NVIDIA DGX Spark vs AMD RX 6600 for local LLMs
57 reports on the NVIDIA DGX Spark and 0 on the AMD RX 6600
Which is faster for local LLMs?
Nobody has reported the same model at the same quant on both cards yet, so there's no measured head-to-head. Memory bandwidth, which caps how fast a card can write, is 22% higher on the NVIDIA DGX Spark (273 GB/s on the NVIDIA DGX Spark, 224 on the AMD RX 6600).
