AMD FirePro S9300 X2 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile Comparison

The benchmark data is unambiguous: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile decisively outperforms the AMD FirePro S9300 X2 in every measured test. With two wins and zero for the AMD card, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile leads by margins ranging from 275% to over 414% in the available head-to-head comparisons. This is not a close contest; it is a generational and architectural rout.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The most striking result comes from the Geekbench OpenCL test, where the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 143,870 points against the AMD FirePro S9300 X2’s 27,971 points. This translates to a 414.4% advantage for the NVIDIA part, meaning it delivers more than five times the raw compute performance in this API. The gap is so large that it eclipses any other consideration for compute-heavy workloads.

In the Geekbench Vulkan test, the NVIDIA card again dominates, posting 139,213 points versus 37,109 for the AMD FirePro S9300 X2. The delta here is 275.1% in favor of the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile. While slightly narrower than the OpenCL margin, this still represents a near-fourfold performance lead. The data shows that regardless of the graphics API chosen, the NVIDIA solution is overwhelmingly faster.

Looking at the broader benchmark context, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile’s average benchmark score sits at 35,435, which places it in the 80th percentile of all GPUs. The FirePro S9300 X2’s average score is 32,540, good for the 77th percentile. While the percentile gap appears modest, the head-to-head deltas reveal the true scale of the performance disparity — the averages are pulled down by the NVIDIA card’s weaker legacy DirectX scores, which are not part of the direct comparison.

For context on the NVIDIA card’s standing, its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 (average score 35,520, a mere 0.2% difference), the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (35,860, 1.2% higher), and the NVIDIA T1000 (36,289, 2.4% higher). The FirePro S9300 X2, by contrast, trades blows with the AMD Radeon RX 590 GME (32,601, 0.2% lower), the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE (32,456, 0.3% higher), and the AMD FirePro S10000 (32,388, 0.5% higher). The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile competes in a higher performance tier altogether.

Architecture Differences

The architectural chasm between these two cards explains the benchmark results. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture using the GB205 chip, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It packs 31,100 million transistors into a 263 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 118.3 million per square millimeter. The AMD FirePro S9300 X2, in contrast, uses the older GCN 3.0 architecture with the Capsaicin chip, fabricated on a 28 nm process. It contains only 8,900 million transistors spread across a much larger 596 mm² die, resulting in a density of just 14.9 million transistors per square millimeter.

Memory configurations diverge sharply. The NVIDIA card features 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The AMD card offers only 4 GB of HBM memory but on a vastly wider 4096-bit bus, achieving 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Despite the wider bus, the NVIDIA card still provides 31% more bandwidth, and the 8 GB capacity advantage is decisive for modern workloads.

Compute resources tell a similar story. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile houses 5,888 shading units, 184 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. It also includes 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores, features entirely absent from the FirePro S9300 X2. The AMD card has 4,096 shading units, 256 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, but no dedicated RT or tensor hardware. The NVIDIA card’s pixel rate is 115.8 GPixel/s versus 62.40 GPixel/s for AMD, while texture rates are 266.2 GTexel/s versus 249.6 GTexel/s.

The FP32 compute figures are stark: the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile delivers 17.04 TFLOPS, more than double the FirePro S9300 X2’s 7.987 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA card also matches FP16 at 17.04 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio), while the AMD card’s FP16 capability is not specified. Power consumption reflects the performance gap inversely: the NVIDIA mobile part sips 60 W with an IGP slot width and no power connectors, while the AMD server card demands 300 W, a dual-slot design, and dual 8-pin connectors, with a suggested 700 W power supply.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins in every scenario where modern graphics features matter. Its 12 GB GDDR7 frame buffer with higher bandwidth supports larger textures and datasets. The inclusion of ray tracing and tensor cores enables hardware-accelerated ray-traced effects and AI-driven features like DLSS, which the AMD card cannot perform. The 5 nm process and 60 W TDP make it suitable for thin-and-light portable devices, as its "Portable Device Dependent" display outputs and "IGP" slot width indicate.

The AMD FirePro S9300 X2 has no benchmark wins to claim. Its only advantages are structural rather than performance-based. The 4096-bit memory bus is wider, though it does not translate to superior bandwidth. Its 256 TMUs exceed the NVIDIA card’s 184, but the texture rate is still lower. The dual-slot, 267 mm length, and 111 mm height suggest a server-oriented design, and its "No outputs" configuration confirms it is intended for compute-only rack deployment. Its 4 GB HBM capacity and PCIe 3.0 x16 interface are dated compared to the NVIDIA card’s PCIe 5.0 x16.

For legacy API compatibility, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The FirePro S9300 X2 supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.170. The NVIDIA card’s newer DirectX feature level and higher Vulkan version give it better forward compatibility. The AMD card’s only edge is its older production status — it launched in 2016 and is now end-of-life, whereas the NVIDIA card launched in 2025 and remains active.

The Verdict

The data-driven verdict is simple: choose the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile for any workload that values raw performance, modern features, or efficiency. It wins both head-to-head benchmarks by margins of 275% and 414%, offers more than double the FP32 compute, and provides ray tracing and tensor cores that the AMD card lacks entirely. Its 60 W power draw versus 300 W makes it viable for mobile devices, while the AMD card requires a server chassis with a 700 W power supply recommendation.

The AMD FirePro S9300 X2 should only be selected if the workload specifically requires a dual-slot, compute-only server card with no display outputs and can tolerate a 4 GB memory limit. Its 77th percentile standing places it below the NVIDIA card’s 80th percentile, and its nearest rivals are all lower-tier cards. The 2016 release date and end-of-life status further cement that this is legacy hardware.

For gamers, creators, or professionals needing portable performance, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the only rational choice. For server administrators with power budgets and space for a dual-slot, 267 mm card, the FirePro S9300 X2 might still function, but the benchmark data shows it will deliver a fraction of the performance. The verdict is not close.
