Sapphire 32358-01-20G AMD Radeon™ AI PRO R9700 Graphics Card with 32GB GDDR6, AMD RDNA 4

I needed a good AI capable GPU to complement my Ryzen based PC. Of course, NVIDIA reins supreme at the moment. But I was not sinking $3k-$4k in a GPU to see the slight gains cited in some parameters, when this board met my needs at less than half that cost.I’m not bashing NVIDIA. BUT this 32gb Saphire Radeon AI Pro GPU is excellent. I have zero complaints thus far. It executes tasking fast using the most complex model software I selected. Its merging with my Ryzen 9700 system is transparent and as if it was born for it. Video rendering is of course perfection but my immediate need was to perfo

The good: it works on my linux system, 32GB of VRAM will be great for local AI workflows, overkill for basic gamingThe bad: it runs hotter and is much much louder than my whisper-quiet 9070XT, sure I get double the VRAM, but I don't know how long I can tolerate the noise. Not great when you've invested money into Noctua fans for a quiet PCShipping/delivery was a pain, It took over a month to arrive since I originally ordered it, and most of that time it hadn't even shipped. pretty sure GPU shortages have a lot to do with that.

I'll be honest, I don't game at all. I bought two of these cards purely for local AI work, and they've been incredible for that purpose.Having two W9700s gives me 64GB of combined VRAM and that changes everything when it comes to running models locally. I'm talking 120B parameter models running through Ollama on my own machine, no cloud, no API bills, no rate limits. If you're into local AI seriously, you already know why that matters.Ollama runs perfectly on these cards, ComfyUI works without issues, and the image generation headroom you get with 32GB per card is massive. I was honestly expec

Box came in Damaged looking like is was pried apart. No damage to card. Ran Preliminary tests and seems ok so far. Will update soon.
