RX 9060 XT 16GB llama.cpp Vulkan and ROCm benchmarks

Method (as reported): Three full matrix runs; llama-bench pp512/tg128 with default repetitions, FA and full offload.

HEAD seen at retrieval: 41cb2ed3b7c1 (not necessarily the commit the author measured)

• Reported GPU setup RX 9060 XT 16GB
• GPU count 1
• Operating system Linux (CachyOS kernel 7.1.3-2)
• Engine llama.cpp b9957 (c4ae9a88f8)
• Backend HIP (ROCm 7.2.4) versus RADV Vulkan
• Driver RADV from Mesa 26.1.4
• Model Qwen3.5-9B Q4_K_M
• Actual input input length not reported
• Reported context Only short synthetic prompt and generation tests were reported.
• Simultaneous clients 1
• Workers 1
• Topology single
• CPU Intel Core i5-12400F
• Memory configuration 32 GB DDR4 RAM

• 1904.16 tok/s ± 1.31 (as reported) — prompt speed (per request) · Synthetic benchmark (not API serving) · 1 client · input 512 tokens
  Compared with 1845.34 tok/s ± 43.26 (as reported) (RADV Vulkan versus HIP, pp512); reported difference: other
  Full offload and FA; author reports ±1.31 versus ±43.26
• 50.15 tok/s ± 0.39 (as reported) — generation speed (per request) · Synthetic benchmark (not API serving) · 1 client
  Compared with 49.36 tok/s ± 0.06 (as reported) (RADV Vulkan versus HIP, tg128); reported difference: other
  Full offload and FA; author reports ±0.39 versus ±0.06

Not reported: system memory, GGUF digest, Configured context, Long-prompt behavior, API serving, Concurrent clients, Native Windows rate

• This is the 16GB variant, not the 8GB XT or non-XT card.
• Short synthetic benchmarks do not establish long-context fit or agent turn time.
• Author notes asserts-enabled package build could affect absolute speed.
• Linux RADV performance does not transfer to Windows Vulkan.

  This row: configured context: 32,768 tokens

Not reported: system memory, GGUF digest, Actual occupied prompt, KV cache types, Repetitions and variance, Physical VRAM residency

• The source's 64K-labelled rows lack a corresponding documented launch and are excluded.
• The separate W5500 served embedding and reranking, not dual-GPU model parallelism.
• The author had not completed an agent-harness comparison.
• Qwen3.8 IQ3 is not the candidate site's Qwen3.5 Q8 recipe.
