Graphics card Sapphire Radeon AI PRO R9700 — 32 GB GDDR6, 256-bit, PCIe 5.0, active cooling (1 fan)

Sapphire AMD RADEON AI PRO R9700 32 GB GDDR6 is a professional discrete graphics card built on the Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPU. It provides 32 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 256-bit memory bus and connects via PCI Express x16 5.0. The card features active cooling with a single fan and multiple display outputs, and it is intended to accelerate local AI workloads and handle large machine learning data sets.

Advantages

The card combines a high-capacity 32 GB GDDR6 frame buffer with a 256-bit memory interface to support large models and datasets. PCIe 5.0 x16 interface ensures high bandwidth to the host system. Active single-fan cooling provides compact thermal management suitable for workstation builds. Multiple DisplayPort outputs allow multi-monitor configurations for visualization and development workflows.

Suitable for

• Local AI model training and inference for medium to large models
• Data preprocessing and machine learning dataset handling
• Workstation visualization and multi-monitor development setups
• GPU-accelerated compute tasks in AI frameworks that support Radeon GPUs

Key specifications

• GPU: Radeon AI PRO R9700
