AMD Radeon 8040S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

The Verdict

The data positions these two GPUs at opposite ends of the performance spectrum. The AMD Radeon 8040S, an integrated graphics processor inside the Strix Halo chip, records an average benchmark score of 2440. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, a discrete dual-slot add-in card, records an average benchmark score of 6270. That is a 3830-point gap, or roughly 2.57 times the AMD part’s total score.

The Radeon 8040S sits in the 17th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals, all within a 1.1% margin, include the NVIDIA GeForce 710M (2433, 0.3% ahead), the Intel HD Graphics 610 (2425, 0.6% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 710M (2422, 0.7% ahead), and the AMD Radeon RX 7400 (2467, 1.1% behind). This is entry-level territory, suitable for basic desktop compositing, legacy DirectX 9 workloads, and light 2D tasks.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, sits in the 36th percentile, with a score identical to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (6270, 0% delta). Its other nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6282, 0.2% ahead) and the AMD FirePro W600 (6223, 0.8% behind). The 5070 Ti SUPER is a high-end part designed for demanding 3D rendering, ray tracing, and high-resolution gaming.

The verdict is simple. The Radeon 8040S is for systems where space, power, and thermal limits preclude a discrete GPU. It uses system memory, requires no power connectors, and fits as an IGP. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is for users who need maximum throughput, with 16 GB of dedicated GDDR7 memory, 70 ray tracing cores, and a 350 W TDP. No benchmark data shows the AMD part competing with the NVIDIA part in any shared test, and the head-to-head wins table lists zero victories for either side.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and design philosophies. The AMD Radeon 8040S uses the RDNA 3.5 architecture, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC, and is part of the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation. The chip is called Strix Halo, and its die size is 308 mm². The transistor count is listed as unknown in the database.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC, and belongs to the GeForce 50-series generation. The chip is the GB203, with a die size of 378 mm² and a transistor count of 45,600 million, giving a transistor density of 120.6 million transistors per mm².

The AMD part integrates 1024 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, 32 raster output units, and 16 ray tracing cores. It has no tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA part has 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, 96 raster output units, 70 ray tracing cores, and 280 tensor cores. The NVIDIA part has 8.75 times the shading units, 4.375 times the TMUs, 3 times the ROPs, and 4.375 times the ray tracing cores.

Compute throughput reflects these differences. The Radeon 8040S delivers 5.734 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 (1:1). The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 (1:1). That is a 7.66 times advantage for the NVIDIA part in raw floating-point throughput.

Pixel and texture rates follow the same pattern. The Radeon 8040S has a pixel rate of 89.60 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 179.2 GTexel/s. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA part is 2.63 times faster in pixel fill and 3.83 times faster in texture fill.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Both use a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. The memory architecture differs fundamentally: the AMD part shares system memory, while the NVIDIA part has dedicated GDDR7.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no shared benchmark tests between the AMD Radeon 8040S and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The head-to-head benchmark list is empty, and the wins counter shows zero for both parts. Direct comparison must therefore rely on the average benchmark scores and the individual test results each card has recorded.

The Radeon 8040S has results across six PassMark tests. Its best showing is in PassMark G3D with a score of 10578, followed by PassMark G2D at 1052. The compute score is 5138. The DirectX tests are lower: DirectX 9 scores 134, DirectX 11 scores 80, and DirectX 12 scores 47, with DirectX 10 at 48. The low DirectX scores relative to the G3D score indicate that the part is better suited to general graphics workloads than to modern API-heavy 3D rendering.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a single recorded benchmark: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 with a score of 6269.5. That score closely matches its average benchmark score of 6270, suggesting the test is representative of its overall performance. The nearest rival, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, scores 6270, showing that the 5070 Ti SUPER is effectively performance-equivalent to that prior-generation card in the database.

The average benchmark scores provide the cleanest cross-comparison. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER’s 6270 average is 3830 points higher than the Radeon 8040S’s 2440 average. In percentage terms, the NVIDIA part is approximately 157% faster than the AMD part. The percentile ranks confirm this gap: the AMD part sits at the 17th percentile, which places it below the majority of GPUs, while the NVIDIA part sits at the 36th percentile, which places it above a larger share of the field.

The Radeon 8040S’s nearest rivals are all legacy or entry-level parts. The GeForce 710M and GT 710M are mobile GPUs from NVIDIA’s 600M series, the Intel HD Graphics 610 is an integrated solution, and the Radeon RX 7400 is a low-end discrete card. The margin between the best and worst of these rivals is only 1.8 percentage points (from -1.1% to +0.7%), indicating that the 8040S occupies a tightly clustered performance band.

The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER’s nearest rivals include the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 at a 0% delta, meaning identical average scores. The other rivals are professional and workstation parts: the Quadro K620 scores 6282 (0.2% higher), the FirePro W600 scores 6223 (0.8% lower), and the Radeon R7 M350 scores 6327 (0.9% higher). The spread is similarly tight, but at a much higher absolute level.

The data shows no scenario where the Radeon 8040S approaches the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The AMD part’s highest individual score, 10578 in G3D, still falls short of the NVIDIA part’s single recorded 3DMark score of 6269.5 in a direct numeric comparison, though the tests differ. The compute score of 5138 for the AMD part is also well below the NVIDIA average. The architectural advantages of the NVIDIA part, including 70 RT cores, 280 tensor cores, and 896 GB/s of dedicated bandwidth, are not reflected in any shared test, but the average scores alone establish a clear hierarchy.
