Hardware comparison
NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) vs AMD RX 9070 XT (16GB) for local LLMs
How the two stack up for running open-source LLMs locally — memory, bandwidth, price, and how many of the 69 tracked models each one can run.

| Hardware | NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) | AMD RX 9070 XT (16GB) |
|---|---|---|
| Memory | 16.0 GB | 16.0 GB |
| Bandwidth | 288 GB/s | 645 GB/s (better for this comparison) |

| LLMs it runs | 48 of 69 | 48 of 69 |
| Best model it runs | Gemma 4 31BQ2_K · estimated 16–24 tok/s | Gemma 4 31BQ2_K · estimated 33–50 tok/s |
Both prices cover GPU cards only. A host PC is required and its cost is excluded. Prices are approximate catalog estimates; check current configurations and prices before buying.
Both estimated speeds use the same model and quant shown above. Estimates use 4,096 context tokens, llama.cpp and one stream.
The NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti (16GB) and AMD RX 9070 XT (16GB) run the same number of tracked models. Compare their ecosystem and purchase scope before price. The AMD RX 9070 XT (16GB) has more memory bandwidth (645 GB/s). Higher bandwidth can help generation speed, but model, quant, architecture and runtime also affect the estimates.
