GPU · AMD
The Radeon AI PRO R9700 is AMD's workstation card with 32GB of memory. AMD lists an MSRP of $1,299.
32GB gives the same model headroom as an RTX 5090 for less money, though it is slower. It runs llama.cpp, LM Studio and Ollama through ROCm or Vulkan, but some tools still assume NVIDIA. AMD also sells a passively cooled R9700S version for multi-card workstations.
