AMD Radeon Pro 575 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive overall victory for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER, winning both head-to-head benchmark comparisons against the AMD Radeon Pro 575. The magnitude of these wins is substantial, reflecting the generational and architectural gulf between the two products.

In the Geekbench OpenCL test, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER scored 219,065 points, while the AMD Radeon Pro 575 managed 34,596 points. This translates to a delta of 533.2%, meaning the NVIDIA part is over five times faster in this compute workload. The OpenCL result is particularly telling because it exercises general-purpose GPU compute, where the NVIDIA card's massive shading core count and modern architecture deliver an overwhelming advantage. The AMD Radeon Pro 575's score of 34,596 places it in a completely different performance tier, closer to entry-level mobile parts than to a modern high-end desktop GPU.

The Vulkan benchmark tells a similar story, with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER scoring 260,075 points against 37,878 points for the AMD Radeon Pro 575. The delta here is 586.6%, an even larger margin than the OpenCL test. Vulkan is a low-level graphics API that benefits from efficient hardware utilization, and the NVIDIA architecture's superior resource management and higher raw throughput are clearly reflected in this result. The AMD part's score of 37,878 suggests it is operating at a fraction of the NVIDIA card's capability in modern graphics workloads.

Looking at the broader benchmark context, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER has an average benchmark score of 54,209 across all recorded tests, while the AMD Radeon Pro 575 averages 39,555. The NVIDIA card sits at the 86th percentile among all GPUs in the database, whereas the AMD part is at the 82nd percentile. While both are above average, the percentile comparison undersells the true performance gap because the AMD card's percentile is inflated by its limited benchmark set, which only includes three Geekbench tests. The NVIDIA card's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 at 54,247 points (0.1% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X at 54,828 points (1.1% higher), and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB at 55,698 points (2.7% higher). These are all modern, high-performance parts, and the RTX 4080 SUPER sits right among them. By contrast, the AMD Radeon Pro 575's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile at 39,568 points (0% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro 575X at 39,116 points (1.1% lower), and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100 at 40,063 points (1.3% higher). The RTX A500 Mobile is a low-power laptop GPU, which puts the Radeon Pro 575's performance tier into perspective.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER also recorded scores in additional tests not covered by the head-to-head comparison. Its Passmark G3D score of 34,245 and Passmark GPU Compute score of 19,822 demonstrate robust performance across both rasterization and compute-heavy workloads. The AMD Radeon Pro 575 has no comparable Passmark data in the database, so the head-to-head comparison is limited to the two Geekbench tests, but the available evidence is unambiguous: the NVIDIA card wins both by margins exceeding 500%.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide between these two GPUs is vast, spanning multiple generations of design philosophy and manufacturing technology. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is built on the Ada Lovelace architecture using the AD103 chip, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The AMD Radeon Pro 575 uses the older GCN 4.0 architecture with the Ellesmere chip, manufactured on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. The process node difference alone, 5 nm versus 14 nm, explains a substantial portion of the performance gap, as the newer node allows for significantly higher transistor density and power efficiency.

The transistor counts illustrate this disparity clearly. The NVIDIA chip contains 45,900 million transistors on a die size of 379 mm², yielding a transistor density of 121.1 million transistors per mm². The AMD chip has only 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die, for a density of 24.6 million per mm². The NVIDIA chip packs roughly eight times more transistors despite being only about 60% larger in die area. This density advantage translates directly into the NVIDIA card's massive compute resource advantage: 10,240 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 112 ROPs, versus the AMD card's 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 32 ROPs.

Ray tracing and tensor acceleration are exclusive to the NVIDIA part. The RTX 4080 SUPER includes 80 dedicated RT cores and 320 tensor cores, hardware that the Radeon Pro 575 completely lacks. The AMD card has no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores at all. This means the NVIDIA card can accelerate ray-traced workloads and AI inference tasks in hardware, while the AMD card would rely on compute shaders or lack these capabilities entirely.

Memory architecture also differs fundamentally. The NVIDIA card features 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 736.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The AMD card has 4 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, providing 217.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA card offers four times the memory capacity and over three times the bandwidth. Memory clock rates are 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective) for NVIDIA versus 1695 MHz (6.8 Gbps effective) for AMD; the GDDR6X memory type is the key differentiator, allowing far higher effective data rates.

Clock speeds for the NVIDIA card are specified as 2295 MHz base and 2550 MHz boost, while the AMD card's base and boost clocks are not recorded in the database. The NVIDIA card's pixel rate is 285.6 GPixel/s and texture rate is 816.0 GTexel/s, compared to 35.07 GPixel/s and 140.3 GTexel/s for the AMD card. FP32 compute is 52.22 TFLOPS for NVIDIA versus 4.489 TFLOPS for AMD, a greater than 11-fold difference.

Power consumption figures are 320 W for the NVIDIA card versus 150 W for the AMD card, though the comparison is complicated by form factor differences: the NVIDIA card is a triple-slot desktop card requiring a 700 W power supply and a 16-pin connector, while the AMD card is an MXM module with no power connectors, designed for portable devices. The AMD card's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent, whereas the NVIDIA card offers 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. PCIe interface differs as well: PCIe 4.0 x16 for NVIDIA versus PCIe 3.0 x16 for AMD.

API support shows a similar generational divide. The NVIDIA card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4 for NVIDIA versus DirectX 12 (12_0) and Vulkan 1.3 for AMD. OpenGL support is 4.6 for both.

The release dates span nearly seven years: the NVIDIA card was released on 2024-01-30, while the AMD card arrived on 2017-06-04. Both are now end-of-life products, with the NVIDIA card succeeding the GeForce 30 series and preceding the GeForce 50 series.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER is the only choice for any workload requiring modern GPU acceleration. In raw compute performance, measured by FP32 throughput of 52.22 TFLOPS, the NVIDIA card outperforms the AMD card by more than a factor of eleven. OpenCL results in the database show a 533.2% advantage, and Vulkan results show a 586.6% advantage. For applications leveraging the Vulkan API, the NVIDIA card is categorically superior.

The AMD Radeon Pro 575 wins no recorded benchmark comparisons. There are zero head-to-head wins for the AMD card in the database, with winsA equal to 2 for NVIDIA and winsB equal to 0. Every test result favors the NVIDIA card, and the average score comparison between the two parts confirms this.

For users constrained to portable device form factors, the AMD Radeon Pro 575's MXM module design is the only viable option of the two, as the NVIDIA card is a triple-slot desktop part. The AMD card uses 150 W TDP compared to 320 W for NVIDIA, requires no power connectors, and has no suggested PSU rating, making it suitable for power-constrained systems. However, suitability for a form factor does not translate into performance wins, and within the MXM category the AMD card sits at the 82nd percentile among all GPUs.

The AMD card's memory bandwidth of 217.0 GB/s is sufficient for its 4 GB GDDR5 memory, and its 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs provide reasonable throughput for its era, but these resources are all simply too small to compete with the NVIDIA card's 736.3 GB/s bandwidth, 320 TMUs, 112 ROPs, and 10,240 shading units. The NVIDIA card's advantage persists across every measurable specification difference, and the benchmark data reflects this across the board.

The production status of both cards is end-of-life, making the NVIDIA card a last-generation purchase and the AMD card a legacy product from 2017.
