AMD Radeon 740M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

The Verdict

The data presents two processors with entirely different roles. The AMD Radeon 740M is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) built on the Phoenix2 chip, designed for compact systems where a dedicated card is not an option. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a high-end discrete GPU based on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, targeting demanding workloads. The benchmark results place the 740M at the 53rd percentile among all GPUs, with an average score of 12,870. The 5070 Ti SUPER, while showing a 36th percentile ranking, delivers a vastly higher absolute score of 6,270 in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, a result that is not directly comparable to the 740M's Geekbench scores. The data indicates that the 5070 Ti SUPER is the only choice for high-resolution gaming and compute-heavy tasks, while the 740M serves the low-power integrated segment. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a launch MSRP of 749 USD.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs diverge fundamentally in their design philosophy. The AMD Radeon 740M utilizes the RDNA 3.0 architecture on a 4 nm TSMC process, packing 20,900 million transistors onto a 137 mm² die. This results in a high transistor density of 152.6M per mm². In contrast, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on a larger 5 nm process, with 45,600 million transistors across a 378 mm² die, yielding a lower density of 120.6M per mm². The 740M is an integrated part with system-shared memory, while the 5070 Ti SUPER is a discrete card with 16 GB of dedicated GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The 740M relies on system memory with bandwidth described as system dependent.

Compute resources show a massive gap. The 740M has 256 shading units, 16 TMUs, and 8 ROPs, alongside 4 RT cores. The 5070 Ti SUPER features 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, and 96 ROPs, with 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores. The clock speeds differ significantly: the 740M boosts to 2800 MHz, while the 5070 Ti SUPER operates at a lower boost clock of 2452 MHz but with far more execution units. The 740M's FP32 throughput is 2.867 TFLOPS, while the 5070 Ti SUPER reaches 43.94 TFLOPS, a 15-fold difference. The 740M uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface and has no power connectors, fitting a 45 W TDP. The 5070 Ti SUPER requires a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and a single 16-pin connector, consuming up to 350 W. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 740M wins in scenarios requiring minimal power draw and physical space. Its 45 W TDP and IGP form factor make it suitable for thin notebooks or mini PCs where a discrete GPU cannot fit. Its benchmark scores in Geekbench OpenCL (10,172) and Vulkan (15,568) show it can handle basic graphics acceleration and light gaming. Its average score of 12,870 places it near the AMD FirePro W5100 (12,847, 0.2% higher) and the AMD Radeon Pro 455 (12,831, 0.3% higher), showing it performs in the same bracket as older workstation GPUs.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins decisively in raw performance. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,269.5 reflects its capability in modern rendering workloads. Its 16 GB GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth support high-resolution textures and large datasets. The 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for ray tracing and AI inference. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (6,270, 0% delta), indicating the 5070 Ti SUPER matches that card's performance level. The 740M cannot compete in any performance metric against the 5070 Ti SUPER; the data shows no head-to-head benchmark wins for either processor, but the absolute scores make the hierarchy clear.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon 740M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, and neither processor records a win in direct comparison. However, the individual benchmark results provide a clear performance hierarchy. The 740M's Geekbench Vulkan score is 15,568, a strong result for an integrated processor. Its OpenCL score is 10,172. The 5070 Ti SUPER's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 6,269.5. This test is a modern, DirectX 12 workload designed for high-end discrete GPUs, and the 740M was not run in this test.

The 740M's average score of 12,870 places it in a cluster with older discrete cards. It is 0.2% ahead of the AMD FirePro W5100 (12,847) and 0.3% ahead of both the AMD Radeon Pro 455 (12,831) and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 (12,830). It trails the AMD Radeon RX 580 (12,928) by 0.4%. These deltas are within a narrow band, showing the 740M delivers performance equivalent to those legacy cards.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's score of 6,270 is exactly matched by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (6,270, 0% delta). It is 0.8% ahead of the AMD FirePro W600 (6,223) and 0.9% behind the AMD Radeon R7 M350 (6,327). The 5070 Ti SUPER shows a 36th percentile ranking across all GPUs, which is lower than the 740M's 53rd percentile, but this is a function of the different benchmark suites used. The 740M's percentile is derived from Geekbench scores, while the 5070 Ti SUPER's is from 3DMark Steel Nomad. The raw FP32 throughput difference is stark: 2.867 TFLOPS for the 740M versus 43.94 TFLOPS for the 5070 Ti SUPER. Texture rate is 44.80 GTexel/s versus 686.6 GTexel/s, and pixel rate is 22.40 GPixel/s versus 235.4 GPixel/s. These figures confirm the 5070 Ti SUPER is in a different performance class, suited for 4K gaming and professional rendering, while the 740M targets basic multimedia and light gaming.
