The Verdict

The data splits these two products into entirely separate performance tiers. The RTX 5070 Ti wins both head-to-head benchmarks, and its average score of 49957 is roughly 89% higher than the Radeon 860M's 26401. The percentile gap is also clear: the NVIDIA card sits at the 86th percentile versus the 72nd for the AMD IGP. Anyone selecting between them for a discrete GPU workload should choose the RTX 5070 Ti, as the benchmark results show no scenario where the Radeon 860M takes the lead.

The Radeon 860M, however, is an integrated GPU with a 15 W TDP and no power connectors, designed for portable devices. Its nearest rival is the NVIDIA GeForce MX550, a low-end discrete part, and it trades within 0.1% of that GPU's average score. The database positions it as a capable IGP for light workloads, not a competitor to high-end discrete cards. The RTX 5070 Ti, by contrast, sits near the RX Vega 64 and RX 6900 XT in the database's rival list, placing it in the upper tier of recorded GPUs.

For a builder with a desktop slot and a 700 W PSU, the RTX 5070 Ti is the only sensible pick from this pair. For a thin-and-light laptop with no discrete GPU slot, the Radeon 860M is the only option that fits, and its benchmark data shows it can handle basic tasks without falling below the MX550 class. The verdict is not about preference; the recorded measurements put the NVIDIA card in a different league entirely.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data contains two tests, both of which the RTX 5070 Ti wins decisively. In Geekbench OpenCL, the NVIDIA card scores 212363 against 22759 for the Radeon 860M, a delta of -89.3%. That means the RTX 5070 Ti delivers more than nine times the OpenCL score of the AMD IGP. In Geekbench Vulkan, the gap narrows slightly in percentage terms but remains enormous: 225122 versus 30043, a delta of -86.7%. The RTX 5070 Ti still outpaces the Radeon 860M by a factor of roughly 7.5.

These two tests are the only shared benchmarks in the database, so the analysis rests on them. The RTX 5070 Ti also has a broader benchmark suite, including PassMark tests across DirectX 9, 10, 11, and 12, plus G2D, G3D, and compute scores. Its PassMark G3D score is 32974, and its PassMark GPU compute score is 20203. The Radeon 860M has no PassMark records, limiting direct comparison to the two Geekbench tests.

The wins are one-sided. The Radeon 860M wins zero head-to-head tests, while the RTX 5070 Ti wins both. The delta percentages are so large that no interpretation of the data can flip the outcome. The NVIDIA card is faster in compute and graphics workloads as measured by the database.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ in nearly every specification field. The Radeon 860M uses an IGP form factor with no slot width beyond that label, no power connectors, and a 15 W TDP. The RTX 5070 Ti is a dual-slot card measuring 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width, with a 300 W TDP, a single 16-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 700 W.

Memory is a major split. The Radeon 860M shares system memory, with size, type, bus width, and bandwidth all listed as system dependent. The RTX 5070 Ti has 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Clock speeds also differ: the AMD IGP runs at a base of 600 MHz and a boost of 3000 MHz, while the NVIDIA card runs at a base of 2295 MHz and a boost of 2452 MHz.

The bus interface differs as well. The Radeon 860M uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RTX 5070 Ti uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs are portable-device dependent for the AMD IGP, while the NVIDIA card lists 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. The RTX 5070 Ti has a launch MSRP of 749 USD; the Radeon 860M has none.

Architecture Differences

The architectures are generations apart. The Radeon 860M uses RDNA 3.5 on a 4 nm TSMC process, built as the Krackan Point chip in the Navi III IGP generation. The RTX 5070 Ti uses Blackwell 2.0 on a 5 nm TSMC process, built as the GB203 chip in the GeForce 50 generation. The process node differs by one step, with the AMD part on 4 nm and the NVIDIA part on 5 nm, though the database does not record a direct node comparison.

Core counts show the scale of the difference. The Radeon 860M has 512 shading units, 32 TMUs, 16 ROPs, and 8 RT cores. The RTX 5070 Ti has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 70 RT cores. The NVIDIA card also has 280 tensor cores, while the AMD IGP lists none. Pixel rate for the RTX 5070 Ti is 235.4 GPixel/s versus 48.00 GPixel/s for the Radeon 860M. Texture rate is 686.6 GTexel/s versus 96.00 GTexel/s.

FP32 and FP16 throughput are both listed at 3.072 TFLOPS for the AMD IGP, and both at 43.94 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA card. The RTX 5070 Ti has 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, with a transistor density of 120.6M per mm². The Radeon 860M lists transistor count and die size as unknown. The NVIDIA card's predecessor is the GeForce 40 series, while the Radeon 860M's predecessor is the Navi II IGP. The RTX 5070 Ti has a successor in the GeForce 60 series; the Radeon 860M has none recorded.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5070 Ti wins every measured head-to-head test, so the use-case split follows from the data rather than from any AMD-led benchmark. The NVIDIA card dominates in raw compute, graphics throughput, and memory bandwidth. Its 896.0 GB/s of GDDR7 bandwidth, 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32, and 70 RT cores make it suitable for heavy workloads like high-resolution rendering, ray-traced scenes, and compute tasks. The PassMark G3D score of 32974 and GPU compute score of 20203 reinforce this position in the database.

The Radeon 860M wins no benchmark comparisons, but its role is defined by its integration. With a 15 W TDP, no power connectors, and system shared memory, it fits only in portable devices where a discrete card cannot be installed. Its 3.072 TFLOPS of FP32 and 8 RT cores are modest, and its nearest rival, the MX550, is itself a low-end discrete GPU. The database shows it trading nearly evenly with that card, at a delta of -0.1%, meaning it holds its own in the entry-level class.

For a desktop builder, the RTX 5070 Ti is the clear choice, with all benchmark data favoring it. For a portable device with no discrete GPU slot, the Radeon 860M is the applicable part, and its data shows it performs in line with the MX550. The RTX 5070 Ti also holds the edge in API support breadth, with the same DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 as the AMD IGP, but far more hardware resources behind those APIs. The use-case split is simple: the RTX 5070 Ti for any workload that can use a discrete card, the Radeon 860M for integrated-only systems where the 15 W power budget is the constraint.
