AMD Radeon 760M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data presents an unusual comparison: the AMD Radeon 760M, an integrated graphics processor, versus the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103, a discrete add-in board. The database shows a stark performance separation, driven by the fundamental differences in their designs. The RTX 4070 AD103 holds the decisive advantage across every measurable category, though the 760M's scores establish a baseline for what an IGP can achieve within a strict power envelope.

The most significant gap appears in raw compute throughput. The RTX 4070 AD103 delivers 29.15 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the Radeon 760M produces 5.323 TFLOPS. That represents a 5.5x advantage for the NVIDIA part. The texture rate tells a similar story: the RTX 4070 AD103 reaches 455.4 GTexel/s against the 760M's 83.17 GTexel/s. Pixel throughput follows the same pattern, with the discrete card hitting 158.4 GPixel/s compared to 41.58 GPixel/s from the integrated solution. These are not marginal differences; they reflect entirely different classes of hardware.

Memory bandwidth further widens the chasm. The RTX 4070 AD103 is equipped with 12 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The Radeon 760M uses system shared memory, with bandwidth listed as system dependent. The discrete card's dedicated memory pool removes contention with the CPU and provides consistent, high-speed access that shared memory cannot match. In practice, this affects texture streaming, resolution scaling, and frame pacing in memory-intensive workloads.

The benchmark scores in the database confirm the hardware specifications. The Radeon 760M posts an average benchmark score of 6019 across all recorded tests, placing it at the 35th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6400 with an average score of 6001, a 0.3% difference, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M at 6000, also a 0.3% difference. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server sits at 5996, a 0.4% gap, while the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 leads the group slightly at 6049, putting the 760M 0.5% behind. These clustered scores show that the 760M performs on par with older entry-level discrete GPUs and even a professional server card in aggregate metrics, despite being an integrated part.

The RTX 4070 AD103 has no benchmark entries in the database, so its average score is recorded as zero. The percentile field places it at the 50th percentile, but without recorded test scores, direct numerical comparison through the database's benchmark suite is not possible. The specification-level deltas, however, provide the quantitative basis for comparison: the RTX 4070 AD103 carries 5888 shading units against the 760M's 512, 184 texture mapping units against 32, and 64 ROPs against 16. It also includes 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores, while the 760M has 8 RT cores and no tensor cores listed. Every compute-related specification favors the discrete card by a wide margin.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4070 AD103 wins in every scenario that demands sustained, high-throughput graphics or compute. Its 29.15 TFLOPS FP32 throughput suits heavy 3D rendering, real-time ray tracing workloads (supported by 46 RT cores), and AI-accelerated tasks through its 184 tensor cores. The 12 GB GDDR6X frame buffer and 504.2 GB/s bandwidth allow it to handle high-resolution textures and large datasets without spilling into system memory. The dual-slot cooler and 200 W TDP indicate a card designed for continuous operation under load, with a 550 W suggested PSU ensuring stable delivery in a desktop build.

The Radeon 760M's advantage lies in its integration and power characteristics. With a TDP of 15 W, it consumes a fraction of the power of the RTX 4070 AD103, which draws 200 W. The 760M requires no power connectors and occupies no expansion slot, as it is an IGP built into the Phoenix chip. Its system shared memory model eliminates the need for dedicated VRAM purchase, and its PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, while narrower than the RTX 4070 AD103's PCIe 4.0 x16, is sufficient for an integrated part. This makes the 760M suitable for compact, low-power systems where a discrete GPU is impractical.

In raw performance terms, there is no workload category where the 760M outpaces the RTX 4070 AD103. The database shows the discrete card ahead in every specification that affects frame rate, render time, or compute throughput. The 760M's benchmark scores place it alongside GPUs like the RX 6400 and GTX 770M, both of which are older or lower-tier discrete parts. Its 35th percentile ranking versus the RTX 4070 AD103's 50th percentile, while not directly comparable due to missing benchmark data, reinforces the hierarchy. The 760M wins only in the domains of power efficiency, physical footprint, and system simplicity, not in performance.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and design philosophies. The AMD Radeon 760M uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on a 4 nm TSMC process. It is part of the Navi III IGP (Phoenix) generation, integrating the GPU into a chip that also contains CPU cores. The chip carries 25,390 million transistors across a 178 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 142.6 million per square millimeter. The 760M's predecessor is listed as the Navi II IGP, and it remains in active production as of its January 30, 2024 release date.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 uses the Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm TSMC process. It belongs to the GeForce 40-series generation, built on the AD103 chip. The die measures 379 mm² and contains 45,900 million transistors, for a density of 121.1 million per square millimeter. This makes the NVIDIA chip both larger and denser in absolute transistor count, though the AMD chip achieves a higher transistor density per area due to its smaller die and more advanced process node. The RTX 4070 AD103 was released on February 29, 2024, and is now listed as end-of-life, with the GeForce 30 as its predecessor and GeForce 50 as its successor.

Clock behavior differs notably. The 760M has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2599 MHz, a wide dynamic range typical of integrated parts that scale with thermal headroom. The RTX 4070 AD103 runs at a 1920 MHz base and 2475 MHz boost, with a memory clock of 1313 MHz or 21 Gbps effective. The higher base clock on the NVIDIA part reflects a design that maintains performance at idle and low load, while the AMD part relies on aggressive boosting to reach its peak.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The 760M uses system shared memory for both capacity and type, with bandwidth dependent on the host system's memory configuration. The RTX 4070 AD103 uses 12 GB of GDDR6X across a 192-bit bus, with fixed bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. The dedicated memory subsystem on the NVIDIA card provides predictable performance, while the AMD part's shared memory can vary based on the CPU's memory controller and RAM speed.

Feature sets also diverge. The 760M includes 8 RT cores for ray tracing but no tensor cores, limiting its AI acceleration capabilities to what the shader units can manage. The RTX 4070 AD103 includes 46 RT cores and 184 tensor cores, enabling dedicated hardware for ray tracing and AI workloads like DLSS. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so API compatibility is not a differentiator. The NVIDIA card provides 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs, while the AMD part's display outputs are motherboard dependent.
