AMD Radeon Pro 560 vs NVIDIA TITAN Xp Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive NVIDIA TITAN Xp advantage in the two shared benchmark tests. In Geekbench OpenCL, the TITAN Xp scores 72,585 against the Radeon Pro 560's 15,504, a margin of 368.2%. The Vulkan gap is even wider: 87,180 versus 16,232, a 437.1% difference. These are not close contests; the TITAN Xp delivers roughly four to five times the compute throughput in these workloads.

The TITAN Xp's average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 19,177, placing it at the 64th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals by average score are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 at 19,164 (0.1% behind), the NVIDIA Tesla K20m at 19,089 (0.5% behind), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile at 19,049 (0.7% behind), and the AMD Radeon RX 6600 at 19,036 (0.7% behind). This clustering indicates the TITAN Xp sits in a tightly contested performance band despite its massive lead over the Radeon Pro 560.

The Radeon Pro 560's average benchmark score is 17,551, good for the 61st percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 780M at 17,588 (0.2% ahead), the AMD Radeon Pro 460 at 17,509 (0.2% behind), the NVIDIA Tesla K40c at 17,468 (0.5% behind), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 at 17,639 (0.5% ahead). The Radeon Pro 560 is competitive with these parts, but none of them approach the TITAN Xp's output.

In Geekbench Metal, a test only the Radeon Pro 560 ran, it scored 20,918. The TITAN Xp has no Metal result in the database, so direct comparison is impossible. However, the OpenCL and Vulkan results paint a consistent picture: the TITAN Xp dominates in cross-platform compute workloads.

The TITAN Xp also holds wins in Passmark tests that the Radeon Pro 560 did not run: DirectX 9 at 226, DirectX 10 at 119, DirectX 11 at 152, DirectX 12 at 69, G2D at 883, G3D at 18,750, and GPU Compute at 9,430. These results are not comparable to the Radeon Pro 560 directly, but they reinforce the TITAN Xp's standing as a high-throughput card.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The NVIDIA TITAN Xp uses the GP102 chip on the Pascal architecture, built on a 16 nm process at TSMC. It packs 11,800 million transistors into a 471 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 25.1 million per square millimeter. The AMD Radeon Pro 560 uses the Polaris 21 chip on GCN 4.0, fabricated on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. It contains 3,000 million transistors on a 123 mm² die, with a density of 24.4 million per square millimeter. The density figures are nearly identical, but the TITAN Xp's die is nearly four times larger in area and carries nearly four times the transistor count.

The TITAN Xp features 3,840 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The Radeon Pro 560 has 1,024 shading units, 64 TMUs, and 16 ROPs. These are massive structural differences: the TITAN Xp has 3.75 times the shading units, 3.75 times the TMUs, and 6 times the ROPs. The pixel rate tells the story: 151.9 GPixel/s for the TITAN Xp versus 14.51 GPixel/s for the Radeon Pro 560. Texture rate is 379.7 GTexel/s versus 58.05 GTexel/s.

Compute throughput diverges sharply. The TITAN Xp delivers 12.15 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the Radeon Pro 560 manages 1.858 TFLOPS. That is roughly 6.5 times the raw single-precision throughput. In FP16, the TITAN Xp is heavily throttled at 189.8 GFLOPS due to a 1:64 ratio, meaning it processes FP16 at a small fraction of its FP32 rate. The Radeon Pro 560 runs FP16 at a 1:1 ratio, delivering the same 1.858 TFLOPS as its FP32. This is a notable architectural difference: the Radeon Pro 560 is designed for balanced FP16 and FP32, while the TITAN Xp prioritizes FP32 and uses FP16 only in a limited fashion.

Memory subsystems are equally divergent. The TITAN Xp uses 12 GB of GDDR5X on a 384-bit bus, with memory clocked at 1426 MHz (11.4 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 547.6 GB/s. The Radeon Pro 560 uses 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 128-bit bus, with memory at 1270 MHz (5.1 Gbps effective) and bandwidth of 81.28 GB/s. The TITAN Xp has 6.7 times the bandwidth, which is critical for high-resolution textures and compute workloads that saturate memory.

API support differs slightly. Both support DirectX 12 and OpenGL 4.6, but the TITAN Xp lists Vulkan 1.4 while the Radeon Pro 560 lists Vulkan 1.3. The TITAN Xp also supports DirectX 12_1 features, while the Radeon Pro 560 is limited to DirectX 12_0. Power consumption reflects the performance gap: the TITAN Xp is rated at 250 W TDP and requires a 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin power connector, with a suggested PSU of 600 W. The Radeon Pro 560 is a 75 W part with no power connectors, designed as an integrated GPU (IGP) for portable devices.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The NVIDIA TITAN Xp is the superior performer in every shared benchmark, with leads of 368.2% in OpenCL and 437.1% in Vulkan. Its average benchmark score of 19,177 is 9.3% higher than the Radeon Pro 560's 17,551, and its percentile rank of 64 versus 61 reflects a meaningful gap in the overall distribution of GPU scores.

The Radeon Pro 560 is not a competitor to the TITAN Xp in raw performance. It is a low-power integrated solution for Mac portables, with a 75 W TDP and no discrete power connectors. Its strengths lie in efficiency and form factor, not throughput. The TITAN Xp is a dual-slot, 250 W desktop card that requires a 600 W PSU and external power. These are different product categories.

For users who need maximum compute performance, the TITAN Xp is the clear choice from the recorded data. Its 12.15 TFLOPS FP32, 547.6 GB/s bandwidth, and 12 GB of GDDR5X make it suitable for demanding workloads. The Radeon Pro 560's 1.858 TFLOPS and 81.28 GB/s bandwidth are adequate for light tasks but will struggle with heavy compute or modern gaming.

For users who need a low-power, integrated GPU for a portable system, the Radeon Pro 560 is the only option between the two. Its 75 W TDP and IGP form factor mean it can be deployed in thin-and-light laptops without discrete power delivery. The TITAN Xp cannot fill that role.

There is one caveat: the Radeon Pro 560's FP16 performance matches its FP32 at 1.858 TFLOPS, while the TITAN Xp's FP16 is only 189.8 GFLOPS. If a workload relies heavily on FP16 and does not require FP32 throughput, the Radeon Pro 560's balanced design could be advantageous. However, for the vast majority of tasks measured in the database, the TITAN Xp dominates.
