AMD RX 7600 XT 16GB vs NVIDIA Tesla P100 16GB for local LLMs

3 reports on the AMD RX 7600 XT 16GB and 13 on the NVIDIA Tesla P100 16GB

Which is faster for local LLMs?

On Qwen3.8 27B at 3-bit, the AMD RX 7600 XT 16GB has 18.0 generation tokens/s (one run); prompt processing 141.0 tokens/s (one run); the NVIDIA Tesla P100 16GB has 10.0 generation tokens/s (one run). Those are community reports whose engines and settings differ, so the gap is a rough sign, not a controlled measure of the two cards. Memory bandwidth, which caps how fast a card can write, is 2.5x higher on the NVIDIA Tesla P100 16GB (288 GB/s on the AMD RX 7600 XT 16GB, 732 on the NVIDIA Tesla P100 16GB).

Measured on both

Generation and prompt processing speeds from plain runs (one device, one request, no speculative decoding, the whole model in the device's memory) of the same model size at the same bit class. Each side shows the engines and reported context behind its median. Context can mean a configured window or prompt depth, so these are community comparisons with differing settings.

Estimated by the calculator

The quant the calculator recommends for each card and its estimated speed at a 32,768-token context with 32 GB of system RAM, from memory bandwidth and the model's shape. Where a model was also measured above, the measurement wins.
