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.
Q6, Q5, and Q4 sizes are cited from the GGUF repo listing. Q3 is a labeled estimate.
GB here is the publisher’s decimal listing, not measured VRAM. Q1 and Q2 stay off.
Llama 3.3 70B cited GGUF file sizes. Q3 is a labeled estimate.
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.
Llama 3.3 70B configurations. Measured cells cite run cards. Q3 is a labeled estimate unless a card exists.

Launch commands

Recommended context is 8K.
vLLM, Ollama, and Transformers appear on the official card as secondary paths — they are not the AMDai default.
