AMD Radeon 880M vs NVIDIA T600 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data between the AMD Radeon 880M and the NVIDIA T600 shows a decisive overall winner, but the results are not uniform across every test. Out of nine head-to-head comparisons, the Radeon 880M takes seven wins, while the T600 manages two narrow victories.

The largest margin in the entire comparison appears in Geekbench Vulkan, where the Radeon 880M scores 40006 against the T600's 25580. That is a 56.4% advantage, and it reflects a substantial gap in modern API performance. The Radeon 880M also dominates in Passmark GPU Compute, scoring 3719 versus 2402, a 54.8% lead. These two results alone indicate that the AMD part is significantly stronger in compute-oriented workloads.

The Radeon 880M also wins the Passmark DirectX 11 test by a wide margin, 73 to 49, which is a 49% difference. In DirectX 12, the AMD card leads 32 to 25, a 28% advantage. The Geekbench OpenCL result favors the Radeon 880M as well, 31285 to 27875, a 12.2% lead. Passmark G3D shows the AMD part ahead at 7615 versus 6479, a 17.5% margin. Finally, in Passmark G2D, the Radeon 880M scores 969 against 756, a 28.2% win.

The NVIDIA T600 does strike back in two legacy DirectX tests. In Passmark DirectX 10, the T600 scores 32 versus 31, a slim 3.1% margin. In Passmark DirectX 9, the T600 leads 114 to 97, a 14.9% advantage. These are the only tests where the T600 comes out ahead, and both are older API workloads. The pattern suggests that the T600 retains some strength in legacy rasterization paths, but it cannot match the Radeon 880M in modern APIs or compute.

Looking at average benchmark scores, the Radeon 880M sits at 8436, while the T600 averages 7035. That is a raw difference of about 1400 points, roughly 20% higher for the AMD part. The percentile rankings reinforce this: the Radeon 880M lands in the 43rd percentile of all GPUs, while the T600 sits in the 39th percentile. Neither card is a top-tier part, but the Radeon 880M consistently outperforms the T600 in the recorded database measurements.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon 880M is the clear choice for compute-heavy workloads. Its Passmark GPU Compute score of 3719 is 54.8% higher than the T600's 2402, and its Geekbench Vulkan result of 40006 is 56.4% higher. For users running OpenCL workloads, the Radeon 880M also leads by 12.2%. Modern DirectX titles favor the AMD part as well: the 49% lead in DirectX 11 and the 28% lead in DirectX 12 show that the Radeon 880M handles current graphics APIs with more headroom. The G3D score of 7615 versus 6479, a 17.5% advantage, further confirms that general 3D rendering tasks go to the AMD side.

The NVIDIA T600, by contrast, wins only in legacy API scenarios. Its DirectX 9 score of 114 beats the Radeon 880M's 97 by 14.9%, and its DirectX 10 score of 32 edges out 31 by 3.1%. These are narrow margins, and they apply only to older games or applications that rely on deprecated graphics paths. The T600 also has a lower average benchmark score overall, so these two wins do not offset the broader performance deficit. In practical terms, the T600 might be preferable for a legacy application that is locked to DirectX 9, but for anything modern, the data points squarely to the Radeon 880M.

The 2D performance also favors AMD. The Passmark G2D score of 969 versus 756, a 28.2% difference, indicates that the Radeon 880M handles desktop compositing and 2D acceleration more effectively. This matters for general productivity use, where the GPU is not under heavy 3D load.

The Verdict

The data supports the AMD Radeon 880M for most users. It wins seven of nine head-to-head tests, and its victories include the most demanding modern workloads: Vulkan, OpenCL, DirectX 11, DirectX 12, and general 3D rendering. The margins are often large, ranging from 12.2% up to 56.4%. Its average benchmark score is higher, 8436 versus 7035, and its percentile ranking is better, 43rd versus 39th. For gaming on modern APIs, compute tasks, or general graphics work, the Radeon 880M is the stronger part.

The NVIDIA T600 is only recommended for a narrow scenario. If a workload is strictly limited to DirectX 9 or DirectX 10, the T600 does hold a measurable edge, 14.9% in DirectX 9 and 3.1% in DirectX 10. That could matter for a legacy software environment where newer APIs are unavailable. However, the T600 loses on every other recorded metric, and its overall average score is about 17% lower. The T600 also carries a higher TDP, 40 W versus 15 W, which makes the Radeon 880M more attractive in power-constrained systems. The Radeon 880M is an integrated graphics processor, while the T600 is a single-slot discrete card, but the performance data favors the integrated part regardless.

Users who prioritize modern gaming, compute acceleration, or energy efficiency should choose the AMD Radeon 880M. Users who must support an aging DirectX 9 or DirectX 10 application with no upgrade path may find the NVIDIA T600 acceptable, but the benchmark evidence shows it is the weaker overall product.
