AMD Radeon 860M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 Comparison

The Verdict

The data presents two GPUs with almost no meaningful overlap in performance class. The AMD Radeon 860M is an integrated graphics processor with an average benchmark score of 26401, placing it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs in the database. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 is a discrete, triple-slot add-in card with an average benchmark score of 6270, sitting in the 36th percentile. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 is the choice for any workload requiring substantial graphics throughput, while the Radeon 860M is the only option for systems that need no separate graphics hardware at all.

The Radeon 860M’s nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 (average score 26421, delta -0.1%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 (average score 26331, delta +0.3%), and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary (average score 26553, delta -0.6%). These deltas are all within roughly one percentage point, indicating that the 860M performs in a tightly packed cluster of mid-range hardware. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, by contrast, is matched almost exactly by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER (delta 0%), with the nearest rivals being the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (delta -0.2%), AMD FirePro W600 (delta +0.8%), and AMD Radeon R7 M350 (delta -0.9%). The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102’s 44.10 TFLOPS FP32 throughput and 672.3 GB/s memory bandwidth put it in a different performance tier entirely.

The verdict is straightforward: the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 is for users who need high-end rendering, ray tracing, or large frame buffer capacity (16 GB GDDR6X), and the Radeon 860M is for thin-and-light portable devices where the 15 W TDP and integrated nature are decisive. There is no scenario in the recorded data where the Radeon 860M outruns the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, but the two products serve mutually exclusive system designs.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon 860M uses the Krackan Point chip built on RDNA 3.5 architecture, manufactured on a 4 nm process at TSMC. It is part of the Navi III IGP generation for Strix Point Mobile and is classified as an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no slot width, no power connectors, and a PCIe 4.0 x8 bus interface. Its transistor count and die size are listed as unknown in the database. The GPU has 512 shading units, 32 texture mapping units, 16 ROPs, and 8 ray tracing cores. It has no tensor cores. Base clock is 600 MHz with a boost clock of 3000 MHz. Memory is system-shared, with bandwidth listed as system dependent. The pixel rate is 48.00 GPixel/s, texture rate is 96.00 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput is 3.072 TFLOPS. FP16 runs at the same 3.072 TFLOPS with a 1:1 ratio. The TDP is 15 W.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 uses the AD102 chip built on Ada Lovelace architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It has 76,300 million transistors on a 609 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 125.3M / mm². The GPU is part of the GeForce 40-series and is marked end-of-life in production status. It has 8448 shading units, 264 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 66 ray tracing cores, and 264 tensor cores. Base clock is 2340 MHz with a boost clock of 2610 MHz. Memory is 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, with memory clock at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 672.3 GB/s. Pixel rate is 250.6 GPixel/s, texture rate is 689.0 GTexel/s, and FP32 is 44.10 TFLOPS. FP16 is also 44.10 TFLOPS at 1:1. TDP is 285 W with a suggested PSU of 600 W and a single 16-pin power connector. The card is triple-slot, measuring 310 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 61 mm in width. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface and offers 1x HDMI 2.13 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The process node difference is notable: the Radeon 860M uses a smaller 4 nm process while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 uses 5 nm. The RTX card is the only one with dedicated tensor cores, and it has far more ray tracing cores, TMUs, and ROPs. The Radeon 860M’s boost clock of 3000 MHz is higher than the RTX card’s 2610 MHz boost, but the massive difference in shading units (512 vs 8448) dominates the performance picture.

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data shows the Radeon 860M with two benchmark entries: Geekbench OpenCL at 22759 and Geekbench Vulkan at 30043. Its average benchmark score is 26401. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 has a single benchmark entry: 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 6269.5, with an average score of 6270. Because the two products have no head-to-head benchmark tests in the database, direct wins cannot be established from a common workload. The wins are defined by the product’s intended role.

The Radeon 860M wins in any system where a discrete GPU cannot be installed. It is an IGP with a 15 W TDP, no power connectors, and no slot width, so it fits in portable devices where the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102’s 285 W TDP, triple-slot cooler, and 310 mm length would be impossible. The Radeon 860M’s Vulkan score of 30043 is its strongest recorded result, and its OpenCL score of 22759 still places it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rival in average score, the NVIDIA GeForce MX550, trails by only 0.1%, meaning the integrated part competes with entry-level discrete graphics.

The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 wins in raw throughput. Its FP32 compute of 44.10 TFLOPS is more than 14 times the Radeon 860M’s 3.072 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 689.0 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 250.6 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s show the scale of the gap. Memory bandwidth is 672.3 GB/s versus system dependent for the Radeon 860M. The RTX card has 16 GB of dedicated GDDR6X memory, while the Radeon 860M shares system memory. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 also has 264 tensor cores and 66 ray tracing cores, features the Radeon 860M lacks in tensor core form and has far fewer of in ray tracing (8).

For users running 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102’s score of 6269.5 is the only relevant data point. The Radeon 860M has no entry for that test. Conversely, for Geekbench Vulkan or OpenCL workloads, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 has no recorded scores. The two products cannot be compared on identical tests, so the performance split is based on architectural capability and system fit.
