AMD Radeon 680M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

AMD Radeon 680M is an integrated graphics processor built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture, while NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a discrete graphics card based on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture. The benchmark data in the database places these two products in different performance tiers, with the discrete card holding a substantial lead in the single available head-to-head test.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one direct comparison between these two products: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In this benchmark, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6269.5 points, while the AMD Radeon 680M scores 378 points. The delta percentage is -94%, meaning the integrated GPU trails the discrete card by 94% in this workload. This is a decisive victory for the NVIDIA product, reflecting the fundamental performance gap between an integrated solution and a high-end discrete card.

The average benchmark score further illustrates the division. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER holds an average score of 6270 across its recorded tests, while the Radeon 680M averages 15270. However, this comparison is skewed because the two products have different benchmark suites recorded in the database. The Radeon 680M has scores from Geekbench OpenCL (23468) and Geekbench Vulkan (21965) in addition to its Steel Nomad result, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER only has the Steel Nomad result. The compute-oriented Geekbench tests boost the integrated GPU's average, but the Steel Nomad result, which is the only directly comparable metric, shows the NVIDIA card as the clear winner.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile among all GPUs in the database, while the Radeon 680M sits at the 57th percentile. This is an unusual pairing of percentile rankings with the actual performance data, but the head-to-head result remains unambiguous: the discrete card outperforms the integrated GPU by a wide margin in the DX12 gaming workload.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in every directly comparable metric. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5 versus 378 for the AMD Radeon 680M demonstrates a massive advantage in gaming workloads. The card delivers 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, a figure that dwarfs the 3.379 TFLOPS of the integrated GPU. Its 235.4 GPixel/s pixel rate and 686.6 GTexel/s texture rate also far exceed the 70.40 GPixel/s and 105.6 GTexel/s of the Radeon 680M. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also brings 70 ray tracing cores and 280 tensor cores, enabling hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI workloads that the Radeon 680M cannot match at the same level.

The AMD Radeon 680M wins in efficiency and portability. Its 50 W TDP allows it to operate without power connectors, making it suitable for compact systems. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 23468 and Vulkan score of 21965 show that the integrated GPU is capable in compute tasks relative to its power envelope. Its 6 nm process node and 208 mm² die size make it a small, low-power solution. The integrated nature of the 680M means it is a complete graphics solution without the need for a separate card, which suits thin-and-light systems.

Specification Differences

The two products differ across nearly every specification category. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses a 5 nm process node, while the AMD Radeon 680M uses 6 nm. Both are fabricated by TSMC. The discrete card has a die size of 378 mm² and 45,600 million transistors, while the integrated GPU has a die size of 208 mm² and 13,100 million transistors. Transistor density is 120.6M per mm² for the NVIDIA card and 63.0M per mm² for the AMD chip.

Clock speeds differ as well. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz, while the Radeon 680M has a base clock of 2000 MHz and a boost clock of 2200 MHz. Memory configurations are entirely different: the NVIDIA card has 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s bandwidth, while the AMD chip uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth.

The bus interface also differs. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Radeon 680M uses PCIe 4.0 x8. Physical dimensions are only recorded for the NVIDIA card: 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a dual-slot card with a 350 W TDP and a single 16-pin power connector. The Radeon 680M is an IGP with no slot width requirement and no power connectors.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 680M is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture and belongs to the Navi II IGP generation with the Rembrandt+ chip. It is a 6 nm part with 13,100 million transistors. The GPU features 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 32 render output units, and 12 ray tracing cores. It has no tensor cores. Its FP16 performance is 6.758 TFLOPS at a 2:1 ratio, meaning it can process half-precision at twice the rate of single-precision. The predecessor is Vega II IGP and the successor is Navi III IGP, placing it in a lineage of integrated graphics solutions.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and belongs to the GeForce 50-series generation with the GB203 chip. It is a 5 nm part with 45,600 million transistors. The GPU has 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, 96 render output units, 70 ray tracing cores, and 280 tensor cores. Its FP16 performance is 43.94 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio, matching its FP32 output. The display outputs are 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b, while the Radeon 680M has portable device dependent outputs. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The architectural differences reflect their intended roles. The RDNA 2.0 integrated GPU is designed for power efficiency and basic compute, while the Blackwell 2.0 discrete card is designed for maximum throughput with dedicated tensor cores for AI workloads and a larger ray tracing array. The transistor count difference of 32,500 million and the density difference of 57.6M per mm² highlight the scale gap between the two designs.

The Verdict

The data clearly separates these two products by intended use case. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the choice for anyone running DX12 gaming workloads, as its Steel Nomad score of 6269.5 versus 378 for the AMD Radeon 680M demonstrates. Its 16 GB of GDDR7 memory, 896.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 performance make it a high-end discrete solution. Its launch MSRP is 749 USD, and its 350 W TDP requires a suitable power supply and case clearance for a 304 mm dual-slot card.

The AMD Radeon 680M is the choice for compact, low-power systems where integrated graphics are a requirement. Its 50 W TDP, lack of power connectors, and system shared memory make it a straightforward solution for portable devices. Its Geekbench scores of 23468 in OpenCL and 21965 in Vulkan indicate respectable compute performance for an integrated part, though its Steam Nomad score of 378 places it far behind the discrete option in gaming.

The decision between these two products is not a competitive comparison but a question of system design. A system that needs a discrete GPU with high memory bandwidth and tensor core support will use the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. A system that needs an integrated graphics solution with minimal power draw will use the Radeon 680M. The recorded data offers no scenario where the integrated GPU matches the discrete card in performance, and no scenario where the discrete card matches the integrated GPU in power efficiency.
