Analysis: AMD Radeon Pro 570 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains two direct comparisons between the AMD Radeon Pro 570 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, both of which are decisive victories for the NVIDIA part. In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the Radeon Pro 570 scores 27,702 points, while the RTX 3070 Ti scores 119,718 points. That represents a delta of -76.9%, meaning the NVIDIA card is roughly 4.3 times faster in raw compute throughput as measured by OpenCL. The Geekbench Vulkan result is equally lopsided: the AMD card produces 31,974 points versus 139,541 points for the RTX 3070 Ti, a -77.1% delta. In both API workloads, the NVIDIA GPU delivers more than 100,000 additional points, which is a gap that no driver optimization or workload tuning could plausibly close.

The overall average benchmark score tells a similar story, though it is somewhat compressed by the different test suites available for each product. The Radeon Pro 570 has an average score of 33,207 across its three recorded benchmarks (Geekbench Metal, OpenCL, and Vulkan). The RTX 3070 Ti averages 29,945 across ten tests, which includes several Passmark subtests that drag its mean downward. Despite that, the RTX 3070 Ti still holds a higher percentile rank among all GPUs in the database: 75th percentile versus 78th for the AMD card. That apparent contradiction is resolved by looking at the rivals: the Radeon Pro 570 sits within 1.1% of mobile workstation GPUs like the NVIDIA T600 Mobile and T550 Mobile, while the RTX 3070 Ti trades blows with desktop-class cards like the AMD Radeon RX 6800 and the RTX 2080 Ti.

The head-to-head wins tally is stark: the RTX 3070 Ti wins 2 out of 2 shared tests, and the Radeon Pro 570 wins none. In the Vulkan test specifically, the AMD card's 31,974 is actually its best Geekbench result, yet it still trails the NVIDIA part by 107,567 points. The OpenCL gap is slightly smaller in absolute terms (91,016 points) but similarly one-sided. No single metric in the database shows the AMD card within striking distance of the RTX 3070 Ti in any shared workload.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different eras and design philosophies. The AMD Radeon Pro 570 uses the Ellesmere chip built on GCN 4.0 architecture, manufactured on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. It packs 5,700 million transistors into a 232 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 24.6 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti uses the GA104 chip with Ampere architecture, fabricated by Samsung on an 8 nm node. It contains 17,400 million transistors on a 392 mm² die, for a density of 44.4 million per square millimeter. That is nearly double the transistor density and roughly three times the total transistor count.

Memory configurations diverge sharply. The Radeon Pro 570 has 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 217.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 3070 Ti has 8 GB of GDDR6X, also on a 256-bit bus, but with 608.3 GB/s of bandwidth, nearly three times the memory throughput. Clock speeds also favor the NVIDIA part: the AMD GPU runs at 1000 MHz base and 1105 MHz boost, while the RTX 3070 Ti runs at 1575 MHz base and 1770 MHz boost. Memory clocks are 1695 MHz (6.8 Gbps effective) for AMD versus 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA, though the GDDR6X standard allows far higher data rates per pin.

Compute resources show the scale of the architectural gap. The Radeon Pro 570 has 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 32 render output units. The RTX 3070 Ti has 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The NVIDIA card also includes 48 RT cores and 192 tensor cores, features entirely absent from the AMD part. Pixel fill rates are 35.36 GPixel/s for AMD versus 169.9 GPixel/s for NVIDIA. Texture fill rates are 123.8 GTexel/s versus 339.8 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 3.960 TFLOPS for the Radeon Pro 570 and 21.75 TFLOPS for the RTX 3070 Ti, a 5.5x difference. Both cards have 1:1 FP16 to FP32 ratios.

Power and interface specs reflect their different market positions. The Radeon Pro 570 is an integrated GPU (IGP) with a 150 W TDP, no power connectors, and a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface. Its display outputs are listed as "Portable Device Dependent," indicating a mobile or all-in-one form factor. The RTX 3070 Ti is a dual-slot add-in card with a 290 W TDP, a single 12-pin power connector, a suggested 600 W PSU, and PCIe 4.0 x16. It measures 267 mm in length and 112 mm in height, with outputs of 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. API support differs as well: the AMD card supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3, while the NVIDIA card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The RTX 3070 Ti also carries dedicated ray tracing and tensor hardware, which the GCN 4.0 architecture lacks entirely. That means the AMD card cannot execute hardware-accelerated ray tracing or DLSS-style tensor operations, regardless of driver support. The transistor density advantage of the Samsung 8 nm process allows NVIDIA to pack more compute units per area, while the older 14 nm GlobalFoundries process limits AMD to a much smaller configuration.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti outperforms the AMD Radeon Pro 570 in every shared benchmark by a massive margin. In OpenCL, the RTX 3070 Ti leads by 76.9%; in Vulkan, by 77.1%. The AMD card's average benchmark score of 33,207 is closer to the RTX 3070 Ti's average of 29,945 only because the two products have different test suites. When the same workload runs on both, the NVIDIA part is roughly four times faster.

Who should pick the Radeon Pro 570? The data suggests a narrow use case. Its 78th percentile rank among all GPUs, its 150 W TDP, and its integrated form factor point to systems where power draw and physical space are constrained. Its nearest rivals are all mobile or low-profile GPUs: the RTX 3050 Mobile (0.1% delta), the T550 Mobile (0.1% delta), the P104-100 (0.7% delta), and the T600 Mobile (1.1% delta). That places it firmly in the mobile workstation or compact desktop category. It has no RT cores, no tensor cores, and only 4 GB of VRAM, so it is suited to legacy professional workloads or basic compute tasks that fit within its memory footprint.

Who should pick the RTX 3070 Ti? Anyone whose workload appears in the head-to-head tests. Its 75th percentile rank is slightly lower than the AMD card's, but that is an artifact of the broader test suite it runs. Its nearest rivals are desktop-class cards: the RTX 5070 Mobile (0.1% delta), the RX 6800 (-0.5% delta), the RTX 2080 Ti (0.5% delta), and the RX 6700 (-1.6% delta). Those are all high-performance GPUs from the same or later generations. The RTX 3070 Ti's 8 GB GDDR6X, 608.3 GB/s bandwidth, 21.75 TFLOPS FP32, and dedicated RT/tensor cores make it a far more capable general-purpose compute device. The launch MSRP for the RTX 3070 Ti is 599 USD, which the database records once as a reference point.

For compute-heavy tasks like OpenCL or Vulkan rendering, the choice is not close. For power-constrained or space-constrained systems, the Radeon Pro 570 remains a viable option, but only if the workload can tolerate its 4 GB memory and 3.96 TFLOPS ceiling. The RTX 3070 Ti wins on every measurable shared metric, and the only reason to select the AMD card is a system constraint that prevents using a dual-slot, 290 W add-in card.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 3070 Ti wins in every shared benchmark category. Its OpenCL and Vulkan scores are both above 119,000 and 139,000 respectively, versus 27,702 and 31,974 for the Radeon Pro 570. It also wins on raw specifications: 21.75 TFLOPS FP32 versus 3.96 TFLOPS, 8 GB GDDR6X versus 4 GB GDDR5, and 608.3 GB/s versus 217.0 GB/s bandwidth. For any workload that appears in the head-to-head tests, the NVIDIA card is the clear choice.

The Radeon Pro 570 has no benchmark wins, but it does have advantages that are not captured in performance scores. Its 150 W TDP is nearly half the RTX 3070 Ti's 290 W, and it requires no power connectors. Its integrated form factor (IGP) means it can fit in systems where a dual-slot 267 mm card cannot. Its PCIe 3.0 x16 interface is older but still functional, and its display outputs are "Portable Device Dependent," which suits all-in-one or laptop designs. The RTX 3070 Ti requires a 600 W PSU and a 12-pin connector, so it is not an option for constrained power budgets.

Use-case splits from the data: for high-throughput compute, rendering, or gaming on a desktop with adequate power, the RTX 3070 Ti is the only rational choice. For legacy professional applications, low-power embedded systems, or portable workstations where the GPU is soldered onto the board, the Radeon Pro 570 remains usable. The RTX 3070 Ti also wins on future-proofing: DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and hardware ray tracing. The Radeon Pro 570 caps out at DirectX 12_0 and Vulkan 1.3, with no RT or tensor cores. In short, the RTX 3070 Ti wins on performance and features, while the Radeon Pro 570 wins on power efficiency and form factor flexibility.
