Llama 3.3 70B

Meta’s 70B instruct file for 32–64 GB cards, or RAM offload on 16–24 GB. Official card context is 128K tokens. Q6 / Q5 / Q4 file sizes come from bartowski/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct-GGUF. Q3 is a labeled estimate. Decode is not yet measured on our R9700s. llama.cpp first.

How we test — Measured cells cite official amdai-bench/run@1 cards. Estimates stay labeled. Q3 is estimate-only. Q1/Q2 stay off.

System RAM

Kit sizes are real DIMM steps. Measured peaks come from run cards when we have them; otherwise the line is an estimate. Wherever RAM offload appears, both shopper labels stay on the page.

Q6 / Q5 / Q4, plus Q3 as a labeled estimate. 1 GPU and 2 GPU. Decode, prefill, peak VRAM per card, VRAM total, and peak system RAM come from amdai-bench/run@1 cards when a cell is measured. A null field stays not on the card. Untested cells say no data — contribute or not yet measured on our R9700s. Q1 and Q2 stay off.
