AMD Radeon 760M vs AMD Radeon RX 9050 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison: the AMD Radeon 760M has a complete set of benchmark results, while the AMD Radeon RX 9050 has no recorded benchmarks in the database. This means the head-to-head comparison relies entirely on the 760M's measured performance and the 9050's architectural specifications, rather than direct score-to-score matchups.

The 760M's average benchmark score is 6,019, placing it at the 35th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon RX 6400 with an average score of 6,001 (a 0.3% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M at 6,000 (0.3% delta), and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server at 5,996 (0.4% delta). The NVIDIA Quadro P2000 scores 6,049, putting the 760M 0.5% behind. These tight margins indicate the 760M sits in a dense performance cluster where small differences separate entries.

In individual tests, the 760M shows its strongest result in Geekbench Vulkan with a score of 30,336, followed by Geekbench OpenCL at 20,255. The Passmark G3D score is 5,310, while Passmark G2D reaches 890. Compute workloads yield a Passmark GPU Compute score of 2,840. Legacy DirectX tests show lower numbers: Passmark DirectX 9 scores 65, DirectX 11 scores 52, DirectX 10 scores 19, and DirectX 12 scores 25. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test records 400.

Because the RX 9050 has no benchmark scores, its percentile ranking of 50 is derived from its specification position rather than measured results. The database shows zero wins for either product in head-to-head matchups, reflecting the absence of direct comparison data.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different generations of AMD's RDNA architecture. The 760M uses RDNA 3.0, belongs to the Navi III IGP (Phoenix) generation, and is built on the Phoenix chip. The RX 9050 uses RDNA 4.0, belongs to the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation, and is built on the Navi 44 chip. Both use a 4 nm process node from TSMC, but the transistor counts differ: the 760M packs 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, while the RX 9050 contains 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die. Transistor density is 142.6 million per mm² for the 760M and 149.2 million per mm² for the RX 9050.

The 760M is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a 15 W TDP, no power connectors, and a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface. The RX 9050 is a discrete dual-slot card with a 92 W TDP, one 8-pin power connector, a suggested PSU of 250 W, and a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. Display outputs differ as well: the 760M depends on motherboard outputs, while the RX 9050 provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 2x DisplayPort 2.1a.

Clock speeds show a notable gap. The 760M runs at a base of 800 MHz and boosts to 2,599 MHz. The RX 9050 has a base of 1,330 MHz, a boost of 2,600 MHz, and a game clock of 1,920 MHz. Memory configurations are fundamentally different: the 760M uses system-shared memory with system-dependent bandwidth, while the RX 9050 features 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth and an effective memory speed of 18 Gbps.

Compute resources scale substantially. The 760M has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, 16 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. The RX 9050 doubles these figures to 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 16 ray tracing cores. Pixel rate jumps from 41.58 GPixel/s on the 760M to 166.4 GPixel/s on the RX 9050, and texture rate rises from 83.17 GTexel/s to 166.4 GTexel/s. FP32 and FP16 performance both measure 5.323 TFLOPS on the 760M, while the RX 9050 reaches 10.65 TFLOPS in both. Neither GPU includes tensor cores.

API support is identical: both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 760M wins in efficiency and integration. Its 15 W TDP makes it suitable for compact systems without dedicated power delivery, and its IGP form factor requires no slot space or auxiliary power connectors. The 760M's benchmark results show it can handle a range of workloads: Geekbench Vulkan at 30,336 and OpenCL at 20,255 indicate solid compute capability, while Passmark G3D at 5,310 reflects general 3D rendering performance. Its position at the 35th percentile places it near dedicated entry-level cards like the RX 6400 and GTX 770M, which it edges by 0.3% in average score.

The AMD Radeon RX 9050 wins on raw specification strength. It doubles the 760M's shading units, TMUs, and ray tracing cores, and quadruples ROPs from 16 to 64. Pixel rate of 166.4 GPixel/s is exactly 4 times the 760M's 41.58 GPixel/s, and texture rate doubles from 83.17 GTexel/s to 166.4 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput doubles from 5.323 TFLOPS to 10.65 TFLOPS. The dedicated 8 GB GDDR6 memory with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth eliminates the system-shared memory bottleneck, and the PCIe 5.0 x16 interface provides substantially more bandwidth than the 760M's PCIe 4.0 x8 connection. The 50th percentile ranking, while not based on measured scores, reflects the higher specification tier.

The 760M's release date of 2024-01-30 predates the RX 9050's 2026-07-27 by roughly two and a half years, and its predecessor is the Navi II IGP, while the RX 9050 succeeds the Navi III generation. The RX 9050's 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die represent a 4,310 million transistor increase over the 760M, with a corresponding die size increase of 21 mm². Both GPUs remain in active production.

For systems where power delivery and physical space are constrained, the 760M's integrated design with no power connectors and motherboard-dependent outputs offers flexibility. For workloads demanding higher throughput, the RX 9050's doubled compute resources, dedicated memory, and 64 ROPs provide a clear architectural advantage, though no direct benchmark scores exist in the database to quantify the performance gap.
