Puget Systems tests dual AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 for local LLM inference

Puget Systems benchmarked two AMD Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPUs (32GB GDDR6 each, 640 GB/s bandwidth) for local LLM inference and image generation, finding stock vLLM multi-GPU does not work on these cards. The R9700 costs ~$1,880 (MSRP $1,299), undercutting the RTX 5090 (~$4,130) while matching its VRAM capacity.
