AMD FirePro D700 6GB vs NVIDIA RTX 5090 for local LLMs
1 report on the AMD FirePro D700 6GB and 168 on the NVIDIA RTX 5090
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 6.8x higher on the NVIDIA RTX 5090 (264 GB/s on the AMD FirePro D700 6GB, 1,792 on the NVIDIA RTX 5090). The estimates below compare them on the models people run most.
