AMD Radeon Pro Duo vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The single head-to-head benchmark available paints a stark picture. In Geekbench OpenCL, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile scores 143,870, while the AMD Radeon Pro Duo scores 35,860. This represents a 75.1% delta in favor of the NVIDIA part, meaning the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile delivers roughly four times the compute performance in this test. The data shows a decisive NVIDIA victory, with the mobile chip outperforming the dual-GPU workstation card by an enormous margin.

Looking at the broader benchmark landscape, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile posts a Passmark G3D score of 24,004 and a Passmark GPU Compute score of 10,101, while the Radeon Pro Duo has no comparable entries in those tests. The NVIDIA card also demonstrates versatility across API-specific workloads, scoring 259 in Passmark DirectX 9, 237 in DirectX 11, 151 in DirectX 10, and 102 in DirectX 12. For Vulkan workloads, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile achieves 139,213 in Geekbench Vulkan, a test the AMD card does not appear in.

The average benchmark scores place the two cards nearly level overall, with the Radeon Pro Duo at 35,860 and the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile at 35,435. This 1.2% delta in favor of AMD reflects the fact that the Radeon Pro Duo's single OpenCL result is slightly higher than the NVIDIA card's average across its nine benchmarks. However, this parity in averages masks the reality that the head-to-head test shows a 75.1% NVIDIA advantage. Both cards sit at the 80th percentile among all GPUs, indicating they occupy a similar tier in the overall performance distribution, yet their workload characteristics diverge sharply.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs spans nearly a decade of development. The AMD Radeon Pro Duo is built on GCN 3.0 architecture with the codename "Capsaicin" chip, fabricated on a 28 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB205 chip, also manufactured by TSMC but on a 5 nm process. This process shrink allows the NVIDIA chip to pack 31,100 million transistors into a 263 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 118.3M per mm². The AMD chip contains 8,900 million transistors on a much larger 596 mm² die, yielding only 14.9M transistors per mm².

The Radeon Pro Duo implements 4,096 shading units, 256 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs, with no dedicated ray tracing or tensor cores. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile features 5,888 shading units, 184 TMUs, and 80 ROPs, plus 46 ray tracing cores and 184 tensor cores. This represents a fundamental shift in GPU design, as the NVIDIA card integrates hardware acceleration for ray tracing and AI workloads that the older AMD architecture lacks entirely.

Memory technology differs substantially. The Radeon Pro Duo uses 4 GB of HBM memory across a 4096-bit bus, delivering 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth at a memory clock of 500 MHz (1000 Mbps effective). The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses 12 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, achieving 672.0 GB/s bandwidth at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA card offers triple the capacity and 31% more bandwidth despite a much narrower memory bus.

API support highlights the generational divide. The Radeon Pro Duo supports DirectX 12 (12_0), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.170. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The newer DirectX 12 Ultimate feature set and higher Vulkan version reflect the Blackwell architecture's modern capabilities. Both cards support PCIe, but the NVIDIA part uses PCIe 5.0 x16 while the AMD card is limited to PCIe 3.0 x16.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification category. The Radeon Pro Duo has a TDP of 350 W and requires a dual-slot cooler with three 8-pin power connectors and a 750 W suggested power supply. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has a TDP of just 60 W, is an integrated graphics package (IGP), requires no power connectors, and has no suggested PSU rating. This is a 290 W difference in power draw.

Clock speeds show the NVIDIA card operates at a base clock of 847 MHz and boosts to 1447 MHz, while the AMD card has no listed base or boost clocks, only a memory clock of 500 MHz (1000 Mbps effective). The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's memory runs at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). Pixel fill rate favors NVIDIA at 115.8 GPixel/s versus 64.00 GPixel/s for AMD. Texture fill rate is close, with NVIDIA at 266.2 GTexel/s and AMD at 256.0 GTexel/s.

Compute throughput heavily favors NVIDIA: 17.04 TFLOPS FP32 and 17.04 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1) versus 8.192 TFLOPS FP32 and 8.192 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1) for AMD. The Radeon Pro Duo measures 277 mm in length and 111 mm in height, while the NVIDIA card has no listed dimensions due to its mobile IGP form factor. Display outputs differ, with AMD offering 1x HDMI 1.4a and 3x DisplayPort 1.2, while NVIDIA lists "Portable Device Dependent" outputs.

The Radeon Pro Duo launched on April 25, 2016, with a launch MSRP of 1,499 USD, succeeding FirePro GCN and preceding Radeon Pro Polaris. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile launched on February 28, 2025, succeeding GeForce 40 Mobile with no successor listed. The AMD card is end-of-life, while the NVIDIA card remains active.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins decisively in raw compute performance. The Geekbench OpenCL result shows a 75.1% advantage, and the card's additional benchmarks in Vulkan and Passmark suites demonstrate breadth that the AMD part lacks. For users running OpenCL compute workloads, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile delivers approximately four times the performance. The NVIDIA card also wins on efficiency, consuming only 60 W versus 350 W, making it suitable for mobile platforms while the AMD card requires a desktop workstation with substantial power delivery.

The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the clear choice for modern API support, offering DirectX 12 Ultimate, Vulkan 1.4, and hardware ray tracing and tensor cores. Its 12 GB GDDR7 memory capacity triple that of the Radeon Pro Duo, and its 672.0 GB/s bandwidth exceeds the older HBM implementation. For gaming, AI acceleration, and contemporary graphics workloads, the NVIDIA card's architecture provides capabilities the AMD card simply cannot match.

The AMD Radeon Pro Duo retains a marginal edge in average benchmark score, sitting 1.2% above the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile at 35,860 versus 35,435. This single OpenCL result places it slightly ahead of the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 (1% delta) and the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile (1.2% delta), though behind the T1000 and RX 5300M. For legacy workstation environments where the GCN architecture and HBM memory are already integrated into existing infrastructure, the Radeon Pro Duo may still function adequately. Its 4096-bit memory bus provides a wide interface that could benefit certain bandwidth-sensitive workloads, though the lower total bandwidth of 512.0 GB/s limits this advantage.

The Radeon Pro Duo's dual-slot design and 350 W TDP indicate it was built for stationary workstation use, while the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's 60 W IGP form factor makes it viable in laptops. The AMD card's end-of-life status suggests it is now a legacy product, whereas the NVIDIA card is actively produced. For new system builds, the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile offers superior performance, modern features, and dramatically lower power consumption. For maintaining existing GCN-era workstation deployments, the Radeon Pro Duo remains functional but offers no competitive advantage in the current landscape.
