AMD Radeon PRO W7700
16 GB gfx1101 RDNA 3 workstation — the W7700, not the 12 GB consumer 7700 XT and not the 32 GB W7800. AMD product page cites 16 GB GDDR6, 576 GB/s peak bandwidth, 190 W TBP, and a PCIe add-in card with 1×8-pin. Official on the cited ROCm 10.1 matrix as gfx1101. llama.cpp first. House 35B Q4–Q6 files do not sit in 16 GB on the calculator — expect RAM offload or a listed Q3 file, both estimates. Speeds are not yet measured on our R9700s.

Cited support row: ROCm 10.1.0 compatibility matrix and Linux system requirements. We do not invent a support claim past that listing. AMD product page: PRO W7700.

Workstation vs consumer
Built only from cited AMD product-page specs already on this sheet and the consumer /gpus pages. We do not invent a decode number or a street price.
-
16 GB W7700 vs the 12 GB 7700 XT
Same gfx1101 family. AMD cites 16 GB / 576 GB/s / 190 W TBP on the W7700 product page. The consumer 7700 XT directory row is 12 GB. Four GB more on the workstation sticker is not a measured decode claim.
-
W7700 vs the 16 GB 7800 XT
Both are 16 GB gfx1101. The consumer 7800 XT product page cites 16 GB GDDR6, 624 GB/s, and 263 W typical board power. The W7700 cites 576 GB/s and 190 W TBP. Same VRAM class, different envelope. We do not invent a decode winner.

W7700 vs the measured R9700
The R9700 is 32 GB gfx1201 and measured. The W7700 is 16 GB gfx1101, official on the cited ROCm row, and not measured on the local desktop. House 35B Q4–Q6 files do not sit in 16 GB on the calculator.
What fits in VRAM
llama.cpp, f16 KV, 1 GPU and 2 GPUs (split). Q6 / Q5 / Q4 rows are calculator estimates. UD-Q3_K_XL is a labeled estimate — not a local desktop run. Speed stays not yet measured on our R9700s. Tables cover house 35B, Flash, and every cited /models page. Change quant or context in the calculator.

Step 1
llama.cpp first
Vulkan and ROCm/HIP are both in scope on this official gfx1101 workstation row. HIP when rocminfo lists gfx1101. Ollama and vLLM are secondary — not the house path for this card.
-
Step 2
gfx1101 family package
gfx1101 needs the gfx110x ROCm family package, same pin as the consumer 7800 XT / 7700 XT. Do not mix a gfx1100 (W7900 / W7800 / 7900 XTX) or gfx1201 (R9700) install. Re-check the cited matrix before you install.
-
Step 3
16 GB workstation, not the 12 GB 7700 XT
This sheet sizes the 16 GB W7700. AMD product page: 16 GB GDDR6, 576 GB/s, 190 W TBP. House 35B Q4–Q6 files do not fit this VRAM — expect RAM offload or a listed Q3 file, both estimates. Size the file on the calculator before you download.
-
Step 4
Setup, then Stack Lab doctor
First-run setup is Ubuntu. Open Stack Lab doctor for the gfx110x install family, then record an amdai-bench/run@1 card if you measure this SKU. House daily and Flash profiles are R9700 / local desktop — they do not apply here. Packages are not published yet.
Compare with…
Head-to-head pages use the same VRAM, bandwidth, and calculator fit already on the sheets. Q3 is a labeled estimate. No invented prices. PRO W7700 against the other published sheets:

Configurations we have
No first-party amdai-bench/run@1 card exists for this SKU. llama.cpp first. Empty cells stay empty. Fit numbers on this page are calculator estimates. Shopper RAM lines stay Minimum system RAM needed and RAM needed at full context — labeled estimate until measured.
No tested recipe yet — contribute. This card stays listed so the gap is visible.
