AMD Radeon 760M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains a single direct comparison between the AMD Radeon 760M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In this test, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER scores 3075, while the AMD Radeon 760M scores 400. This represents a delta of -87% for the AMD part, meaning the RTX 5080 SUPER delivers roughly 7.7 times the raw performance in this specific DirectX 12 workload.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad benchmark is a modern, demanding DirectX 12 test that scales heavily with raw compute throughput, memory bandwidth, and shading resources. The RTX 5080 SUPER's advantage here is overwhelming, and the magnitude of the gap reflects the fundamental difference in positioning between the two products.

The AMD Radeon 760M holds an average benchmark score of 6019 across its full suite of tests, which includes OpenCL, Vulkan, and multiple DirectX workloads. The RTX 5080 SUPER, by contrast, has only the single Steel Nomad result recorded, giving it an average score of 3075. However, this average is not a direct apples-to-apples comparison because the two products were tested across different benchmark suites, and the RTX 5080 SUPER's average is based on a single, much heavier workload.

When placed against the broader database, the AMD Radeon 760M sits at the 35th percentile of all GPUs. Its closest rivals include the AMD Radeon RX 6400 (average score 6001, delta 0.3%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M (average score 6000, delta 0.3%), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server (average score 5996, delta 0.4%), and the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 (average score 6049, delta -0.5%). These deltas are all within a fraction of a percent, indicating that the Radeon 760M's overall average performance places it in a tightly clustered group of mid-range and older discrete GPUs.

The RTX 5080 SUPER, with its average score of 3075, sits at the 19th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Quadro P1000 (average score 3163, delta -2.8%), the NVIDIA GeForce 820A (average score 2983, delta 3.1%), the Intel Arc Pro B60 (average score 3182, delta -3.4%), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M (average score 2967, delta 3.6%). The deltas here are larger in percentage terms, but the absolute scores are far lower than the Radeon 760M's average, which again reflects the fact that the RTX 5080 SUPER's recorded average is derived from a much more demanding test.

It is important to note that the percentile ranking for the RTX 5080 SUPER at 19% is a direct consequence of its benchmark average being computed from a single, extremely heavy workload. The Radeon 760M's 35th percentile is based on ten different benchmark results, several of which are lighter legacy tests that boost its average. The only head-to-head data point, Steel Nomad, is unambiguous: the RTX 5080 SUPER wins decisively.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 760M wins in overall average benchmark score, with 6019 compared to the RTX 5080 SUPER's 3075. This is driven by its broad benchmark portfolio: it records scores of 20255 in Geekbench OpenCL, 30336 in Geekbench Vulkan, and 5310 in Passmark G3D. It also shows strong results in legacy DirectX tests, including 65 in Passmark DirectX 9, 52 in Passmark DirectX 11, and 25 in Passmark DirectX 12. The 760M additionally posts 890 in Passmark G2D and 2840 in Passmark GPU Compute.

The RTX 5080 SUPER's advantage in this test is decisive and indicates that in contemporary gaming and graphics workloads, it is in a completely different performance class.

The Radeon 760M is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a 15 W TDP, designed for low-power mobile systems. Its benchmark profile shows it performing at a level comparable to older discrete GPUs like the NVIDIA Quadro P2000 and AMD Radeon RX 6400, all within a 0.5% delta of each other in average score. This suggests it is suitable for light gaming, media playback, and general desktop acceleration where a dedicated graphics card is not present.

The RTX 5080 SUPER is a dual-slot, 415 W discrete graphics card with 24 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 1.02 TB/s of memory bandwidth. Its single recorded benchmark result, while lower in average terms, comes from a test that is far more representative of high-end modern gaming than many of the legacy tests in the 760M's suite. The data indicates that the RTX 5080 SUPER excels in scenarios that demand maximum graphics throughput, while the Radeon 760M provides a balanced, power-efficient solution for everyday tasks and lighter workloads.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 760M is built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, using the Phoenix chip manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The RTX 5080 SUPER uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, with the GB203 chip on a 5 nm process, also from TSMC. The 4 nm node gives the AMD part a higher transistor density of 142.6 million transistors per square millimeter, compared to 120.6 million for the NVIDIA chip. The AMD chip contains 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, while the NVIDIA chip packs 45,600 million transistors into a 378 mm² die.

The RTX 5080 SUPER has 10,752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, and 112 render output units. The Radeon 760M has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. These are massive differences in raw execution resources. The NVIDIA part also includes 84 ray tracing cores and 336 tensor cores, while the AMD part has 8 ray tracing cores and no tensor core count listed in the database.

Clock speeds tell a different story. The Radeon 760M has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2599 MHz. The RTX 5080 SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost of 2617 MHz. Despite the 760M's lower base clock, its boost clock is close to the NVIDIA card's, which helps narrow the per-clock gap. However, the sheer difference in shading unit count means the AMD part's FP32 throughput is 5.323 TFLOPS, while the NVIDIA part delivers 56.28 TFLOPS. Both parts report FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32.

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The Radeon 760M uses system shared memory, with a system-dependent bandwidth and no dedicated VRAM. The RTX 5080 SUPER has 24 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, with 1.02 TB/s of bandwidth. This gives the NVIDIA card a massive advantage in memory-intensive workloads, including high-resolution gaming, texture-heavy scenes, and large compute datasets.

The bus interface also differs: the Radeon 760M uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RTX 5080 SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs on the AMD part are motherboard dependent, while the NVIDIA card provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Power requirements reflect their different roles. The Radeon 760M has a 15 W TDP and requires no power connectors. The RTX 5080 SUPER has a 415 W TDP and uses a single 16-pin connector. The AMD part is an IGP, occupying no expansion slot, while the NVIDIA card is dual-slot, 304 mm long, 137 mm tall, and 40 mm wide.
