Analysis: AMD Radeon Pro 575X vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti

# Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark gap between the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and the AMD Radeon Pro 575X is among the largest observed in the database. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 4070 Ti scores 176,953 against the Pro 575X's 34,773 — a 408.9% delta in favor of NVIDIA. That is not a marginal lead; it represents a fivefold performance advantage in raw compute workloads. The Vulkan results tell a similar story: 213,808 for the RTX 4070 Ti versus 37,919 for the Pro 575X, a 463.9% delta. These are the only two benchmarks where both cards appear in the same test suite, and NVIDIA wins both outright.

The RTX 4070 Ti's average benchmark score of 44,795 places it just 0.8% behind the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile and 1.3% behind the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT, while sitting 1.6% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A6000 and 1.7% ahead of the Intel Arc A730M. This clustering suggests the 4070 Ti sits in a tight competitive band among mid-to-high-range GPUs, yet its head-to-head dominance over the Pro 575X is absolute. The Pro 575X, with an average score of 39,116, ranks 1.1% above the AMD Radeon Pro 580X and NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A, while sitting 1.1% below the AMD Radeon Pro 575 and NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile. Its percentile placement at 82 versus the 4070 Ti's 84 indicates both cards are above the median of all GPUs, but that percentile gap understates the true chasm in raw performance.

Looking at the individual benchmark suite, the RTX 4070 Ti posts a PassMark G3D score of 31,624 and a GPU compute score of 18,396, alongside 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 5,024. The Pro 575X has no comparable entries in these tests, so direct cross-referencing is limited to OpenCL and Vulkan. However, the Geekbench Metal score of 44,655 for the Pro 575X — a test the RTX 4070 Ti does not participate in — shows it can hold its own in Apple-centric compute environments, though that advantage is irrelevant in the Windows/Linux context where the NVIDIA card operates.

# The Verdict

The data makes the choice unambiguous for any workload that relies on OpenCL or Vulkan: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti outperforms the AMD Radeon Pro 575X by margins exceeding 400%. If your application stack is built around these APIs, the Pro 575X is not a viable competitor — it is outclassed by a factor of roughly five in both measured scenarios.

The Pro 575X does maintain a narrow win in its nearest-rival comparisons, edging out the AMD Radeon Pro 580X by 1.1% and the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A by 1.1%, while trailing the AMD Radeon Pro 575 and NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile by 1.1% each. This places it in a performance tier that is competitive with entry-level professional mobile GPUs, but that tier sits far below the RTX 4070 Ti's neighborhood. The NVIDIA card's nearest rivals — the RTX 5090 Mobile, Radeon Pro 5500 XT, RTX A6000, and Intel Arc A730M — all cluster within 1.7% of its average score, indicating the 4070 Ti is a serious contender in the upper-midrange segment.

For users requiring maximum compute throughput in OpenCL or Vulkan, the RTX 4070 Ti is the only rational choice from this pairing. For users locked into a Mac environment where Metal is the primary API, the Pro 575X's 44,655 Metal score is the only data point available, and the RTX 4070 Ti has no comparable result — so the choice there is dictated by platform compatibility rather than performance. Strictly from the benchmark data, the verdict is a 2-0 sweep in wins for NVIDIA.

# Architecture Differences

The two cards come from fundamentally different eras and design philosophies. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is built on the AD104 chip using Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It packs 35,800 million transistors into a 294 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 121.8 million per square millimeter. The AMD Radeon Pro 575X uses the Ellesmere chip with GCN 4.0 architecture, built on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries, with 5,700 million transistors on a 232 mm² die — a density of just 24.6 million per square millimeter.

The compute resources are equally divergent. The RTX 4070 Ti fields 7,680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output pipelines, along with 60 ray tracing cores and 240 tensor cores. The Pro 575X offers 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with no ray tracing or tensor cores present. The NVIDIA card's pixel rate of 208.8 GPixel/s and texture rate of 626.4 GTexel/s dwarf the AMD card's 35.07 GPixel/s and 140.3 GTexel/s. FP32 compute stands at 40.09 TFLOPS for the RTX 4070 Ti versus 4.489 TFLOPS for the Pro 575X — a 9x gap in raw floating-point throughput.

Memory configurations also differ sharply. The RTX 4070 Ti uses 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, delivering 504.2 GB/s of bandwidth with memory clocked at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective). The Pro 575X has 4 GB of GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus, providing 217.0 GB/s at 1695 MHz (6.8 Gbps effective). Despite the wider bus on the AMD card, the NVIDIA solution achieves more than double the bandwidth due to the much faster memory technology.

Clock speeds further separate the two. The RTX 4070 Ti runs at a 2310 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost, while the Pro 575X has no listed base or boost clocks — only its memory clock is specified. Power draw is 285 W for the NVIDIA card with a dual-slot form factor and a single 16-pin connector, requiring a 600 W suggested PSU. The AMD card consumes 150 W, uses no external power connectors, and is designated as IGP (integrated graphics processor) with portable-device-dependent display outputs. The bus interfaces differ as well: PCIe 4.0 x16 for the RTX 4070 Ti versus PCIe 3.0 x16 for the Pro 575X. API support shows the RTX 4070 Ti at DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, while the Pro 575X reaches DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3.

# Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti wins every benchmark where both cards appear. In Geekbench OpenCL, its 176,953 score versus 34,773 is a 408.9% advantage — the kind of lead that determines workstation suitability. In Geekbench Vulkan, the 213,808 versus 37,919 result extends the margin to 463.9%. The RTX 4070 Ti also brings capabilities the Pro 575X simply does not have: ray tracing acceleration via 60 dedicated cores, tensor core support for AI workloads, and DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) compliance. Its 40.09 TFLOPS FP32 compute and 504.2 GB/s memory bandwidth make it suitable for demanding rendering, simulation, and machine learning tasks.

The AMD Radeon Pro 575X wins only in the sense of platform specificity. Its Geekbench Metal score of 44,655 is the sole benchmark where it appears without NVIDIA competition, and its IGP form factor with no power connectors and portable-device-dependent outputs positions it for integrated Mac systems where discrete GPU upgrades are impossible. The 150 W power draw — nearly half the RTX 4070 Ti's 285 W — makes it a lower-power option, though the NVIDIA card's 600 W suggested PSU requirement and dual-slot footprint are trade-offs for its performance. The Pro 575X's PCIe 3.0 x16 interface and GDDR5 memory reflect its 2019 vintage, while the RTX 4070 Ti's PCIe 4.0 x16 and GDDR6X align with modern platforms.

For users who need raw compute in OpenCL or Vulkan, the RTX 4070 Ti is the clear winner. For users constrained to a Mac environment where Metal is the primary API and the GPU is integrated into the system, the Pro 575X is the only option with data in this comparison — but that is a platform constraint, not a performance endorsement. The benchmark database shows a 2-0 win tally for NVIDIA, with margins that leave no room for ambiguity.
