AMD Radeon Pro 570X vs NVIDIA TITAN V Comparison

The NVIDIA TITAN V and AMD Radeon Pro 570X occupy opposite ends of the hardware spectrum, and the benchmark data reflects a decisive performance gap. In the only two directly comparable tests, the Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan workloads, the TITAN V wins both. The OpenCL result shows the NVIDIA part scoring 157,265 against the AMD’s 27,604, a delta of 469.7%. The Vulkan test tells a similar story, with 152,117 versus 28,859, a 427.1% advantage. These are not marginal differences; the TITAN V is operating in a different performance tier entirely.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data is unambiguous. The NVIDIA TITAN V dominates both shared workloads, and the magnitude of the victory is exceptional. In Geekbench OpenCL, the TITAN V’s score of 157,265 is 469.7% higher than the Radeon Pro 570X’s 27,604. To contextualize, the Pro 570X’s average benchmark score of 32,176 places it near rivals like the AMD FirePro S10000, which scores 32,388, and the Intel Arc Pro A30M at 31,894. The TITAN V’s average score of 34,355, meanwhile, sits close to the NVIDIA RTX A1000 at 34,207 and the NVIDIA T1000 8 GB at 34,561.

The Vulkan result is nearly as lopsided. The TITAN V scores 152,117, while the Radeon Pro 570X manages 28,859, yielding a 427.1% lead for NVIDIA. This consistent pattern across both APIs indicates the gap is not workload-specific but rather a fundamental throughput difference. The TITAN V’s FP32 compute of 14.90 TFLOPS dwarfs the Pro 570X’s 3.960 TFLOPS, and the memory bandwidth disparity is similarly stark: 651.3 GB/s versus 217.0 GB/s.

Looking at the broader benchmark suite available for the TITAN V, its Passmark G3D score of 19,805 and average benchmark score of 34,355 place it in the 79th percentile of all GPUs. The Radeon Pro 570X, with far fewer benchmark entries, sits in the 76th percentile. While the percentile difference is only three points, the raw scores tell a different story: the TITAN V’s average is 34,355, and the Pro 570X’s is 32,176, a difference of roughly 6.8%. However, this average includes many tests the AMD card does not have, so the head-to-head results are the most reliable comparison.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide between these two GPUs is profound. The TITAN V is built on NVIDIA’s Volta architecture, using the GV100 chip fabricated on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It packs 21,100 million transistors onto an 815 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 25.9M per mm². The Radeon Pro 570X uses AMD’s GCN 4.0 architecture, with the Ellesmere chip on a 14 nm process from GlobalFoundries. It has 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die, a density of 24.6M per mm².

Core configurations differ massively. The TITAN V features 5,120 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. It also includes 640 tensor cores, a defining feature of the Volta architecture designed for deep learning. The Radeon Pro 570X has 1,792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with no tensor cores present. The memory subsystem is equally divergent: the TITAN V uses 12 GB of HBM2 on a 3072-bit bus, while the Pro 570X uses 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus.

Clock speeds show the TITAN V running at a 1200 MHz base and 1455 MHz boost, whereas the Pro 570X runs at 1000 MHz base and 1105 MHz boost. The TITAN V’s memory clocks at 848 MHz (1696 Mbps effective), while the Pro 570X’s memory runs at 1695 MHz (6.8 Gbps effective). Despite the Pro 570X’s higher memory clock, its narrower bus and older memory type result in far lower bandwidth. Pixel and texture rates follow suit: the TITAN V achieves 139.7 GPixel/s and 465.6 GTexel/s, versus the Pro 570X’s 35.36 GPixel/s and 123.8 GTexel/s.

Power and physical specifications also differ sharply. The TITAN V has a 250 W TDP, is a dual-slot card, requires a 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin power connector, and suggests a 600 W PSU. It measures 267 mm in length, 112 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The Radeon Pro 570X is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with a 150 W TDP, no power connectors, and dimensions listed as portable device dependent. The TITAN V outputs via 1x HDMI 2.0 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the Pro 570X’s outputs are portable device dependent. API support also differs: the TITAN V supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, while the Pro 570X supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear conclusion: the NVIDIA TITAN V is the superior performer in every measurable benchmark shared with the AMD Radeon Pro 570X. The 469.7% lead in OpenCL and 427.1% lead in Vulkan are not incremental improvements; they represent a generational leap in compute capability. The TITAN V’s architecture, with its 5,120 shading units, 640 tensor cores, and 651.3 GB/s of memory bandwidth, is designed for demanding compute workloads, and the numbers confirm this.

Who should pick the TITAN V? Anyone requiring maximum throughput in OpenCL or Vulkan applications, or who needs the 12 GB HBM2 memory capacity and bandwidth. Its 79th percentile ranking among all GPUs, with an average score of 34,355, places it in the upper tier, comparable to professional cards like the NVIDIA RTX A1000. The card’s end-of-life status and launch MSRP of 2,999 USD are noteworthy, but the performance data justifies its position.

Who should pick the Radeon Pro 570X? The data does not support a performance-based choice. Its 76th percentile ranking and average score of 32,176 are respectable, but its nearest rivals are the AMD FirePro S10000 and Intel Arc Pro A30M, not the TITAN V. The Pro 570X’s advantages are qualitative: it is an IGP with no power connectors, a 150 W TDP, and portable device dependent outputs, making it suitable for compact or mobile systems. However, in raw benchmark terms, it loses every head-to-head test. The choice is not about which is better; it is about whether the workload fits the TITAN V’s massive compute envelope or the Pro 570X’s integrated, low-power design.
