AMD FirePro S7150 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records two direct benchmark comparisons between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and the AMD FirePro S7150, and in both cases the result is a decisive victory for the newer GeForce part. The largest gap appears in Geekbench OpenCL, where the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scores 199,267 against the FirePro S7150's 26,543. That is a 650.7% advantage, meaning the NVIDIA card delivers roughly seven and a half times the raw compute throughput in this particular workload. For context, the FirePro S7150's average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 28,117, which places it in the 73rd percentile of all GPUs. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, averages 31,087 across its full benchmark suite and sits in the 76th percentile. The OpenCL result is not a marginal win; it is a generational gap made visible in a single number.

The second head-to-head test, Geekbench Vulkan, shows a smaller but still substantial margin. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scores 53,683, while the FirePro S7150 manages 29,690. That works out to an 80.8% lead for the NVIDIA card. Vulkan is a lower-level API that tends to favor more modern architectures, and the data reflects that: the FirePro S7150's GCN 3.0 design was built for an era before Vulkan matured, and its score here is roughly half of what the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER produces. Across both recorded benchmarks, the NVIDIA card wins 2 out of 2, with no test favoring the AMD part.

Looking at the broader benchmark picture, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's average score of 31,087 puts it just slightly behind a cluster of near-identical rivals. The NVIDIA Quadro M5000 averages 31,206 (0.4% higher), the GRID M60-1Q averages 31,220 (0.4% higher), and the RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell averages 31,532 (1.4% higher). Even the TITAN RTX, a flagship from a previous generation, only edges it by 1.9%. This tells you that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is sitting right at the top of a very tight performance band, where a few hundred points separate cards that are otherwise considered peers. The FirePro S7150, with its 28,117 average, is in a different neighborhood entirely, trading blows with the GeForce GTX 980 Ti (28,020, 0.3% behind), the Radeon Pro W5500X (27,973, 0.5% behind), and the RX 7800M (27,883, 0.8% behind). The data suggests the FirePro is competitive with mid-range GPUs from its own era, but it is not in the same class as the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from completely different architectural lineages. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is built on Ada Lovelace, the architecture behind the GeForce 40-series. It uses the AD103 chip, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The die measures 379 mm² and packs 45,900 million transistors, giving it a transistor density of 121.1 million per square millimeter. The AMD FirePro S7150, by contrast, uses the Tonga chip based on GCN 3.0, fabricated on a 28 nm process, also at TSMC. Its die is 366 mm², slightly smaller than the NVIDIA chip, but it holds only 5,000 million transistors. That works out to 13.7 million per square millimeter, a density less than one-eighth of the Ada Lovelace chip. The node difference alone explains a large portion of the performance gap: 5 nm versus 28 nm is a massive jump in manufacturing capability.

The compute resources tell a similar story. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 8,448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operation units. It also includes 66 dedicated ray tracing cores and 264 tensor cores, features that simply do not exist on the FirePro S7150. The AMD card has 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with no ray tracing or tensor core hardware at all. In terms of raw throughput, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER delivers 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and the same 44.10 TFLOPS of FP16 (at a 1:1 ratio). The FirePro S7150 manages 3.768 TFLOPS of FP32 and 7.537 TFLOPS of FP16, the latter at a 2:1 ratio. The pixel rate is 250.6 GPixel/s for the NVIDIA card versus 29.44 GPixel/s for the AMD card, and the texture rate is 689.0 GTexel/s versus 117.8 GTexel/s. Every compute metric favors the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER by a wide margin, often by an order of magnitude or more.

API support also diverges. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The FirePro S7150 supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.170. The DirectX 12_2 feature level on the NVIDIA card enables hardware ray tracing and mesh shaders, neither of which the AMD card can handle. The Vulkan version difference (1.4 versus 1.2.170) also points to newer driver and feature support on the GeForce side.

Specification Differences

The most obvious difference is memory. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s. The FirePro S7150 has 8 GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus, with memory at 1250 MHz (5 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 160.0 GB/s. That is a 4.2x bandwidth advantage for the NVIDIA card, which directly impacts fill-rate-heavy workloads and large dataset processing.

The process node differs as noted: 5 nm versus 28 nm, both at TSMC. Transistor count is 45,900 million versus 5,000 million, and die size is 379 mm² versus 366 mm². The power envelope is also different. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER has a TDP of 285 W, uses a triple-slot cooler, and requires a single 16-pin power connector with a suggested 600 W power supply. The FirePro S7150 has a TDP of 150 W, uses a single-slot cooler, and runs off a single 6-pin connector with a suggested 450 W power supply. The AMD card is physically smaller: 241 mm (9.5 inches) long and 111 mm (4.4 inches) tall, versus 310 mm (12.2 inches) long and 140 mm (5.5 inches) tall for the NVIDIA card. The AMD card has no display outputs at all, being a server-oriented part, while the NVIDIA card offers 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

The bus interface differs as well: PCIe 4.0 x16 on the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER versus PCIe 3.0 x16 on the FirePro S7150. The clock speeds are not directly comparable because the AMD card lists no base or boost clock in the database, only a memory clock. The NVIDIA card runs at a 2340 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER also has 264 tensor cores and 66 RT cores, while the FirePro S7150 has none of either.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins every benchmark category where both cards have recorded data. In OpenCL, it dominates to a degree that suggests completely different use cases. In Vulkan, it leads by a strong but less extreme margin. If you need raw compute, ray tracing, or modern API features, the data points overwhelmingly to the NVIDIA card. Its 44.10 TFLOPS of FP32 and 672.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth make it suitable for heavy GPU compute tasks, modern gaming at high resolutions, and any workload that benefits from tensor cores (AI inference, for example) or RT cores (ray-traced rendering). The 16 GB VRAM also gives it headroom for large textures, complex scenes, or multi-model AI workloads.

The FirePro S7150, on the other hand, does not win any recorded benchmark. Its strengths are relative, not absolute. It draws only 150 W, fits in a single slot, and has no display outputs, which makes it a low-power, low-profile option for server environments where space and power are constrained. Its 8 GB of GDDR5 and 160.0 GB/s bandwidth are modest but adequate for legacy compute tasks that do not demand modern features. With a 73rd percentile ranking, it is not a slow card by historical standards; it just happens to be paired against a card that is several generations newer and several times faster. The FirePro's 2:1 FP16 ratio (7.537 TFLOPS) gives it a slight edge in half-precision workloads relative to its own FP32 performance, but even that number is far below the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 44.10 TFLOPS in both precisions.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the faster card in every measured category. It wins both head-to-head benchmarks, has a higher average benchmark score (31,087 versus 28,117), and holds a higher percentile rank (76th versus 73rd). The OpenCL gap of 650.7% is not a close call, it is a total mismatch. The Vulkan gap of 80.8% is also decisive. If you are choosing between these two based on performance alone, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the only rational pick.

That said, the FirePro S7150 has a place. Its 150 W TDP, single-slot design, and lack of display outputs make it a fit for dense server deployments where the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER's 285 W TDP and triple-slot cooler would be impractical. The AMD card also supports the same OpenGL 4.6 as the NVIDIA card, so legacy OpenGL workloads will run, just much slower. For a builder assembling a compute node with strict power and space limits, the FirePro S7150 is a reasonable, if dated, option. For anyone who needs performance, modern API support, or any form of ray tracing, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the clear choice. The launch MSRP for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is 799 USD, and for the FirePro S7150 it is 2,399 USD. The performance data suggests the NVIDIA card delivers far more capability per dollar, though pricing comparisons are not the focus of this analysis. In short: pick the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER for any performance-sensitive task, and reserve the FirePro S7150 for low-power, no-display server roles where its constraints are an asset.
