AMD Radeon 740M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 740M and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER occupy entirely different segments of the GPU spectrum, and the recorded benchmark data reflects that separation clearly. The Radeon 740M is an integrated graphics processor built on the Phoenix2 chip, using the RDNA 3.0 architecture, and it posts two benchmark results in the database. The RTX 5070 SUPER is a discrete, dual-slot GeForce 50-series card based on the GB205 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, and it has one recorded benchmark score.

Looking at the available measurements, the AMD Radeon 740M shows a Geekbench OpenCL score of 10172 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 15568. Its average benchmark score across those two tests is 12870. That average places the 740M at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs in the database. The RTX 5070 SUPER, by contrast, has a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690, which puts it at the 18th percentile among all GPUs. The percentile difference is notable: the integrated AMD part sits above half of the database, while the discrete NVIDIA card sits in the lower quintile based on the single test recorded.

The wins, therefore, are split by workload type. The Radeon 740M wins in the two Geekbench compute tests that are available for it, particularly in Vulkan where it reaches 15568. The RTX 5070 SUPER wins in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, which is the only benchmark recorded for that card. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, so there are no directly comparable same-test measurements between the two. The database records winsA as 0 and winsB as 0, meaning neither card has a direct comparative win in a shared test. The practical interpretation is that the 740M demonstrates stronger performance in the OpenCL and Vulkan compute workloads it was measured with, while the RTX 5070 SUPER delivers its result in a modern DX12 gaming workload.

The Verdict

The data indicates that these two products serve different purposes and should be selected based on the workload being targeted. The AMD Radeon 740M, with an average benchmark score of 12870 and a 53rd percentile ranking, sits in the middle of the database distribution. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD FirePro W5100 (avg score 12847, delta 0.2%), the AMD Radeon Pro 455 (avg score 12831, delta 0.3%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 (avg score 12830, delta 0.3%), and the AMD Radeon RX 580 (avg score 12928, delta -0.4%). The Radeon 740M is effectively neck-and-neck with these cards, trailing the RX 580 by only 0.4% and leading the other three by margins of 0.2% to 0.3%.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, with an average benchmark score of 2690 and an 18th percentile ranking, sits much lower in the database distribution. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (avg score 2664, delta 1%), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (avg score 2662, delta 1.1%), the Intel Arc Pro B50 (avg score 2660, delta 1.1%), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 (avg score 2645, delta 1.7%). The RTX 5070 SUPER leads each of these by 1% to 1.7%, but the absolute scores are far lower than the Radeon 740M's average.

The verdict from the recorded data is straightforward: for compute-oriented benchmarks like Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan, the Radeon 740M is the stronger part by a wide margin. For the specific DX12 test recorded for the RTX 5070 SUPER, the NVIDIA card delivers a result that places it in the lower portion of the database, though it does lead its nearest rivals by a small amount. Neither card has direct head-to-head data, so the selection depends on which benchmark suite is relevant to the intended use. The 740M's 53rd percentile and 12870 average indicate a mid-pack compute performer. The RTX 5070 SUPER's 18th percentile and 2690 average indicate a weaker standing in the database based on its single DX12 result.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark list between these two products is empty, so there are no directly comparable same-test scores. The analysis must instead rely on the individual benchmark results recorded for each card.

The AMD Radeon 740M delivers its strongest recorded result in Geekbench Vulkan with a score of 15568. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 10172, which is notably lower, indicating that the Vulkan path is significantly stronger for this integrated GPU. The gap between the two scores is 5396 points, meaning the Vulkan result is approximately 53% higher than the OpenCL result. This is a meaningful internal difference worth highlighting for anyone using compute APIs on this part.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER has only one recorded benchmark: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 with a score of 2690. This test is a modern DX12 workload, and the score places the card at the 18th percentile. Its nearest rival, the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M, scores 2664, which is 1% lower. The GeForce GT 1030 scores 2662, also 1% lower. The Intel Arc Pro B50 scores 2660, 1.1% lower. The GeForce GT 440 scores 2645, 1.7% lower. The RTX 5070 SUPER leads all four of these rivals, but the margins are small, ranging from 1% to 1.7%.

Comparing the two cards directly using their average scores, the Radeon 740M's 12870 average is roughly 4.8 times higher than the RTX 5070 SUPER's 2690 average. The percentile standings reinforce this: 53rd percentile versus 18th percentile. In the database's distribution, the Radeon 740M is positioned above half of all GPUs, while the RTX 5070 SUPER is positioned below the majority.

The biggest win for the Radeon 740M is its Geekbench Vulkan score of 15568, which is the highest single result recorded for either card. The biggest win for the RTX 5070 SUPER is its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690, which is the only result recorded for that card and serves as its sole data point in the database.
