AMD Radeon 8060S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark data splits these two GPUs cleanly by workload and platform. The AMD Radeon 8060S is an integrated graphics processor built into the Strix Halo chip, designed for portable devices. It posts an average benchmark score of 55757, placing it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a discrete, dual-slot add-in card with an average score of 6270, which puts it in the 36th percentile. That percentile gap is striking: the AMD part outperforms a large majority of the database, while the NVIDIA card sits below the median, despite its higher raw score in the single shared test.

The 8060S is the pick for compact, power-limited systems where dedicated graphics cards cannot fit. Its 55 W TDP, integrated form factor, and lack of power connectors mean it drops into a portable chassis without external power cabling. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER targets desktop towers with room for a 304 mm long, dual-slot card and a 350 W power budget. Users who need maximum frame rates in the one benchmark both parts share should choose the NVIDIA card. Users who need a broad, competitive GPU inside a thin laptop should choose the AMD part. The data does not support a single universal winner; it supports a platform-based decision.

Architecture Differences

The Radeon 8060S uses the Strix Halo chip built on RDNA 3.5, fabricated on TSMC's 4 nm process. The die measures 308 mm². Transistor count is not recorded in the database. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built on TSMC's 5 nm process. Its die is larger at 378 mm², and the database records 45,600 million transistors with a density of 120.6M per mm².

The compute layouts diverge sharply. The 8060S carries 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 40 ray tracing cores. It has no tensor cores listed. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 70 RT cores, and 280 tensor cores. That is a 3.5x difference in shading units and a 7x difference in tensor cores. Clock speeds also differ: the 8060S runs at a 1295 MHz base and 2900 MHz boost, while the RTX card runs at 2295 MHz base and 2452 MHz boost. The AMD part boosts higher, but the NVIDIA part starts much higher and sustains a narrower range.

Memory architecture is fundamentally different. The 8060S uses system shared memory, with bus width, size, and bandwidth 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 NVIDIA card also has a dedicated memory clock of 1750 MHz, listed as 28 Gbps effective. The AMD part has no dedicated memory clock; it relies on the system's shared memory controller.

Power delivery separates the two. The 8060S is rated at 55 W, uses no power connectors, and occupies an integrated form factor. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER draws 350 W, requires a single 16-pin connector, and occupies a dual-slot footprint. Both use PCIe 5.0 x16 as the bus interface. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs differ: the AMD part lists portable device dependent outputs, while the NVIDIA card has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

Where Each One Wins

The head-to-head benchmark results contain only one shared test: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. In that test, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6269.5 against the 8060S's 2162, a 65.5% deficit for the AMD part. That is the only recorded direct comparison, and the NVIDIA card wins it decisively.

However, the broader benchmark database tells a different story for overall standing. The 8060S has three recorded benchmarks: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 2162, Geekbench OpenCL at 84626, and Geekbench Vulkan at 80483. Its average is 55757. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has only one recorded benchmark, the same 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, at 6269.5, giving an average of 6270. The enormous average gap comes from the fact that the AMD part has two additional high-scoring compute tests that the NVIDIA card does not have recorded in the database.

In terms of nearest rivals, the 8060S sits within 0.1% of the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, 0.6% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, 1.7% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X, and 2.8% ahead of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER matches the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 exactly at 0% delta, sits 0.2% behind the NVIDIA Quadro K620, 0.8% ahead of the AMD FirePro W600, and 0.9% behind the AMD Radeon R7 M350. Those rival sets reveal the positioning: the 8060S competes with high-end desktop cards from the previous generation, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's closest matches include a workstation card and an entry-level mobile part.

The 8060S wins in efficiency per watt and platform flexibility. At 55 W versus 350 W, it delivers its 87th percentile standing with a fraction of the power draw. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in raw peak performance, pixel throughput, and memory bandwidth. The pixel rate for the NVIDIA card is 235.4 GPixel/s versus 185.6 GPixel/s for the AMD part. Texture rate is 686.6 GTexel/s versus 464.0 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is 43.94 TFLOPS versus 14.85 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA card also doubles FP16 at 43.94 TFLOPS versus 14.85 TFLOPS, both running at 1:1 ratio.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records exactly one direct head-to-head benchmark between these two GPUs: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers a score of 6269.5, while the AMD Radeon 8060S scores 2162. The delta is 65.5% in favor of the NVIDIA card. This is a decisive victory in raw GPU throughput for the discrete card.

That single result does not capture the full picture, because the AMD part has two additional compute benchmarks that the NVIDIA card lacks. In Geekbench OpenCL, the 8060S scores 84626. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 80483. These two results pull its average benchmark score to 55757, which places it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's lone score of 6269.5 gives it a 36th percentile ranking, despite the fact that it wins the shared test by a wide margin.

The nearest rival data reinforces this split. The 8060S's average score of 55757 sits within 0.1% of the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55698), 0.6% below the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 (56083), 1.7% above the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X (54828), and 2.8% above the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 (54247). Those are all high-end desktop parts. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's average of 6270 exactly matches the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 (6270), sits 0.2% below the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6282), 0.8% above the AMD FirePro W600 (6223), and 0.9% below the AMD Radeon R7 M350 (6327). The NVIDIA card's rival set includes a low-end workstation GPU and an entry-level mobile part, which explains its low percentile despite a higher raw score in the shared test.

The compute throughput numbers show the scale of the difference. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 performance. The 8060S delivers 14.85 TFLOPS in both. That is roughly 2.96x more compute for the NVIDIA card. Pixel rate favors the NVIDIA card at 235.4 GPixel/s versus 185.6 GPixel/s, a 26.8% advantage. Texture rate favors the NVIDIA card at 686.6 GTexel/s versus 464.0 GTexel/s, a 48.0% advantage. Memory bandwidth is not directly comparable because the AMD part uses system shared memory with system dependent bandwidth, while the NVIDIA card has a fixed 896.0 GB/s.
