AMD FirePro M4000 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER and the AMD FirePro M4000 occupy completely different corners of the GPU landscape. The recorded data shows no shared benchmark between the two, so the comparison hinges on their respective measured scores and the contexts those scores represent.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a modern desktop-class card aimed at high-end gaming and compute workloads. Its single recorded benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, returned a score of 6269.5. This test stresses DirectX 12 rendering with advanced geometry, ray tracing, and mesh shading. A score in that range places the card at the 36th percentile among all GPUs in the database, meaning it outperforms roughly two-thirds of recorded graphics hardware. Its nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (identical average score of 6270, 0% delta), the AMD FirePro W600 (6223, 0.8% slower), and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 (6327, 0.9% faster). The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins the high-end segment: it edges out the FirePro W600 by 0.8% and trails the R7 M350 by only 0.9%, while tying the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 exactly.

The AMD FirePro M4000, by contrast, is a mobile workstation GPU from 2012. Its only recorded benchmark is Geekbench OpenCL, a compute-oriented test that returned a score of 5537. This places it at the 32nd percentile among all GPUs. Its nearest rivals are all low-power mobile parts: the NVIDIA GeForce MX130 (5508, 0.5% slower), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 765M (5501, 0.7% slower), and the AMD Radeon R7 M440 (5483, 1% slower). The FirePro M4000 leads that group by a narrow margin, beating the MX130 by 0.5% and the R7 M440 by 1%. The Quadro M500M (5604) sits 1.2% ahead.

The use-case split is stark. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in modern gaming, high-resolution rendering, ray tracing, and any workload that leverages DirectX 12 Ultimate features. The FirePro M4000 wins in legacy mobile compute scenarios, OpenCL-based tasks, and low-power deployments where its 33 W thermal envelope and MXM form factor are assets. Neither card is a general-purpose winner across both domains. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is built for performance density in a desktop tower; the FirePro M4000 is built for portability and modest compute in a laptop chassis.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

There are no shared benchmark results in the database, so a direct apples-to-apples comparison is not possible. The closest point of reference is the difference in their average benchmark scores, which measure entirely different workloads. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER averages 6270 across its recorded tests, while the FirePro M4000 averages 5537. That is a 13.2% gap in raw average score, but the comparison is misleading because the tests differ: the NVIDIA card runs a DX12 gaming benchmark, while the AMD card runs an OpenCL compute test.

Looking at the nearest-rival data provides the clearest picture. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's closest competitor is the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, with an identical average score of 6270. The delta is 0%, meaning the two perform at parity in the database's metrics. Against the FirePro W600, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is 0.8% faster (6270 vs 6223). Against the Radeon R7 M350, it is 0.9% slower (6270 vs 6327). These deltas are small, indicating that the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits in a tightly packed performance cluster near the top of its percentile range.

The FirePro M4000's nearest-rival deltas are similarly tight. It beats the GeForce MX130 by 0.5% (5537 vs 5508), the GeForce GTX 765M by 0.7% (5537 vs 5501), and the Radeon R7 M440 by 1% (5537 vs 5483). It loses to the Quadro M500M by 1.2% (5537 vs 5604). The FirePro M4000 is the median performer in its immediate peer group, with a spread of less than 2% across five GPUs.

The biggest win in the entire dataset belongs to the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER when compared to the FirePro M4000's rival cluster. The NVIDIA card's average score of 6270 is 13.2% higher than the AMD card's 5537. Even accounting for the different benchmark types, the numerical gap is substantial. However, the FirePro M4000's advantage lies in efficiency: it delivers its compute score at a 33 W TDP, versus the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's 350 W. That is a 10.6x difference in power draw, which matters for mobile or thermally constrained systems.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different eras and design philosophies. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip, built on NVIDIA's Blackwell 2.0 architecture. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The die contains 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² slice of silicon, yielding a transistor density of 120.6 million per square millimeter. The FirePro M4000 uses the Chelsea chip, based on AMD's GCN 1.0 architecture. It is fabricated on a 28 nm process at TSMC, with 1,500 million transistors on a 123 mm² die, for a density of 12.2 million per square millimeter. The density difference is nearly 10x, reflecting the generational leap in manufacturing.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER features dedicated ray tracing cores (70 of them) and tensor cores (280 of them). These are absent from the FirePro M4000, which has no RT or tensor hardware. The NVIDIA card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the AMD card supports DirectX 12 (11_1), a lower feature level. Vulkan support also differs: the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER runs Vulkan 1.4, the FirePro M4000 runs Vulkan 1.2.170. OpenGL support is identical at 4.6.

The memory subsystem is another major divide. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, with 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The FirePro M4000 uses 1024 MB (1 GB) of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus, with 64.00 GB/s. That is a 14x difference in capacity and a 14x difference in bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's memory clock is 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective), while the FirePro M4000's memory clock is 1000 MHz (4 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA card also has a far larger compute footprint: 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, versus the AMD card's 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs.

The manufacturing dates tell the story: the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER was released on 2025-12-31, while the FirePro M4000 arrived on 2012-06-26. That is a 13-year gap. The FirePro M4000 is end-of-life, succeeded by Radeon Pro Mobile, and preceded by FirePro Mobility. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is active, with no predecessor or successor listed.
