AMD Radeon Pro 570 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive performance gap between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile and the AMD Radeon Pro 570. In the two common benchmark tests, the GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile wins both, and by margins that are nothing short of overwhelming.

In Geekbench OpenCL, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile scores 166,986 points, while the AMD Radeon Pro 570 manages 27,702 points. That is a delta of 502.8% in favor of the NVIDIA part. The RTX 5080 Mobile delivers over six times the OpenCL compute performance of the Radeon Pro 570. This is not a close contest; it is a generational and architectural chasm.

The Geekbench Vulkan test tells a similar story. The RTX 5080 Mobile scores 169,754 points, versus 31,974 points for the Radeon Pro 570. The delta here is 430.9%. While slightly smaller than the OpenCL margin, it still represents a fivefold advantage for the NVIDIA part. The Vulkan result confirms that the RTX 5080 Mobile's dominance extends across different API workloads, not just a single compute path.

Looking at the broader benchmark picture, the RTX 5080 Mobile holds an average benchmark score of 38,349 across all recorded tests. The Radeon Pro 570's average score is 33,207. That is a difference of roughly 15.5% in average performance, but this figure masks the true scale of the gap in modern workloads. The averages include older DirectX tests where the Radeon Pro 570 may perform relatively better, but the modern compute and graphics API tests show the NVIDIA part is in another class entirely.

The RTX 5080 Mobile's percentile ranking among all GPUs is 81, placing it in the top quintile of all recorded graphics hardware. The Radeon Pro 570 sits at the 78th percentile. The percentile gap is modest, but the raw score differences in head-to-head tests are substantial. Context matters: the Radeon Pro 570 is an end-of-life product from 2017, while the RTX 5080 Mobile is an active product released in 2025.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 5080 Mobile wins in every head-to-head benchmark recorded. There is no benchmark in the database where the Radeon Pro 570 outperforms the RTX 5080 Mobile. The wins for the NVIDIA part are 2, and the wins for the AMD part are 0.

The RTX 5080 Mobile excels in OpenCL compute, where it scores 166,986 versus 27,702. This makes it the clear choice for GPU compute tasks, including OpenCL-based rendering, physics simulation, and general-purpose compute workloads. Its Vulkan performance of 169,754 points versus 31,974 shows that it also dominates in modern graphics API workloads, which are increasingly common in games and professional 3D applications.

The Radeon Pro 570 has no recorded wins. However, its benchmark profile includes a Geekbench Metal score of 39,945, a test that has no corresponding result for the RTX 5080 Mobile in the database. The Metal API is Apple's proprietary graphics and compute interface, so on macOS systems, the Radeon Pro 570 still has a functional role. The RTX 5080 Mobile's database does not include a Metal result, so direct comparison in that specific API is not possible from the recorded data.

The RTX 5080 Mobile also shows strength across a wider range of test types. It has recorded scores in PassMark DirectX 9, 10, 11, and 12, plus PassMark G2D, G3D, and GPU Compute. The Radeon Pro 570 only has Geekbench Metal, OpenCL, and Vulkan scores. This means the NVIDIA part has a much broader validation footprint in the database.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from completely different architectural eras. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile uses the GB203 chip, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process. The AMD Radeon Pro 570 uses the Ellesmere chip, based on GCN 4.0, fabricated on GlobalFoundries' 14 nm process.

The transistor counts reflect the generational leap. The RTX 5080 Mobile packs 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die. The Radeon Pro 570 has 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die. The transistor density tells the story: the NVIDIA part achieves 120.6 million transistors per square millimeter, while the AMD part achieves 24.6 million. The RTX 5080 Mobile crams nearly five times as many transistors into the same area.

The memory subsystems are also vastly different. The RTX 5080 Mobile ships with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Radeon Pro 570 has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on the same 256-bit bus width, but only achieves 217.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA part has four times the memory capacity and over four times the memory bandwidth.

Compute resources favor the RTX 5080 Mobile at every level. The NVIDIA part has 7,680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. The Radeon Pro 570 has 1,792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The raw throughput numbers confirm this: the RTX 5080 Mobile delivers 23.04 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 compute, while the Radeon Pro 570 delivers 3.960 TFLOPS of both.

The RTX 5080 Mobile also features 60 ray tracing cores and 240 tensor cores, hardware that the Radeon Pro 570 completely lacks. There are no RT cores and no tensor cores on the AMD part. This is a fundamental architectural difference: the NVIDIA GPU is designed for ray-traced rendering and AI-accelerated workloads, while the AMD GPU predates those features entirely.

Clock speeds show an interesting inversion. The Radeon Pro 570 has a higher base clock at 1000 MHz and a boost clock of 1105 MHz. The RTX 5080 Mobile has a base clock of 975 MHz and a boost clock of 1500 MHz. The NVIDIA part's boost clock is significantly higher, and combined with the massive core count, this produces the enormous performance advantage.

The power profiles are notable given the performance disparity. The RTX 5080 Mobile has a TDP of 80 W, while the Radeon Pro 570 consumes 150 W. The NVIDIA part delivers anywhere from 430% to 500% more performance in head-to-head tests while drawing nearly half the power. This is the clearest efficiency statement in the entire dataset.

Bus interfaces differ as well. The RTX 5080 Mobile uses PCIe 5.0 x16, while the Radeon Pro 570 uses PCIe 3.0 x16. The newer PCIe standard provides substantially more bandwidth for data transfer between the GPU and the host system, which matters for compute workloads that stream data.

API support also diverges. The RTX 5080 Mobile supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Radeon Pro 570 supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The NVIDIA part has a more modern DirectX feature level and a newer Vulkan version.

The Verdict

The data points to an unambiguous conclusion for most use cases: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile is the superior performer. It wins both head-to-head benchmarks by margins of 502.8% and 430.9%. It has more memory, more bandwidth, more compute units, ray tracing hardware, tensor cores, and a newer architecture. It does all of this while consuming 80 W versus the Radeon Pro 570's 150 W.

For anyone selecting a GPU for modern compute workloads, OpenCL acceleration, Vulkan rendering, or any DirectX 12 Ultimate application, the RTX 5080 Mobile is the only rational choice from this comparison. The 502.8% OpenCL lead and 430.9% Vulkan lead are not incremental improvements; they represent a completely different performance tier.

The Radeon Pro 570's only niche is legacy macOS systems where the Metal API is required. Its Geekbench Metal score of 39,945 is recorded in the database, and the RTX 5080 Mobile has no Metal result. On that specific platform and API, the AMD part remains functional. But the Radeon Pro 570 is end-of-life, uses a 14 nm process from 2017, and has no ray tracing or tensor core support. Its 4 GB GDDR5 memory and 217.0 GB/s bandwidth severely limit its modern workload capability.

The RTX 5080 Mobile's position relative to its nearest rivals also shows it is not an isolated outlier. Its average benchmark score of 38,349 is within 1% of the NVIDIA GeForce MX570, RTX 4080 Mobile, MX570 A, and AMD Radeon Pro 580X. This means the RTX 5080 Mobile sits in a competitive performance bracket among contemporary mobile GPUs. The Radeon Pro 570, by contrast, sits within 1.1% of the RTX 3050 Mobile, T550 Mobile, P104-100, and T600 Mobile, a much lower performance class.
