AMD Radeon 820M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The data splits this comparison into two entirely different product categories. The AMD Radeon 820M is an integrated graphics processor, part of the Krackan Point 2 chip, designed for portable devices. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is a discrete, dual-slot desktop graphics card from the GeForce 40-series. Their benchmark records reflect this divide.

The RTX 4070 Ti has a complete benchmark suite in the database: ten recorded tests spanning DirectX 9, 10, 11, 12, OpenCL, Vulkan, and 3DMark Steel Nomad. Its average benchmark score is 44,795, and it sits at the 84th percentile of all GPUs tracked. The Radeon 820M has no recorded benchmark scores, a 0 average score, and a 50th percentile ranking, which places it at the median of the database distribution but with no direct performance evidence.

Looking strictly at the win count, the RTX 4070 Ti claims every available benchmark comparison. It wins all ten tests it appears in, while the Radeon 820M has zero recorded wins. The use-case split is therefore clear: the RTX 4070 Ti is the only one of the two with measured performance data, and it dominates across every API and workload category present in the database. The 820M's role is confined to its specification sheet, which indicates an integrated solution for portable devices, not a competitive desktop part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between these two GPUs, but the RTX 4070 Ti's individual scores provide a clear performance picture. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it scores 5,024 points. In Geekbench OpenCL, it reaches 176,953 points, and in Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 213,808 points. These are the highest recorded scores in its benchmark set.

The Passmark suite shows more granular results. In DirectX 9, the RTX 4070 Ti scores 352 points. In DirectX 10, it scores 187 points. DirectX 11 yields 288 points, and DirectX 12 yields 116 points. The G2D test scores 1,200 points, while the G3D test scores 31,624 points. The GPU compute test records 18,396 points.

The Radeon 820M has no recorded scores in any of these tests. Its only quantitative metrics come from its specification sheet: a pixel rate of 11.20 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 22.40 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance of 716.8 GFLOPS. The RTX 4070 Ti, by comparison, has a pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s, a texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s, and FP32 performance of 40.09 TFLOPS. These are the only comparable numbers in the pack, and they show the RTX 4070 Ti delivering roughly 18.6x the pixel throughput, 28x the texture throughput, and 56x the FP32 compute.

Looking at the RTX 4070 Ti's nearest rivals in the database, its 44,795 average score sits 0.8% below the RTX 5090 Mobile (45,152), 1.3% below the Radeon Pro 5500 XT (45,384), 1.6% above the RTX A6000 (44,075), and 1.7% below the Arc A730M (45,592). These deltas are all within roughly 2% of each other, indicating that the RTX 4070 Ti is positioned in a tight performance band among its closest competitors.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in nearly every measurable specification. The RTX 4070 Ti uses the AD104 chip, while the Radeon 820M uses the Krackan Point 2 chip. The RTX 4070 Ti has 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, with a transistor density of 121.8M per mm². The 820M's transistor count and die size are listed as unknown.

Clock speeds also diverge significantly. The RTX 4070 Ti has a base clock of 2,310 MHz and a boost clock of 2,610 MHz. The Radeon 820M has a base clock of 400 MHz and a boost clock of 2,800 MHz. While the 820M has a higher boost frequency, its base clock is dramatically lower.

Memory specifications are entirely different. The RTX 4070 Ti uses 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus with 504.2 GB/s bandwidth and a memory clock of 1,313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The Radeon 820M uses system shared memory, with its bandwidth dependent on the host system. The RTX 4070 Ti's memory bus width of 192 bits contrasts with the 820M's shared memory architecture.

The RTX 4070 Ti has 7,680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 render output units. The Radeon 820M has 128 shading units, 8 TMUs, and 4 ROPs. The RTX 4070 Ti also has 60 ray tracing cores and 240 tensor cores, while the 820M has 2 ray tracing cores and no tensor cores listed.

Power requirements differ by an order of magnitude. The RTX 4070 Ti draws 285 W TDP with a 600 W suggested PSU and a 1x 16-pin connector. The Radeon 820M has a 15 W TDP, no power connectors, and is classified as an IGP. The RTX 4070 Ti is dual-slot with dimensions of 285 mm length, 112 mm height, and 42 mm width. The 820M has no dimensions listed, being integrated into a portable device.

The bus interface also differs: the RTX 4070 Ti uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the 820M uses PCIe 4.0 x8. Display outputs on the RTX 4070 Ti include 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the 820M's outputs are listed as "Portable Device Dependent."

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide is fundamental. The Radeon 820M uses RDNA 3.5, AMD's latest graphics architecture, built on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It belongs to the Navi III IGP generation, specifically for Strix Point Mobile, with a generation label of "Navi III IGP (Strix Point Mobile)." Its predecessor is listed as Navi II IGP. The chip integrates ray tracing cores (2 of them) and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The RTX 4070 Ti uses Ada Lovelace, NVIDIA's architecture for the GeForce 40-series, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It is a discrete GPU with dedicated memory, a full complement of tensor cores (240), and 60 ray tracing cores. Its predecessor is listed as GeForce 30, and its successor is GeForce 50. It also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so both GPUs share the same API feature levels despite their architectural differences.

The RTX 4070 Ti's transistor density of 121.8M per mm² reflects a dense, high-performance design. The 820M's density is not recorded. The RTX 4070 Ti's FP16 performance matches its FP32 at 40.09 TFLOPS (1:1), while the 820M's FP16 also matches its FP32 at 716.8 GFLOPS (1:1). Both use a 1:1 FP16/FP32 ratio, but the absolute scale differs by roughly 56x.

The Radeon 820M's 2 ray tracing cores versus the RTX 4070 Ti's 60 ray tracing cores indicates a 30x difference in that specific hardware unit. The RTX 4070 Ti's tensor cores (240) have no counterpart in the 820M, which lists none. This means the RTX 4070 Ti can accelerate AI and deep learning workloads, while the 820M cannot, based on the recorded data.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a complete performance separation. The RTX 4070 Ti is a high-end discrete GPU with ten benchmark scores, an average score of 44,795, and an 84th percentile ranking. It delivers 208.8 GPixel/s, 626.4 GTexel/s, and 40.09 TFLOPS FP32. It has 12 GB of dedicated GDDR6X memory, 7,680 shading units, and 60 ray tracing cores. It requires 285 W of power and a 600 W PSU, and it uses a 1x 16-pin connector. Its production status is end-of-life, with a successful successor already listed.

The Radeon 820M is an integrated GPU with no benchmark scores, a 0 average score, and a 50th percentile ranking. It delivers 11.20 GPixel/s, 22.40 GTexel/s, and 716.8 GFLOPS FP32. It uses system shared memory, has 128 shading units, and 2 ray tracing cores. It consumes 15 W and requires no power connectors. It is still in active production, released in early 2025.

For any workload that requires measured graphics performance, the RTX 4070 Ti is the only option with data backing it. Its benchmark scores across DirectX, OpenCL, and Vulkan show it as a capable performer in its class, sitting within 2% of its nearest rivals in the database. The Radeon 820M, by contrast, has no performance evidence in the database, so any claims about its speed cannot be supported by the recorded facts. Its specifications suggest an integrated solution for portable devices, but the data does not quantify its real-world performance.

The choice between them is dictated by use case and system context. The RTX 4070 Ti targets desktop systems with discrete power delivery and cooling, while the Radeon 820M targets portable devices where power draw of 15 W is acceptable. The database confirms the RTX 4070 Ti as the measured performer, and the 820M as an active, lower-power integrated alternative without recorded benchmark results.
