Speed is modeled, not measured: decode is memory-bandwidth bound, so tokens per second is bytes read per token against achievable bandwidth. Mixture-of-experts models carry a wider band because only the routed experts are read each step, and few have been measured publicly.
Measured on this card
| Workload◍ | Median | Middle 50% | Runs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Image generation | 5.42 it/s | 4.02–9.97 | 189 |
| Prompt processing | 1615.12 tok/s | 1119.95–1866.50 | 15 |
| Text generation | 85.60 tok/s | 83.28–98.49 | 15 |
Aggregated from community-submitted runs, so the spread is wide by nature — it covers different models, resolutions, step counts and settings, not one controlled configuration. Read the middle 50% rather than the median alone. These figures are reproduced with attribution from vladmandic-sd-data-benchmark, which publishes no licence — so we display and link rather than redistribute them.
Questions people ask
- What AI models can a Radeon RX 6900 XT run?
- 1681 of 2118 indexed open-weight models fit a Radeon RX 6900 XT at 65,536 context with q8_0 KV cache, the largest being Huihui-gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-abliterated at UD-IQ4_NL. That covers text, vision-language, image, video and speech models.
- How much usable memory does a Radeon RX 6900 XT actually have?
- Its nameplate is 16 GB, but about 14.88 GiB is available to a model once driver and compositor overhead is accounted for.
- Is a Radeon RX 6900 XT fast for local AI?
- Its memory bandwidth is 512 GB/s, and that figure — not teraflops — is what governs token generation speed. Capacity decides what you can run; bandwidth decides how fast it runs.
