AMD Radeon Pro 570X vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data splits these two mobile GPUs into entirely different performance tiers, and the use-case separation is stark. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile wins every head-to-head comparison in the database, with margins that are not close. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 4080 Mobile scores 159575 against the AMD Radeon Pro 570X's 27604, a 478.1% advantage. In Geekbench Vulkan, the NVIDIA part scores 145807 versus 28859, a 405.2% lead. If your workload is any modern compute API, OpenCL or Vulkan, the RTX 4080 Mobile is the only rational choice from this pairing.

The AMD Radeon Pro 570X does not win a single recorded benchmark against the NVIDIA part. However, it does have one unique capability in the database: a Geekbench Metal score of 40066. The RTX 4080 Mobile has no Metal result recorded, so for macOS or Metal-specific environments, the AMD part is the only option with data. That is not a performance endorsement; it is a compatibility note. The Radeon Pro 570X also sits in a different product class, the Radeon Pro Mac 500X Series, aimed at Apple ecosystem integration, while the RTX 4080 Mobile is a Windows-oriented GeForce 40-series part. For raw throughput in cross-platform APIs, the NVIDIA GPU dominates. For proprietary Apple compute stacks, the AMD part is the sole entry with recorded scores.

The average benchmark scores reinforce the gap. The RTX 4080 Mobile averages 38135 across all its recorded tests, while the Radeon Pro 570X averages 32176. That is an 18.5% difference in the database's aggregate metric, but the individual OpenCL and Vulkan deltas are far larger because the AMD part's Metal score pulls its average up. The RTX 4080 Mobile also ranks at the 81st percentile of all GPUs, versus the 76th percentile for the Radeon Pro 570X. The NVIDIA part is closer in percentile ranking than the raw compute deltas suggest, which indicates the AMD card still outperforms a large swath of the GPU population, but not this specific rival.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and foundries. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile uses the AD104 chip built on Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process. It packs 35,800 million transistors into a 294 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 121.8M per mm². The AMD Radeon Pro 570X uses the Ellesmere chip built on GCN 4.0 architecture, fabricated by GlobalFoundries on a 14 nm process. It contains 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die, for a density of 24.6M per mm². The NVIDIA chip is far denser, newer, and significantly more complex.

The compute unit counts reflect that gap. The RTX 4080 Mobile has 7424 shading units, 232 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation pipelines. It also includes 58 ray tracing cores and 232 tensor cores, making it a full featured modern GPU with hardware acceleration for ray tracing and AI workloads. The Radeon Pro 570X has 1792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. It has no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. The NVIDIA part has more than four times the shading units and double the texture units.

Clock speeds tell a different story. The RTX 4080 Mobile runs at a base clock of 1290 MHz and a boost clock of 1665 MHz. The Radeon Pro 570X runs at a base of 1000 MHz and a boost of 1105 MHz. The NVIDIA part has higher clocks, but the Radeon's lower clocks are expected given its older process node and lower power envelope. However, the NVIDIA GPU's TDP is listed at 110 W, while the AMD part is listed at 150 W. The RTX 4080 Mobile delivers vastly more performance while drawing less power, a direct result of the 5 nm process advantage.

Memory architecture differs fundamentally. The RTX 4080 Mobile uses 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit interface, with memory clocked at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) for 432.0 GB/s bandwidth. The Radeon Pro 570X uses 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit interface, with memory at 1695 MHz (6.8 Gbps effective) for 217.0 GB/s bandwidth. The NVIDIA part has a narrower bus but much faster memory, resulting in double the bandwidth and triple the capacity. The Radeon's wider bus cannot compensate for older, slower memory technology.

The bus interfaces also differ. The RTX 4080 Mobile uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Radeon Pro 570X uses PCIe 3.0 x16. Both are integrated GPUs (IGP slot width) with no power connectors and portable device dependent display outputs. The NVIDIA part supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD part supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The production status also differs: the RTX 4080 Mobile is Active, while the Radeon Pro 570X is End-of-life.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains two direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons, and both are decisive wins for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 4080 Mobile scores 159575 against the Radeon Pro 570X's 27604. The delta is 478.1%, meaning the NVIDIA part is nearly five times faster in this compute test. This is the largest margin in the entire comparison. The OpenCL result reflects the massive gap in shading units, memory bandwidth, and architectural efficiency.

In Geekbench Vulkan, the RTX 4080 Mobile scores 145807, while the Radeon Pro 570X scores 28859. The delta is 405.2%, again a massive lead for the NVIDIA part. Vulkan is a low-level graphics and compute API, and the Ada Lovelace architecture with its dedicated ray tracing and tensor cores clearly accelerates workloads in ways that the older GCN 4.0 design cannot match. The Radeon's Vulkan score is actually slightly higher than its OpenCL score (28859 versus 27604), but that improvement is trivial compared to the NVIDIA part's absolute performance.

The RTX 4080 Mobile's other recorded benchmarks show consistency across different API generations. It scores 24926 in Passmark G3D, 11191 in Passmark GPU Compute, 929 in Passmark G2D, and 286 in Passmark DirectX 9. Its DirectX 11 score is 244, DirectX 10 is 157, and DirectX 12 is 96. The Radeon Pro 570X has no Passmark results in the database, so no comparison is possible for those tests. The AMD card's only other recorded benchmark is Geekbench Metal at 40066, which is its best score but has no NVIDIA counterpart.

Looking at the nearest rivals provides context for each card's standing. The RTX 4080 Mobile's average score of 38135 is within 0.4% of the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 (38299) and 0.6% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile (38349). It is 1.3% ahead of both the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 (37648) and the NVIDIA Tesla P4 (37628). The Radeon Pro 570X's average of 32176 is 0.7% behind the AMD FirePro S10000 (32388), 0.9% behind the AMD Radeon RX 7900 GRE (32456), 0.9% ahead of the Intel Arc Pro A30M (31894), and 1.1% behind the AMD FirePro S9300 X2 (32540). The RTX 4080 Mobile sits among newer, high-end parts, while the Radeon Pro 570X sits among a mix of workstation and older enthusiast GPUs.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile outperforms the AMD Radeon Pro 570X by margins of 478.1% in OpenCL and 405.2% in Vulkan. It has more than four times the shading units, triple the memory capacity, double the memory bandwidth, a newer architecture, a smaller process node, and a lower TDP. The RTX 4080 Mobile is the superior GPU for any workload that uses OpenCL or Vulkan, which covers the vast majority of cross-platform compute and modern graphics applications.

The AMD Radeon Pro 570X is not without a niche. Its Geekbench Metal score of 40066 is the only recorded data point where it has a measurable result, and it is an End-of-life product from 2019 with GCN 4.0 architecture. For Mac systems that require Metal support and do not have access to NVIDIA drivers, the Radeon Pro 570X is the only option with recorded performance data in this comparison. Its 76th percentile ranking shows it is not a weak GPU by global standards, but it is hopelessly outclassed by the RTX 4080 Mobile.

The RTX 4080 Mobile ranks at the 81st percentile, has an active production status, and sits among rivals like the RTX 5080 Mobile and RTX 4070 in average score. It is a current-generation, high-performance mobile GPU. The Radeon Pro 570X ranks at the 76th percentile, is end-of-life, and sits among workstation relics like the FirePro S10000 and S9300 X2. For any buyer choosing between these two based on the recorded data, the RTX 4080 Mobile is the clear pick for performance, features, and longevity. The Radeon Pro 570X should only be considered if the target platform requires Metal and cannot use NVIDIA hardware.
