AMD Radeon 760M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GB205 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Radeon 760M and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GB205 sit at opposite ends of the graphics spectrum, and the recorded data reflects that divide clearly. The Radeon 760M has a complete set of benchmark scores, while the RTX 5060 GB205 has no recorded benchmark results in the database. This absence means direct numerical comparisons are impossible; the analysis must instead rely on architectural specifications and the 760M's position among its nearest rivals.

The Radeon 760M's average benchmark score is 6019, placing it in the 35th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6400 with an average score of 6001 (0.3% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M at 6000 (0.3% behind), and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server at 5996 (0.4% behind). The NVIDIA Quadro P2000 sits slightly ahead at 6049, a 0.5% margin. These deltas are remarkably tight, indicating that the 760M performs within a narrow band around the 6000-point mark.

In individual tests, the 760M shows its strongest results in compute-oriented workloads. The Geekbench Vulkan score reaches 30336, and the OpenCL score is 20255. Passmark G3D returns 5310, while Passmark G2D is 890. The legacy DirectX tests are modest: DirectX 9 scores 65, DirectX 11 scores 52, and DirectX 12 scores 25. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test yields 400 points, and Passmark GPU Compute reaches 2840.

For the RTX 5060 GB205, the absence of benchmark data means no wins can be credited either way. The database records zero wins for each part. What the data does show is the RTX 5060 GB205's 50th percentile placement, which is above the 760M's 35th percentile, but with no average score to anchor that position, the percentile alone cannot be converted into a performance delta.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different manufacturers and distinct architectural lineages. AMD's Radeon 760M uses the Phoenix chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, produced on a 4 nm process at TSMC. NVIDIA's RTX 5060 GB205 uses the GB205 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, produced on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC. The node difference is small but measurable: 4 nm versus 5 nm.

Transistor counts differ substantially. The Phoenix chip contains 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 142.6 million per mm². The GB205 chip packs 31,100 million transistors onto a 263 mm² die, with a density of 118.3 million per mm². The RTX 5060 GB205 has more transistors overall, but the 760M achieves higher density per square millimeter.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The 760M uses system shared memory, with the type, bus width, and bandwidth all listed as system dependent. The RTX 5060 GB205 has 8 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 128 bit bus, delivering 448.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The memory clock is rated at 1750 MHz, described as 28 Gbps effective.

Shader resources show a large gap. The 760M has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, 16 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. The RTX 5060 GB205 has 3840 shading units, 120 TMUs, 48 ROPs, and 30 ray tracing cores. NVIDIA's part also includes 120 tensor cores, while the 760M has no tensor core entry. The RTX 5060 GB205's pixel rate is 119.9 GPixel/s versus 41.58 GPixel/s for the 760M, and its texture rate is 299.6 GTexel/s versus 83.17 GTexel/s.

Compute throughput follows the same pattern. The RTX 5060 GB205 delivers 19.18 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, while the 760M delivers 5.323 TFLOPS for both, with a 1:1 ratio in each case. The RTX 5060 GB205 is roughly 3.6 times higher in raw FP32 throughput, though this figure comes from specifications rather than benchmark runs.

Both parts support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The 760M uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface; the RTX 5060 GB205 uses PCIe 5.0 x8. Display outputs differ as well: the 760M's outputs are motherboard dependent, while the RTX 5060 GB205 lists 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

Where Each One Wins

The Radeon 760M is an integrated graphics processor designed for compact, low-power systems. Its 15 W TDP and IGP slot width mean it requires no power connectors and draws its memory from the system pool. The data shows it competes with discrete GPUs from several generations ago: the RX 6400, GTX 770M, and Quadro P2000 all sit within 0.5% of its average score. This places the 760M as a capable option for light gaming and general graphics workloads, particularly in systems where discrete graphics is not feasible.

The RTX 5060 GB205 is a dual-slot discrete card with a 145 W TDP, a single 8-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 300 W. Its 8 GB GDDR7 memory and 448.0 GB/s bandwidth represent a different class of memory subsystem entirely. With no benchmark scores recorded, the database cannot confirm its real-world performance, but its specifications place it in the 50th percentile of all GPUs, above the 760M's 35th percentile.

The 760M wins in power efficiency and physical footprint. At 15 W, it draws a fraction of the RTX 5060 GB205's 145 W. It occupies no expansion slot, has no length, height, or width specifications because it is an IGP, and produces no additional cooling requirements beyond what the motherboard provides. The RTX 5060 GB205 measures 241 mm by 111 mm by 40 mm and requires a dual-slot cooler.

The RTX 5060 GB205 wins in every raw compute and memory specification. Its shading units are 7.5 times more numerous, its FP32 throughput is roughly 3.6 times higher, and its memory bandwidth is fixed at 448.0 GB/s versus the 760M's system dependent value. It also has tensor cores, which the 760M lacks entirely, and more than three times the ray tracing cores.

Specification Differences

The two parts differ in nearly every specification field. The 760M is from AMD's Navi III IGP generation, while the RTX 5060 GB205 is from NVIDIA's GeForce 50 series. The 760M's process node is 4 nm; the RTX 5060 GB205's is 5 nm. Transistor counts are 25,390 million versus 31,100 million, and die sizes are 178 mm² versus 263 mm².

Clock behavior diverges as well. The 760M has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2599 MHz. The RTX 5060 GB205 has a base clock of 2280 MHz and a boost clock of 2497 MHz. Interestingly, the 760M's boost clock is higher than the RTX 5060 GB205's, despite the latter's far larger shader count.

Memory is system shared on the 760M, whereas the RTX 5060 GB205 has 8 GB GDDR7 on a 128 bit bus with 448.0 GB/s bandwidth. The 760M's memory clock is listed as system shared, and its bandwidth is system dependent. The RTX 5060 GB205's memory runs at 1750 MHz, 28 Gbps effective.

Power and physical specifications differ sharply. The 760M has a 15 W TDP, an IGP slot width, no power connectors, no suggested PSU, and no listed dimensions. The RTX 5060 GB205 has a 145 W TDP, dual-slot width, one 8-pin connector, a 300 W suggested PSU, and dimensions of 241 mm by 111 mm by 40 mm.

Bus interfaces differ by one PCIe generation: the 760M uses PCIe 4.0 x8, the RTX 5060 GB205 uses PCIe 5.0 x8. Display outputs are motherboard dependent on the 760M, while the RTX 5060 GB205 provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. The RTX 5060 GB205 has a launch MSRP of 299 USD; the 760M has no recorded launch MSRP. Release dates are also different: the 760M launched on 2024-01-30, while the RTX 5060 GB205 is dated 2026-05-31.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear split. The AMD Radeon 760M is an integrated processor aimed at low-power systems. Its 15 W TDP, IGP form factor, and system shared memory make it suitable for compact builds where discrete graphics is impossible. Its benchmark results show it performing at the level of older discrete GPUs like the RX 6400 and GTX 770M, with all scores within 0.5% of its 6019 average.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 GB205 is a discrete, dual-slot card with specifications that place it far above the 760M in raw resources. Its 3840 shading units, 120 tensor cores, 8 GB GDDR7 memory, and 19.18 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput are all substantially higher than the 760M's figures. Its 50th percentile placement is above the 760M's 35th percentile, though no benchmark scores exist to confirm the gap.

Users requiring a discrete graphics card with dedicated memory and high compute throughput should look to the RTX 5060 GB205. Users building a low-power integrated system should consider the 760M. The benchmark data does not support a direct performance comparison between the two, but the specification differences are decisive. The RTX 5060 GB205 is the stronger part on paper; the 760M is the more efficient part in practice.
