AMD Radeon Pro 575 vs NVIDIA TITAN V Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive performance gap between these two GPUs, with the NVIDIA TITAN V winning both head-to-head benchmark comparisons outright. In Geekbench OpenCL, the TITAN V scores 157,265 against the AMD Radeon Pro 575's 34,596, a delta of 78% in favor of the NVIDIA part. That is not a marginal lead; it is a complete tier separation. The same pattern repeats in Geekbench Vulkan, where the TITAN V posts 152,117 versus 37,878 for the AMD card, a 75.1% advantage.

Looking at the broader benchmark database, the TITAN V's average benchmark score is 34,355, which places it in the 79th percentile of all GPUs tracked. The Radeon Pro 575, despite losing both direct comparisons, actually holds a higher average score at 39,555 and sits in the 82nd percentile. This apparent contradiction is explained by the different benchmark suites each card was tested under. The Radeon Pro 575's average is built from three Geekbench entries (Metal, OpenCL, and Vulkan), while the TITAN V's average includes a much wider range of tests, including several Passmark DirectX variants where it scores far below its Geekbench results. For instance, the TITAN V's Passmark DirectX 12 score is just 81, and its DirectX 10 score is 153, which drags its overall average down significantly.

The magnitude of the TITAN V's wins in the direct comparisons is worth emphasizing. In OpenCL, it delivers more than four times the raw score of the AMD card. In Vulkan, it is roughly four times ahead as well. These are not close contests by any reasonable interpretation. The AMD card's best recorded result is its Geekbench Metal score of 46,192, which is not part of the head-to-head data but does show where the Radeon Pro 575 is most competitive: Apple's Metal API. The TITAN V has no Metal benchmark in the database, so that specific workload cannot be directly compared.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA TITAN V wins everywhere the two are directly measured. In OpenCL, it dominates with a 78% margin. In Vulkan, it leads by 75.1%. This is a straightforward case of a high-end compute card obliterating a mid-range mobile part in general-purpose GPU workloads. The TITAN V's architecture is built for throughput, and the benchmark results confirm it in both compute APIs tested.

The AMD Radeon Pro 575's only recorded bright spot is Geekbench Metal, where it scores 46,192. Since the TITAN V lacks a Metal benchmark entry, the Radeon Pro 575 is the only one of the two with any data supporting macOS or Metal-specific workloads. For users locked into Apple's ecosystem, that may be the deciding factor, but it is not a win in the head-to-head data.

For productivity scenarios, the TITAN V's Passmark G3D score of 19,805 and GPU compute score of 9,263 indicate strong general 3D and compute performance, though these are not directly compared against the AMD card. The Radeon Pro 575 has no Passmark results in the database, so its DirectX performance cannot be benchmarked against the TITAN V's, which ranges from 81 (DirectX 12) to 213 (DirectX 9).

Specification Differences

The two cards differ on nearly every hardware specification that matters. The TITAN V uses 12 GB of HBM2 memory on a 3072-bit bus, delivering 651.3 GB/s of bandwidth. The Radeon Pro 575 uses 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus, with 217.0 GB/s. That is a 3x difference in memory capacity and a 3x difference in bandwidth. The TITAN V also clocks its memory at 848 MHz (1696 Mbps effective), while the AMD card runs at 1695 MHz (6.8 Gbps effective), though the effective throughput difference is entirely dictated by bus width and memory type.

Compute resources are similarly lopsided. The TITAN V has 5,120 shading units, 320 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. The Radeon Pro 575 has 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 32 ROPs. The TITAN V's pixel rate is 139.7 GPixel/s against the AMD card's 35.07 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 465.6 GTexel/s versus 140.3 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 14.90 TFLOPS for NVIDIA and 4.489 TFLOPS for AMD. FP16 is even more skewed: the TITAN V delivers 29.80 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio), while the Radeon Pro 575 manages 4.489 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio).

Power and physical specifications also separate them. The TITAN V has a 250 W TDP, requires a 600 W suggested PSU, uses a dual-slot form factor with 1x 6-pin and 1x 8-pin power connectors, and measures 267 mm in length, 112 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The Radeon Pro 575 has a 150 W TDP, uses an MXM module form factor with no power connectors, and lists "portable device dependent" for display outputs. The TITAN V outputs via 1x HDMI 2.0 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap is fundamental. The AMD Radeon Pro 575 is built on GCN 4.0, using the Ellesmere chip manufactured on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. It packs 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die, for a transistor density of 24.6M per mm². The NVIDIA TITAN V uses the Volta architecture, specifically the GV100 chip, built on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It contains 21,100 million transistors on an 815 mm² die, with a density of 25.9M per mm². The TITAN V is one of the largest consumer GPUs ever made, and the die size difference alone explains much of the performance gap.

The TITAN V also includes 640 tensor cores, which the Radeon Pro 575 lacks entirely. These tensor cores are designed for deep learning and AI workloads, giving the NVIDIA card a hardware feature that has no AMD equivalent in this comparison. The TITAN V's FP16 performance at a 2:1 ratio (29.80 TFLOPS) further underscores its compute-orientation, while the Radeon Pro 575's FP16 runs at a 1:1 ratio, indicating no special acceleration for reduced precision.

API support differs as well. The TITAN V supports DirectX 12 (12_1) and Vulkan 1.4, while the Radeon Pro 575 supports DirectX 12 (12_0) and Vulkan 1.3. Both support OpenGL 4.6. The TITAN V's higher DirectX feature level and newer Vulkan version are consistent with its newer architecture. The Radeon Pro 575 belongs to the Radeon Pro Mac (500 Series) generation, released in June 2017, while the TITAN V launched in December 2017 as part of the GeForce 10 generation. The TITAN V's predecessor is listed as GeForce 900, and its successor is GeForce 20, placing it at a transitional point in NVIDIA's lineup.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: the NVIDIA TITAN V is the far more powerful GPU in every directly measured workload. A 78% lead in OpenCL and a 75.1% lead in Vulkan are not competitive gaps; they are generational leaps. The TITAN V's 5,120 shading units, 12 GB of HBM2 with 651.3 GB/s bandwidth, and 14.90 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput put it in a completely different performance class than the Radeon Pro 575's 2,048 shading units, 4 GB GDDR5, and 4.489 TFLOPS.

Who should pick the AMD Radeon Pro 575? Only those constrained by its MXM form factor and portable device integration. The card is end-of-life, draws 150 W, and has no power connectors, making it suitable for laptops or compact systems where the TITAN V physically cannot fit. Its Geekbench Metal score of 46,192 also suggests it has some utility in macOS environments, though no direct comparison exists against the TITAN V in that API.

Who should pick the NVIDIA TITAN V? Anyone who needs raw compute performance and has the 250 W TDP, 600 W PSU requirement, and dual-slot footprint to accommodate it. The launch MSRP was 2,999 USD, which reflects its positioning as a professional-grade compute card. Its 640 tensor cores and 29.80 TFLOPS of FP16 make it particularly suited for machine learning and scientific workloads. The Passmark G3D score of 19,805 and GPU compute score of 9,263 reinforce its strength in general 3D rendering and compute tasks.

The Radeon Pro 575's percentile ranking (82nd) versus the TITAN V's (79th) is the only metric where AMD leads, but that is an artifact of test selection, not real-world capability. When both cards are measured on the same workloads, the TITAN V wins by a landslide. Choose the Radeon Pro 575 only if the form factor forces your hand. Otherwise, the TITAN V is the clear recommendation from the recorded data.
