AMD Radeon PRO W7900: 48 GB, what it runs and what it costs

Specs checked · Aliteq Team · How we compute this

The short answer

The AMD Radeon PRO W7900 has 48 GB of VRAM and 864 GB/s of memory bandwidth (2023). At Q4_K_M quality or better with an 8K context it runs 35 of the open models we track; the largest that fits with room to spare is DeepSeek R1 Distill 70B. We don't see it for rent on the providers we track right now.

AMD Radeon PRO W7900: common questions

How much VRAM does the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 have?
48 GB, with 864 GB/s of memory bandwidth, per the maker's specification.
What is the biggest AI model the AMD Radeon PRO W7900 can run?
Of the open models we track, DeepSeek R1 Distill 70B is the largest that fits at Q4_K_M or better with an 8K context and room to spare (about 43 GB of 48 GB). Qwen3-Next 80B-A3B (MoE) also squeezes in, but with almost no memory left for longer context. Bigger models only fit at lower-quality quants or need more memory.
Can I rent an AMD Radeon PRO W7900 in the cloud?
We don't see it on Vast.ai, Runpod or the other providers we track right now. The cloud GPU table lists every card that is for rent.
Is 48 GB enough?
Top-end gaming and workstation cards; 70B-class models at low-bit quants.
