AMD RX 480 8GB vs AMD RX 6600 XT for local LLMs
0 reports on the AMD RX 480 8GB and 2 on the AMD RX 6600 XT
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 about the same on both (256 GB/s on the AMD RX 480 8GB, 256 on the AMD RX 6600 XT). The estimates below compare them on the models people run most.
