AMD Radeon 780M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark database records only one shared test between these two parts, and it is decisive. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins the sole head-to-head benchmark, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, by a margin of 92.3%. That single result shapes the entire comparison: the AMD Radeon 780M is an integrated graphics processor designed for ultra-low power, while the NVIDIA part is a full-size discrete card built for high-end rendering. The data shows no overlap in their intended roles, and the benchmark confirms it.

The AMD Radeon 780M does not win any benchmark in the database. Its recorded scores are 480 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, 18,602 in Geekbench OpenCL, and 33,683 in Geekbench Vulkan. Those OpenCL and Vulkan figures are not part of the head-to-head table, but they do exist in the database. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has only one recorded benchmark, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6269.5. When comparing the two parts across all recorded tests, the NVIDIA card holds the advantage in every category where both have data. The 780M's Vulkan score of 33,683 is notable for an integrated solution, but there is no equivalent Vulkan score for the NVIDIA card in the database, so a direct comparison is not possible.

The use-case split is stark. The 780M belongs in thin-and-light laptops or compact desktops where power draw is critical. Its 15 W TDP and integrated nature make it suitable for everyday graphics, light gaming, and media playback. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, with its 350 W TDP, dual-slot cooler, and 16-pin power connector, targets high-refresh 1440p or 4K gaming, ray tracing, and content creation. The database does not record any productivity or compute-specific tests for either card beyond the ones listed, so the analysis must stay within those boundaries.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural families and process nodes. The AMD Radeon 780M uses the Phoenix chip on RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC. The process node difference is small: 4 nm versus 5 nm, which typically allows the AMD chip to pack more transistors per square millimeter. The 780M has 25,390 million transistors on a 178 mm² die, resulting in a density of 142.6 million transistors per mm². The NVIDIA card has 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, with a density of 120.6 million per mm². So the 780M is denser per area, but the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has nearly double the raw transistor count.

Core counts diverge massively. The 780M has 768 shading units, 48 texture mapping units, 32 render output units, and 12 ray tracing cores. It has no dedicated tensor cores. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 70 RT cores, and 280 tensor cores. That is roughly 11.7 times more shading units on the NVIDIA side. The memory subsystem also differs completely. The 780M uses system shared memory, meaning its memory size, type, bus width, and bandwidth are all dependent on the host system. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The 780M's bandwidth is listed as "System Dependent," so no fixed number can be cited.

Clock behavior differs as well. The 780M has a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of 2900 MHz. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz. Interestingly, the AMD part boosts higher, but that is expected for an integrated chip with a much lower power budget. The NVIDIA card's memory clock is listed as 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective, while the 780M's memory clock is system shared. The bus interface also differs: the 780M uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only recorded head-to-head benchmark is 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The AMD Radeon 780M scores 480. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6269.5. The delta is 92.3%, meaning the NVIDIA card is more than 13 times faster in this specific test. That is not a marginal difference; it is a class difference. The 780M's score places it in a range where its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro 560 (17551, delta 0.2%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 (17639, delta -0.3%), the AMD Radeon HD 7790 (17666, delta -0.4%), and the AMD Radeon Pro 460 (17509, delta 0.5%). Wait, those rival scores are based on the average benchmark score, not the Steel Nomad score. The 780M's average benchmark score is 17588, and its nearest rivals cluster around that figure. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's average benchmark score is 6270, and its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (6270, delta 0%), the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6282, delta -0.2%), the AMD FirePro W600 (6223, delta 0.8%), and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 (6327, delta -0.9%).

The percentile data is striking. The 780M sits at the 61st percentile among all GPUs in the database. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile. That seems counterintuitive given the huge performance gap in Steel Nomad. The explanation lies in the database composition: the 780M's average includes its strong OpenCL and Vulkan results, which are high for an integrated part, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has only one recorded benchmark, a very heavy DX12 workload that many older or lower-end GPUs might not handle well. The database's percentile calculation is based on average benchmark score, not peak performance. The 780M's average of 17588 places it above many discrete cards, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's average of 6270 is dragged down by the absence of other test scores.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear separation of roles. The AMD Radeon 780M is an integrated graphics processor with a 15 W TDP, designed to coexist with a CPU in a compact system. Its benchmark scores, including 18,602 in Geekbench OpenCL and 33,683 in Geekbench Vulkan, show it handles general compute and lightweight graphics tasks competently for its class. Its percentile rank of 61 among all GPUs, driven by a 17588 average score, places it above many older discrete cards in the database.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a different animal entirely. It is a dual-slot, 350 W discrete card with 16 GB of GDDR7, 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and 70 RT cores. Its single recorded benchmark, 6269.5 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, is 92.3% higher than the 780M's score in the same test. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's average score of 6270 and 36th percentile rank reflect a database that has not captured its full range of capabilities, but the head-to-head result is unambiguous.

Who should pick which? For a system where power draw is the primary constraint, the 780M is the only viable option among these two. It requires no power connectors, fits an integrated slot, and its performance is sufficient for basic rendering tasks. For anyone building a desktop with room for a dual-slot card, a 16-pin connector, and a 350 W power budget, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers roughly 13 times the Steel Nomad performance. The choice is not about preference; the benchmark data dictates that these two GPUs serve entirely different markets.
