AMD Radeon 840M vs NVIDIA RTX 6000D Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon 840M and the NVIDIA RTX 6000D. The two products occupy entirely different segments of the GPU market, and the database lists no shared test scores for them. The AMD Radeon 840M has no benchmark entries in the database, while the NVIDIA RTX 6000D has two recorded scores: 3,522 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and 388,405 in Geekbench OpenCL.

The absence of comparable test results is itself revealing. The Radeon 840M carries an average benchmark score of zero, placing it at the 50th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The RTX 6000D, by contrast, records an average benchmark score of 195,964, placing it at the 98th percentile. The gap between these percentile positions indicates that the RTX 6000D outperforms the vast majority of GPUs tracked by the database, while the Radeon 840M sits at the median with no recorded performance data.

Looking at the RTX 6000D's nearest rivals provides context for its performance tier. The NVIDIA Tesla V100S PCIe 32 GB posts an average score of 194,415, which is 0.8% lower than the RTX 6000D's average. The NVIDIA A100 SXM4 40 GB scores 187,147, trailing by 4.7%. The NVIDIA RTX 5000 Ada Generation scores 184,664, which is 6.1% lower. The NVIDIA A100 PCIe 80 GB scores 207,124, which is 5.4% higher than the RTX 6000D. These comparisons show the RTX 6000D operating in the same performance band as flagship data-center accelerators from NVIDIA's own lineup.

The Radeon 840M has no nearest rivals listed in the database, which means no comparative delta percentages exist for it. Its 50th percentile ranking with zero benchmark scores suggests it is positioned as an entry-level integrated processor, not as a discrete card competing in measured workloads.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 840M draws its advantages from integration and power characteristics. It is an integrated graphics processor built on the Krackan Point chip, using the RDNA 3.5 architecture. Its thermal design power is 15 W, a fraction of the RTX 6000D's 600 W requirement. The 840M uses system-shared memory with a system-dependent bandwidth, meaning it does not carry dedicated VRAM. Its bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8, and it requires no power connectors. These traits make it suitable for compact portable devices, as its display outputs are listed as portable-device dependent.

The 840M's architectural features include 256 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, 8 raster operation units, and 4 ray tracing cores. Its base clock is 400 MHz with a boost clock of 2900 MHz. Pixel fill rate is 23.20 GPixel/s, texture fill rate is 46.40 GTexel/s, and FP32 compute is 1,484.8 GFLOPS. FP16 performance is identical at 1,484.8 GFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. The chip is manufactured on TSMC's 4 nm process node.

The NVIDIA RTX 6000D wins decisively in every measured performance category. It carries 84 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 448-bit bus, delivering 1.40 TB/s of bandwidth. Its memory clock is 1560 MHz with 25 Gbps effective speed. The GPU contains 19,968 shading units, 624 texture mapping units, 192 raster operation units, 156 ray tracing cores, and 624 tensor cores. Base clock is 1992 MHz with a boost clock of 2430 MHz.

Raw throughput numbers for the RTX 6000D are orders of magnitude higher. Pixel fill rate reaches 466.6 GPixel/s, texture fill rate reaches 1,516.3 GTexel/s, and FP32 compute reaches 97.04 TFLOPS. FP16 is also 97.04 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. The chip, code-named GB202, uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture and packs 92,200 million transistors on a 750 square millimeter die, yielding a transistor density of 122.9 million per square millimeter. It is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC.

The RTX 6000D uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface and provides four DisplayPort 2.1b outputs. Its dimensions are 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. It requires a dual-slot cooler, a single 16-pin power connector, and a suggested 1000 W power supply.

The Verdict

The data indicates that these two GPUs are not competitors. The RTX 6000D is a workstation-class discrete card with the 98th percentile ranking, 84 GB of GDDR7 memory, and a 600 W power envelope. The Radeon 840M is a 15 W integrated processor with no recorded benchmarks and a 50th percentile ranking. The RTX 6000D's FP32 compute of 97.04 TFLOPS is roughly 65 times the 840M's 1,484.8 GFLOPS based on the recorded figures. Its texture rate of 1,516.3 GTexel/s is about 32 times higher, and its pixel rate of 466.6 GPixel/s is about 20 times higher.

The RTX 6000D launch MSRP is 8,565 USD.

Users who require large memory capacity, high compute throughput, and professional-grade display outputs should look to the RTX 6000D. Users who need a low-power integrated graphics solution for portable systems would use the Radeon 840M. The benchmark database shows no scenario in which the Radeon 840M surpasses the RTX 6000D in measured workloads.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The process nodes differ slightly, with the 840M on 4 nm and the RTX 6000D on 5 nm, but the RTX 6000D compensates with a massive die: 750 square millimeters versus the 840M's unknown die size. The RTX 6000D's transistor density is recorded at 122.9 million per square millimeter.

The Radeon 840M's predecessor is the Navi II IGP, while the RTX 6000D's predecessor is Workstation Ada. The 840M was released on 2025-02-28, and the RTX 6000D was released on 2025-07-13. Both remain in active production status.
