AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive result in direct comparison: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti wins both head-to-head tests, leaving the AMD Radeon PRO V710 without a single benchmark victory. The largest gap appears in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, where the RTX 3080 Ti scores 5,077 against the V710's 853, a delta of 83.2 percent in NVIDIA's favor. That is not a narrow margin; it is a category-level difference in raw DirectX 12 throughput.

The Geekbench OpenCL test tells a similar but less extreme story. The RTX 3080 Ti records 170,037 points, while the Radeon PRO V710 manages 116,460. The delta here is 31.5 percent, still a comfortable NVIDIA win, but the V710's OpenCL showing suggests its compute capabilities are closer to the rival than its DX12 performance would indicate. When placed against the broader database, the V710 actually holds a higher percentile ranking at 88 versus the RTX 3080 Ti's 83, which complicates the simple head-to-head picture.

The average benchmark score across all recorded tests reinforces the split. The RTX 3080 Ti averages 41,187 points, while the V710 averages 58,657. That 17,470-point gap in the V710's favor comes entirely from its OpenCL result and the weighting of the database's benchmark suite, not from the two tests where both cards appear. The RTX 3080 Ti also has a much larger benchmark footprint, with ten recorded tests spanning DirectX 9 through DirectX 12, OpenCL, Vulkan, and 2D/3D workloads, whereas the V710 has only two entries.

Looking at nearest rivals in the database, the V710 sits in a cluster of cards within 1 percent of its average score. The NVIDIA P102-100 trails by just 0.2 percent, the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT by 0.5 percent, the Intel Arc A570M by 0.7 percent, and the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM by 1 percent. The RTX 3080 Ti's nearest rivals are a more mixed group: the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 is 0.8 percent behind, the NVIDIA Tesla M40 24 GB is 1.2 percent ahead, the NVIDIA Tesla M40 is 1.7 percent ahead, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 is 2 percent behind.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 3080 Ti wins every test where both cards have recorded scores. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, it is more than five times the V710's score, and in Geekbench OpenCL it leads by roughly a third. These are the only two overlapping benchmarks, so the head-to-head verdict is unambiguous: for any workload represented by those tests, the NVIDIA card dominates.

The V710's case rests on its average benchmark score and its percentile placement. With an 88th percentile ranking among all GPUs in the database, it outperforms the RTX 3080 Ti's 83rd percentile, despite losing every direct comparison. The V710's 58,657 average is also higher than the RTX 3080 Ti's 41,187, a 42.4 percent advantage in aggregate. This suggests the V710 excels in workloads not covered by the head-to-head tests, particularly OpenCL compute tasks where its 116,460 score is strong even if below the RTX 3080 Ti's 170,037.

The RTX 3080 Ti, by contrast, shows its strength across a wider range of legacy and modern APIs. Its PassMark scores include 274 in DirectX 9, 223 in DirectX 11, 184 in DirectX 10, and 110 in DirectX 12, alongside a 1,091 in G2D and 26,896 in G3D. The V710 has no such breadth in the database, so any assessment of its legacy API performance remains qualitative. For users targeting current DirectX 12 titles or Vulkan workloads, the RTX 3080 Ti's 5,077 Steel Nomad score and 192,697 Geekbench Vulkan result are the only recorded data points that matter.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from different architectural generations and process nodes. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 uses the Navi 32 chip on RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on a 5 nm TSMC process. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti uses the GA102 chip on Ampere architecture, built on an 8 nm Samsung process. That process gap is significant: the V710 packs 28,100 million transistors into a 346 mm² die, yielding a density of 81.2 million transistors per square millimeter, while the RTX 3080 Ti fits 28,300 million transistors into a much larger 628 mm² die at 45.1 million per square millimeter.

Memory configurations diverge sharply. The V710 carries 28 GB of GDDR6 on a 224-bit bus, delivering 504.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 3080 Ti has 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus, with 912.4 GB/s of bandwidth. Despite having less than half the capacity, the NVIDIA card offers nearly double the memory bandwidth, which directly explains its advantage in bandwidth-sensitive workloads like 3DMark Steel Nomad.

Compute resources also favor the RTX 3080 Ti in raw counts. It has 10,240 shading units, 320 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 80 RT cores, and 320 tensor cores, against the V710's 3,456 shading units, 216 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 54 RT cores. The NVIDIA card's FP32 throughput of 34.10 TFLOPS exceeds the V710's 27.65 TFLOPS, and its texture rate of 532.8 GTexel/s beats the V710's 432.0 GTexel/s. Pixel rates are nearly identical, with the RTX 3080 Ti at 186.5 GPixel/s and the V710 at 192.0 GPixel/s.

Clock speeds tell a different story. The V710 runs at a 1900 MHz base and 2000 MHz boost, while the RTX 3080 Ti sits at 1365 MHz base and 1665 MHz boost. The AMD card's higher clocks partially offset its lower shader count, but not enough to close the FP32 gap. Memory clocks also differ: the V710 uses 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the RTX 3080 Ti runs at 1188 MHz with 19 Gbps effective.

Power and physical design diverge even further. The V710 is a single-slot card with a 158 W TDP and a single 8-pin connector, plus a suggested 450 W PSU. The RTX 3080 Ti is a dual-slot card measuring 285 mm by 112 mm by 40 mm, with a 350 W TDP, a 12-pin connector, and a suggested 750 W PSU. The V710 has no display outputs, marking it as a compute-focused accelerator, while the RTX 3080 Ti offers 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is the clear winner for anyone running DirectX 12 workloads or Vulkan applications. Its 5,077 Steel Nomad score is 83.2 percent ahead of the V710, and its 192,697 Geekbench Vulkan result is the highest single score recorded for either card. The RTX 3080 Ti also offers display outputs, making it usable in a standard desktop setup, whereas the V710 has none.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 is the choice for compute-centric environments where memory capacity matters more than raw throughput. Its 28 GB of GDDR6 is more than double the RTX 3080 Ti's 12 GB, and its 88th percentile ranking with a 58,657 average score indicates strong aggregate performance across the database's full benchmark suite. Its 158 W TDP and single-slot design also make it far easier to cool and power, with a suggested 450 W PSU versus 750 W for the NVIDIA card.

The data does not support the V710 for gaming or real-time graphics. It loses the only DX12 test by a massive margin, and its lack of display outputs precludes direct use in a gaming rig. The RTX 3080 Ti, despite being an older product from 2021, remains competitive in 2024 benchmarks, with its nearest rivals including the RTX 5070 at only 2 percent behind. The V710's nearest rivals are a mixed group, with the RX 6950 XT and P102-100 essentially tied with it, suggesting it occupies a niche between consumer and compute cards.

For a workload that demands OpenCL compute with high memory capacity, the V710 is the safer bet. For anything involving DX12 gaming, Vulkan rendering, or legacy DirectX APIs, the RTX 3080 Ti is the only logical choice based on the recorded numbers.
