AMD Radeon 760M vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only two directly comparable benchmark results in the database are Geekbench OpenCL and Geekbench Vulkan, and both decisively favor the AMD Radeon 760M. In the OpenCL test, the AMD part scores 20,255 points against 5,604 for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M. That is a 261.4% advantage, meaning the AMD Radeon 760M delivers more than three and a half times the raw compute throughput in this particular workload.

The Vulkan gap is even larger. The AMD Radeon 760M scores 30,336 points, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M manages only 4,868 points. The delta works out to 523.2%, which means the AMD part is roughly six times faster in this API-level test. For context, the AMD Radeon 760M sits at the 35th percentile of all GPUs in the database, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M sits at the 31st percentile. The percentile gap is modest, but the head-to-head deltas are not.

Beyond those two shared tests, the database contains additional benchmark entries for the AMD Radeon 760M that have no counterpart in the GTX 760M record. The AMD part posts a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 400, a Passmark G3D score of 5,310, a Passmark GPU Compute score of 2,840, and a Passmark G2D score of 890. It also shows legacy DirectX scores: 65 for DX9, 52 for DX11, 25 for DX12, and 19 for DX10. The GTX 760M has no recorded results for any of those tests, so no direct comparison is possible there. The overall average benchmark score for the AMD Radeon 760M is 6,019, versus 5,236 for the NVIDIA part, a difference of roughly 15% in the aggregate.

The nearest rival data places each card in context. The AMD Radeon 760M is within 0.3% of the AMD Radeon RX 6400 and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M, and within 0.4% of the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server, while trailing the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 by 0.5%. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M is within 0.5% of the NVIDIA Quadro 4000M, within 1.5% of the AMD Radeon R7 M260X, and trails the NVIDIA GeForce 940M by 0.9% and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M by 1.3%. In short, the AMD Radeon 760M competes with a much newer class of discrete GPUs, while the GTX 760M sits alongside older mobile parts.

The Verdict

The data points in a single direction. The AMD Radeon 760M wins both head-to-head benchmarks, and wins them by enormous margins. In Geekbench OpenCL, it leads by 261.4%. In Geekbench Vulkan, it leads by 523.2%. There is no recorded test in which the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M comes out ahead.

The AMD Radeon 760M also has a higher average benchmark score, 6,019 versus 5,236, and a higher percentile rank, 35th versus 31st. The GTX 760M is an end-of-life product, while the Radeon 760M is listed as Active in the database. The GTX 760M was released in 2013 and belongs to the GeForce 700M generation; the Radeon 760M was released in 2024 and belongs to the Navi III IGP generation. That eleven-year gap in release timing is consistent with the observed performance delta.

For anyone choosing between these two for a new build, the Radeon 760M is the only rational pick based on the recorded data. For anyone comparing used or legacy hardware, the GTX 760M offers no advantage in any measured metric. The one caveat is that the GTX 760M has a dedicated 2 GB GDDR5 memory pool with 64.13 GB/s bandwidth, whereas the Radeon 760M relies on system-shared memory, but the benchmark results do not indicate that the GTX 760M's dedicated memory translates into any compute or graphics win.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from completely different design eras. The AMD Radeon 760M uses the Phoenix chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It packs 25,390 million transistors into a 178 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 142.6 million transistors per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M uses the GK106S chip built on the Kepler architecture, manufactured on a 28 nm process at the same foundry. It contains 2,540 million transistors on a 221 mm² die, for a density of only 11.5 million transistors per square millimeter.

The AMD chip is smaller in physical area but carries roughly ten times the transistor count. That alone explains much of the performance gap. The Radeon 760M is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a 15 W TDP, while the GTX 760M is an MXM module with a 55 W TDP. The AMD part draws far less power while delivering far more performance.

Clock speeds differ sharply. The Radeon 760M runs at an 800 MHz base and boosts to 2,599 MHz. The GTX 760M runs at a 628 MHz base and boosts to 719 MHz, with memory clocked at 1002 MHz or 4 Gbps effective. The Radeon's boost clock is more than 3.6 times the GTX 760M's boost clock.

Shading hardware also differs. The Radeon 760M has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, 16 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. The GTX 760M has 768 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 16 ROPs, but no ray tracing cores. The GTX 760M has more shading units and TMUs on paper, but the Radeon's much higher clocks and modern architecture overcome that deficit.

The Radeon 760M supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The GTX 760M supports DirectX 12 (11_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.175. The Radeon's newer feature set includes hardware ray tracing support, which the Kepler chip lacks entirely.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 760M wins in every recorded benchmark category. It wins the two head-to-head tests, OpenCL and Vulkan, by margins of 261.4% and 523.2% respectively. It also has the higher average benchmark score, the higher percentile ranking, and the more modern feature set. The Radeon 760M supports DirectX 12 Ultimate with ray tracing, while the GTX 760M tops out at DirectX 12 (11_0) with no ray tracing support.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760M wins in one narrow respect: it has a dedicated 2 GB GDDR5 frame buffer with 64.13 GB/s bandwidth. The Radeon 760M depends on system-shared memory, which means performance in memory-sensitive workloads can vary with the host system's RAM configuration. However, the recorded benchmarks do not show any scenario where the GTX 760M's dedicated memory gives it a measurable advantage. Its only other nominally higher specifications are shading unit count (768 versus 512) and TMU count (64 versus 32), but those are offset by the Radeon's much higher clocks and architectural efficiency.

For raw compute, the Radeon 760M is the clear winner. For legacy DirectX workloads, the database shows the Radeon 760M has Passmark scores for DX9 (65), DX10 (19), DX11 (52), and DX12 (25), while the GTX 760M has no recorded Passmark scores at all. The GTX 760M's only recorded performance data comes from Geekbench, and those results are far below the Radeon's.

The practical takeaway is straightforward: the Radeon 760M is a modern integrated GPU that outperforms a decade-old discrete mobile GPU by a wide margin in all measured tests. The GTX 760M may have a role in legacy systems where its MXM form factor and dedicated memory are required, but the benchmark data offers no performance reason to choose it.

The specification sheet tells the same story as the benchmarks. The AMD Radeon 760M is a newer, denser, faster chip with a much higher FP32 throughput of 5.323 TFLOPS versus 1,104.4 GFLOPS for the GTX 760M. The pixel rate is 41.58 GPixel/s versus 11.50 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 83.17 GTexel/s versus 46.02 GTexel/s. The Radeon also draws only 15 W compared to 55 W for the GTX 760M, making it the more efficient part by a substantial margin. The GTX 760M does have a wider PCIe interface (x16 versus x8) and a newer generation of PCIe (3.0 versus 4.0), but the Radeon's PCIe 4.0 x8 still offers higher bandwidth per lane, and the benchmark results show no advantage for the older card.
