AMD Radeon 8060S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains one direct head-to-head comparison between the AMD Radeon 8060S and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In this benchmark, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER scores 2690, while the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 2162. That places the NVIDIA part 19.6% ahead of the AMD part in this specific workload. The delta is recorded as -19.6% from the AMD perspective, confirming a decisive win for NVIDIA in this test.

Beyond the direct comparison, the broader benchmark database places these two cards in very different competitive contexts. The AMD Radeon 8060S has an average benchmark score of 55757 across its recorded tests, which includes Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan results. Its percentile rank against all GPUs is 87, meaning it sits above the large majority of recorded graphics hardware. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB with an average score of 55698 (0.1% difference), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 with 56083 (-0.6%), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X with 54828 (1.7%), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 with 54247 (2.8%). These tight margins show that the 8060S lands in a performance neighborhood where single-digit percentage swings separate it from several well-known desktop cards.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, by contrast, has only the single recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2690, giving it an average benchmark score of 2690 and a percentile rank of 18. Its nearest rivals in the database are not modern desktop performers: the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (2664, 1% delta), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (2662, 1.1%), the Intel Arc Pro B50 (2660, 1.1%), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 (2645, 1.7%). This grouping indicates that the 5070 SUPER's recorded position in the database is heavily constrained by the small benchmark sample. The single available score does not reflect the kind of high-end placement that its hardware specifications would suggest, but the analysis must strictly follow the data as recorded.

Looking strictly at the head-to-head result, the NVIDIA card wins the only shared test. The 19.6% margin is substantial, and it is the only direct evidence available for comparing these two products side by side. The AMD card's other benchmark results, however, show a much stronger overall standing in the database, with scores in the tens of thousands on Geekbench workloads. The Geekbench OpenCL score for the 8060S is 84626, and its Vulkan score is 80483. No comparable Geekbench results exist for the 5070 SUPER in the database, so the two cannot be compared on those tests.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 8060S uses the Strix Halo chip built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. The die size is 308 mm². The transistor count is listed as unknown. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the GB205 chip on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, also from TSMC but on a 5 nm process. Its die is smaller at 263 mm², and its transistor count is recorded as 31,100 million, giving a transistor density of 118.3M per mm².

Clock behavior differs considerably. The AMD part has a base clock of 1295 MHz and a boost clock of 2900 MHz. The NVIDIA part starts higher at 2325 MHz base and boosts to 2512 MHz. The AMD card therefore has a much wider clock range and a significantly higher peak boost, but the NVIDIA card operates at a higher floor.

Memory architecture is one of the most striking differences. The AMD Radeon 8060S uses system shared memory, with the size, type, bus width, and bandwidth all dependent on the host system. Its memory clock is listed as "System Shared" and its bandwidth as "System Dependent." The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER has dedicated 18 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, with a memory clock of 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective) and a bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s. This gives the NVIDIA card a fixed and substantial memory subsystem, while the AMD card's memory performance varies entirely with the platform it is installed into.

Compute resources also differ. The AMD Radeon 8060S has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 40 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER has 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 50 RT cores, and 200 tensor cores. The AMD card has no tensor core count listed. The NVIDIA card's shading unit count is more than double that of the AMD card, and its TMU and ROP counts are also higher.

Rates and throughput follow the same pattern. The AMD card delivers a pixel rate of 185.6 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 464.0 GTexel/s, with FP32 performance of 14.85 TFLOPS and FP16 performance of 14.85 TFLOPS at a 1:1 ratio. The NVIDIA card reaches 201.0 GPixel/s pixel rate, 502.4 GTexel/s texture rate, and 32.15 TFLOPS in both FP32 and FP16. The NVIDIA card is ahead in every measured rate.

Power and physical design diverge sharply. The AMD Radeon 8060S has a TDP of 55 W, uses no power connectors, and is classified as an IGP (integrated graphics processor). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER has a TDP of 275 W, requires a single 16-pin power connector, and is a dual-slot card measuring 245 mm in length, 115 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The AMD card has no fixed dimensions recorded because it is an integrated part. Both use a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface.

The AMD card is part of the Navi Mobile (RX 8000M) generation, released on January 5, 2025, and its predecessor is listed as Polaris Mobile. The NVIDIA card belongs to the GeForce 50-series, released on December 31, 2025, with no predecessor listed. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs for the AMD card are listed as portable device dependent, while the NVIDIA card provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split based on workload and system context. In the only direct comparison available, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER beats the AMD Radeon 8060S by 19.6% in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The NVIDIA card also has a dedicated 18 GB GDDR7 memory pool with 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth, more than double the shading units, and roughly 2.17 times the FP32 throughput of the AMD card. For a discrete GPU workload where the system can supply 275 W and accommodate a dual-slot card, the recorded numbers favor the NVIDIA part.

The AMD Radeon 8060S, however, is an integrated processor with a 55 W TDP and no power connectors. Its performance in the database's overall average is much higher than the NVIDIA card's average, but that is due to different benchmark sets: the AMD card has Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores in the 80,000 range, while the NVIDIA card has only the one 3DMark result. The AMD card's nearest rivals include the RTX 5080 and RTX 4080 with margins under 3%, which positions the 8060S in strong company for an integrated part. The RTX 5070 SUPER's nearest rivals are low-end cards like the GT 1030 and GT 440, a grouping that reflects its incomplete benchmark record rather than its hardware class.

The practical verdict from the data: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER wins the direct benchmark comparison and offers a vastly larger dedicated memory subsystem and compute throughput. The AMD Radeon 8060S is the only one of the two that fits into a low-power, integrated form factor with system-shared memory, and its recorded average benchmark score places it near desktop cards like the RX 6750 GRE and RTX 4080. Buyers with a discrete GPU slot and power budget should follow the head-to-head result. Buyers constrained to an integrated solution have a viable option in the 8060S, whose database standing is far stronger than its 55 W envelope might suggest.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER wins in the direct 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 comparison, and its hardware profile reinforces that result. It has 6400 shading units versus 2560, 50 RT cores versus 40, and 200 tensor cores where the AMD card has none listed. Its FP32 throughput of 32.15 TFLOPS is roughly 2.17 times the AMD card's 14.85 TFLOPS. Texture rate is 502.4 GTexel/s versus 464.0 GTexel/s, and pixel rate is 201.0 GPixel/s versus 185.6 GPixel/s. The dedicated 18 GB GDDR7 pool with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth removes any dependency on system memory performance, which is a decisive advantage for workloads that stress memory throughput. The NVIDIA card is also a standalone dual-slot unit with its own cooling and display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1b, 3x DisplayPort 2.1b), so it does not compete for system memory or motherboard integration resources.

The AMD Radeon 8060S wins in power efficiency and system integration. At 55 W with no power connectors, it draws a fraction of the 275 W required by the NVIDIA card. It is classified as an IGP, meaning it fits into systems without a discrete graphics slot. Its boost clock of 2900 MHz is higher than the NVIDIA card's 2512 MHz boost, and its base clock of 1295 MHz is lower than the NVIDIA card's 2325 MHz base, reflecting a design that ramps aggressively under load. The AMD card's database average benchmark score of 55757 places it within 0.6% of the RTX 5080 and 2.8% of the RTX 4080, which indicates strong overall performance in the workloads it was tested on. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 84626 and Vulkan score of 80483 show a capable compute part in those specific tests. For systems where a discrete GPU cannot be installed, the 8060S is the only viable option between the two, and its recorded performance relative to desktop rivals is strong for an integrated part.

The use-case split is therefore straightforward. The NVIDIA card is the choice for a dedicated GPU slot, high-power workloads, and applications that benefit from a fixed 18 GB GDDR7 memory pool. The AMD card is the choice for compact, low-power, integrated systems where system-shared memory and a 55 W envelope are acceptable constraints.
