Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 760M is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture using the Phoenix chip, classified as a Navi III IGP. It uses a 4 nm process from TSMC with 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 142.6 million per mm². The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB206 chip, built on a 5 nm TSMC process. It packs 21,900 million transistors on a 181 mm² die, resulting in a lower transistor density of 121.0 million per mm².

The compute resources differ dramatically. The Radeon 760M has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, and 16 ROPs. The RTX 5070 Mobile has 4608 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. Ray tracing hardware also differs: the Radeon 760M has 8 RT cores, while the RTX 5070 Mobile has 36 RT cores. The NVIDIA part additionally includes 144 tensor cores, a feature the AMD IGP does not list.

Clock behavior separates the two as well. The Radeon 760M runs at a base of 800 MHz and boosts to 2599 MHz. The RTX 5070 Mobile has a higher base clock of 907 MHz but a lower boost of 1425 MHz. The NVIDIA memory clock is listed at 1500 MHz with 24 Gbps effective, while the AMD part relies on system shared memory with no dedicated memory clock.

The memory subsystem is a fundamental architectural split. The Radeon 760M has no dedicated VRAM, using system shared memory with a system dependent bus width and bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Mobile has 8 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 384.0 GB/s. The RTX 5070 Mobile also uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, while the Radeon 760M uses PCIe 4.0 x8.

Both GPUs share the same API feature set: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Both are listed as IGP slot width with no power connectors and no suggested PSU. The Radeon 760M draws a 15 W TDP, while the RTX 5070 Mobile has a 50 W TDP.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Mobile wins every recorded head-to-head benchmark. Its largest advantages appear in compute and modern API workloads. In Geekbench OpenCL, the NVIDIA part scores 122238 versus 20255, a 83.4% lead. The Vulkan test shows 116960 versus 30336, a 74.1% lead. These results indicate the RTX 5070 Mobile is the clear choice for compute-heavy tasks such as rendering, GPU-accelerated processing, and modern graphics APIs.

DirectX results follow the same pattern. The RTX 5070 Mobile leads by 85.3% in DirectX 10 (129 versus 19), 72.9% in DirectX 11 (192 versus 52), 73.1% in DirectX 12 (93 versus 25), and 69.6% in DirectX 9 (214 versus 65). The PassMark G3D score of 20355 versus 5310 represents a 73.9% lead, confirming the NVIDIA part dominates overall 3D performance.

The only area where the Radeon 760M approaches parity is the PassMark G2D test, which measures 2D graphics performance. The RTX 5070 Mobile scores 896 versus the Radeon 760M's 890, a marginal 0.7% difference. This suggests that for purely 2D desktop workloads, the two GPUs perform nearly identically. The Radeon 760M also has a lower TDP of 15 W versus 50 W, which may matter in power-constrained systems, though the data does not include efficiency metrics.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The Geekbench OpenCL result is the single largest margin in the dataset. The RTX 5070 Mobile scores 122238, which is 83.4% higher than the Radeon 760M's 20255. This test exercises general-purpose compute and reflects the NVIDIA part's far larger shading unit count and dedicated memory bandwidth.

The Geekbench Vulkan test shows the RTX 5070 Mobile at 116960 versus 30336, a 74.1% advantage. Vulkan performance is relevant for modern game engines and cross-platform graphics workloads. The NVIDIA part's 36 RT cores and 144 tensor cores likely contribute to this result, though the recorded data does not isolate those factors.

PassMark DirectX 10 shows the RTX 5070 Mobile at 129 versus 19, a 85.3% lead. This is the largest percentage delta across all tests. DirectX 11 follows with 192 versus 52, a 72.9% lead. DirectX 12 shows 93 versus 25, a 73.1% lead. DirectX 9 shows 214 versus 65, a 69.6% lead. Every DirectX generation tested favors the NVIDIA part by at least 69.6%.

The PassMark G3D score of 20355 for the RTX 5070 Mobile versus 5310 for the Radeon 760M represents a 73.9% lead. This is the aggregate 3D performance metric and aligns closely with the DirectX results. The PassMark GPU Compute score of 8279 versus 2840 shows a 65.7% lead, the smallest margin outside of the 2D test.

The PassMark G2D test is the outlier. The RTX 5070 Mobile scores 896 and the Radeon 760M scores 890, a delta of 0.7%. This near-tie indicates that 2D desktop rendering, which is not memory-bandwidth or shader-intensive, does not differentiate the two GPUs meaningfully.

The RTX 5070 Mobile's nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti (delta of 0.1% lower), the RTX 2080 Ti (0.5% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 6800 (0.6% lower), and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 (1.7% lower). The Radeon 760M's nearest rivals are the AMD Radeon RX 6400 (0.3% higher), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M (0.3% higher), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server (0.4% higher), and the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 (0.5% lower). These deltas show that each GPU performs in line with its immediate peer group, but the peer groups themselves are separated by a wide margin.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear separation between these two parts. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile is in the 75th percentile of all GPUs and delivers an average benchmark score of 29928, roughly five times the Radeon 760M's 6019. The RTX 5070 Mobile wins all 9 head-to-head benchmarks, with leads ranging from 0.7% in G2D to 85.3% in DirectX 10. Its 4608 shading units, 144 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 36 RT cores, 144 tensor cores, and 8 GB of GDDR7 memory with 384.0 GB/s bandwidth establish it as a dedicated mobile discrete GPU class part.

The AMD Radeon 760M occupies the integrated graphics tier. Its 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 8 RT cores, combined with system shared memory, place it at the 35th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6400 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M, both with average scores around 6000. For 2D desktop work, the Radeon 760M is effectively tied with the RTX 5070 Mobile, but every 3D and compute workload shows a decisive NVIDIA advantage.

Buyers should choose based on workload class. The RTX 5070 Mobile is the appropriate selection for 3D gaming, GPU compute, and any task that benefits from dedicated VRAM and high bandwidth. The Radeon 760M is suited for systems where its 15 W TDP and integrated design are priorities, and where 2D performance is the primary requirement. The recorded data does not support any scenario where the Radeon 760M outperforms the RTX 5070 Mobile outside of the near-tie in PassMark G2D.
