserve their working space.

Bandwidth is 864 GB/s across a 384-bit bus. Generating a token means reading every weight once, so that figure sets the pace more than any other number here, and at this level text arrives faster than most people read.

Bandwidth is clock times bus width, and this card clocks its memory at 2.25 GHz. Both halves matter, and neither is visible in a gaming benchmark.

The practical ceiling is Qwen3-Coder-Next at 80B, held at IQ4_XS and running at roughly 48.7 tokens per second.

The chip and how it was built

The Radeon PRO W7900 is built on the Navi 31 graphics processor, using AMD's RDNA 3.0 architecture, as part of the Radeon Pro Navi(Navi III Series) generation.

The chip is manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process, with a die measuring 529 mm², holding 57.7 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 April 2023, roughly 3 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

122.6 TFLOPS

FP64

1.9 TFLOPS

On paper the Radeon PRO W7900 reaches 122.6 TFLOPS at half precision and 61.3 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 is 1.9 TFLOPS. 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 1.86 GHz at base to 2.5 GHz boosted. 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

The Radeon PRO W7900 has 250 KB of L1 cache, backed by 6 MB of L2. 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 6,144 shading units, 384 texture mapping units, and 192 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

295 W

The Radeon PRO W7900 is rated at 295 W, with a 600 W power supply suggested for the whole system. 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 a triple-slot, measuring 280 mm long, and needs 2x 8-pin. 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 4.0 x16. 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.

Step by step

How to work out the tokens per second of a Radeon PRO W7900

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.

  1. 01

    Find the model in the table

    Every one of the 576 models this Radeon PRO W7900 runs is in the table above. Search narrows it by name or by size.

  2. 02

    Match the context to your work

    Longer conversations cost memory on top of the weights. With 48 GB to work in, that is frequently the difference between a model fitting and not.

  3. 03

    Set a minimum quality if you need one

    Compression is what lets bigger models fit. The quality control drops any model that needs more of it than you are willing to give.

  4. 04

    Look at the range, not just the number

    Speeds come with error bars for a reason. The best case here is 285 tok/s on Gemma 3 QAT 1B, and which inference software you use moves that by thirty to fifty per cent.

  5. 05

    Read the fit verdict last

    Compare what each model needs with the 48 GB this card provides. Tight means it works today; comfortable means it still works when the conversation grows.

  6. 06

    Open the model to compare cards

    Following a model through to its own page lists all the hardware that can run it, so you can see where the Radeon PRO W7900 sits against the alternatives.

Answers

Radeon PRO W7900 — common questions

01

Can a Radeon PRO W7900 run a 7B model?

Yes. For example a Radeon PRO W7900 runs Multi-Token Prediction 7B at Q8_0, using about 7.9 GB of memory and generating around 42.6 tokens per second.

02

Can a Radeon PRO W7900 run a 13B model?

Yes. For example a Radeon PRO W7900 runs DeepSeekMoE-16B at Q8_0, using about 17.5 GB of memory and generating around 99.1 tokens per second.

03

Can a Radeon PRO W7900 run a 30B model?

Yes. For example a Radeon PRO W7900 runs ERNIE-4.5-VL-28B-A3B at Q8_0, using about 29.2 GB of memory and generating around 56.6 tokens per second.

04

Can a Radeon PRO W7900 run a 70B model?

Yes. For example a Radeon PRO W7900 runs Qwen3-Coder-Next at IQ4_XS, using about 38.8 GB of memory and generating around 48.7 tokens per second.

05

How much memory does a Radeon PRO W7900 have?

A Radeon PRO W7900 has 48 GB of GDDR6 memory. Around a tenth of that is reserved by the inference runtime and the driver, leaving roughly 43.2 GB available for a model and its conversation.

06

What is the memory bandwidth of a Radeon PRO W7900?

The Radeon PRO W7900 has 864 GB/s of memory bandwidth, across a 384-bit memory bus. 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.

07

What type of memory does a Radeon PRO W7900 use?

It uses GDDR6 clocked at 2.25 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.

08

Who makes the Radeon PRO W7900?

The Radeon PRO W7900 is a AMD product, with the chip manufactured by TSMC, on a 5 nm process.

09

When was the Radeon PRO W7900 released?

The Radeon PRO W7900 was released in April 2023.

10

How much power does a Radeon PRO W7900 use?

The Radeon PRO W7900 has a rated board power of 295 W, and a 600 W system power supply is suggested. Generating text draws hard in bursts and idles between requests, so average consumption over a working session is normally well below the rated figure.

11

How much cache does a Radeon PRO W7900 have?

The Radeon PRO W7900 has 250 KB of L1 cache, and 6 MB of L2 cache. 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.

12

What are the TFLOPS of a Radeon PRO W7900?

The Radeon PRO W7900 is rated at 122.6 TFLOPS at half precision and 61.3 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.

13

Does the Radeon PRO W7900 support CUDA?

No. CUDA is NVIDIA-only, and the Radeon PRO W7900 is a AMD card. 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.

14

What bus interface does the Radeon PRO W7900 use?

It uses PCIe 4.0 x16. 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.

15

Is the Radeon PRO W7900 good for running local AI models?

Its memory is large enough for models most desktop hardware cannot touch and its bandwidth is high enough to generate text faster than most people read. In total it runs 576 of the models we track. Whether that is enough depends entirely on which model you want — the table above answers that directly.

16

Can a Radeon PRO W7900 run a model that does not fit in its memory?

Offloading past the card's 48 GB is possible and usually a false economy: the system-memory portion is slow enough to dominate the result.

17

Would two Radeon PRO W7900 cards be twice as fast?

Capacity adds, throughput does not. Two of them give you 96 GB to work with rather than twice the tokens per second — every figure here is for a single Radeon PRO W7900.

18

What AI models can a Radeon PRO W7900 run?

576 of the 679 open-weight language models we track fit on a Radeon PRO W7900 and can be run locally on it. The table on this page lists every one, with the memory it needs, the quantisation it runs at and an estimated generation speed.

19

What is the largest AI model a Radeon PRO W7900 can run?

The largest model in our catalogue that fits on a Radeon PRO W7900 is Qwen3-Coder-Next at 80B parameters, compressed to IQ4_XS. It generates roughly 48.7 tokens per second and needs about 38.8 GB of the card's memory.

20

How many tokens per second does a Radeon PRO W7900 produce?

It depends on the model. On a Radeon PRO W7900 the fastest model we track is Gemma 3 QAT 1B at about 285 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.

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.
