AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database entries for the AMD Radeon PRO V710 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 present an unusual comparison challenge. The Radeon PRO V710 has two benchmark results logged, while the GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 has no individual benchmark scores recorded in the database. This means there are no direct head-to-head benchmark comparisons available between these two specific cards. Instead, the analysis must rely on the aggregate data for the AMD card and the architectural specifications for both.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 achieves an average benchmark score of 58,657 across its recorded tests. This places it in the 88th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in the database are revealing: the NVIDIA P102-100 scores an average of 58,528, which is 0.2% behind the Radeon PRO V710. The AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT scores 58,392, a 0.5% deficit. The Intel Arc A570M trails by 0.7% with 58,239, and the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM sits 1% behind at 58,085. These are tight margins, indicating the Radeon PRO V710 sits at the top of a dense performance cluster.

In specific tests, the Radeon PRO V710 records a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 853. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 116,460. These two results, when combined into the average, place the card firmly in the upper tier of the database. The GeForce RTX 4060 AD106, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 0 and a percentile ranking of 50, which reflects the absence of recorded performance data rather than an actual performance level. Without recorded scores, the RTX 4060 AD106 cannot be placed in a direct numerical comparison against the Radeon PRO V710.

The data shows that the Radeon PRO V710 is a high-performing card relative to its nearest rivals, all of which are within 1% of its average score. This suggests a competitive field where the Radeon PRO V710 holds a slight edge. For the RTX 4060 AD106, the lack of benchmark data means its performance relative to the Radeon PRO V710 cannot be quantified from the database. The comparison instead shifts to architectural and specification differences.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from different design philosophies and target different segments. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 uses the Navi 32 chip, built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the codename "Wheat Nas." It is part of the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 uses the AD106 chip, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture and belongs to the GeForce 40-series.

Both chips are manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process node. The AMD chip is larger: its die size is 346 mm², while the NVIDIA chip measures 188 mm². The transistor counts reflect this difference. AMD packs 28,100 million transistors into the Navi 32 die, while NVIDIA has 22,900 million transistors on the AD106. Transistor density tells a different story: the NVIDIA chip has a density of 121.8 million transistors per mm², while the AMD chip has 81.2 million per mm². This indicates the NVIDIA design is more tightly packed, while the AMD design uses more die area for the same process node.

Memory configurations differ substantially. The Radeon PRO V710 has 28 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 224-bit bus, delivering a bandwidth of 504.0 GB/s. The memory clock is 2250 MHz, or 18 Gbps effective. The GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 272.0 GB/s. Its memory clock is 2125 MHz, or 17 Gbps effective. The Radeon PRO V710 offers more than three times the memory capacity and nearly double the bandwidth.

Compute resources also differ. The Radeon PRO V710 has 3,456 shading units, 216 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. It includes 54 ray tracing cores. The GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 has 3,072 shading units, 96 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, with 24 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA card additionally has 96 tensor cores, a feature the AMD card does not list. The AMD card achieves a pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 432.0 GTexel/s. The NVIDIA card records 118.1 GPixel/s and 236.2 GTexel/s. Floating-point performance shows the AMD card at 27.65 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, while the NVIDIA card delivers 15.11 TFLOPS for both.

Clock speeds follow different patterns. The Radeon PRO V710 has a base clock of 1900 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz. The GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 has a lower base clock of 1830 MHz but a significantly higher boost clock of 2460 MHz. The power profiles differ: the AMD card has a TDP of 158 W with a suggested PSU of 450 W, while the NVIDIA card has a TDP of 115 W with a suggested PSU of 300 W. The AMD card is single-slot with a single 8-pin power connector. The NVIDIA card is dual-slot with a single 12-pin connector.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Radeon PRO V710 holds advantages in several key areas. Its memory capacity of 28 GB dwarfs the 8 GB on the GeForce RTX 4060 AD106. The 504.0 GB/s bandwidth versus 272.0 GB/s gives the AMD card a substantial lead in memory-bound workloads. The 224-bit bus versus the 128-bit bus reinforces this advantage. For large datasets or high-resolution textures, the Radeon PRO V710 has a clear edge.

Compute throughput also favors the AMD card. Its 27.65 TFLOPS FP32 performance is nearly double the 15.11 TFLOPS of the NVIDIA card. The texture rate of 432.0 GTexel/s and pixel rate of 192.0 GPixel/s are both roughly twice the corresponding figures on the NVIDIA card. The higher shading unit count of 3,456 versus 3,072, along with 216 TMUs versus 96, supports this pattern. The Radeon PRO V710 also has more ray tracing cores at 54 versus 24.

The GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 has its own strengths. Its boost clock of 2460 MHz is higher than the 2000 MHz of the Radeon PRO V710, which can benefit lightly threaded or clock-sensitive workloads. The tensor cores, which the AMD card does not list, provide dedicated hardware for AI and machine learning tasks that the Radeon PRO V710 lacks. The lower TDP of 115 W versus 158 W means the NVIDIA card uses less power, and its suggested PSU of 300 W versus 450 W indicates a lighter system power requirement. The NVIDIA card also has display outputs: 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the AMD card has no outputs. This makes the RTX 4060 AD106 suitable for direct display connection, whereas the Radeon PRO V710 requires a separate display solution.

The production status differs as well. The GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 is marked as end-of-life, while the Radeon PRO V710 has no production status listed. Release dates show the AMD card launched on 2024-10-02, while the NVIDIA card launched earlier on 2024-03-31.

The Verdict

The data paints a clear picture of two cards designed for different purposes. The AMD Radeon PRO V710, with its 28 GB memory, 504.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 27.65 TFLOPS compute, is positioned for compute-intensive and memory-heavy workloads. Its lack of display outputs confirms this: it is a render or compute card, not a desktop graphics card. The 88th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 58,657 place it among the top tier of GPUs in the database, with nearest rivals all within 1% of its score.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 AD106, with its 8 GB memory, 272.0 GB/s bandwidth, and 15.11 TFLOPS compute, is a more modest card. Its 50th percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 0 reflect the absence of recorded data, but its specifications suggest a mainstream desktop card. The display outputs, lower power draw, and tensor cores indicate a card intended for consumer use with display output and AI acceleration.

For users who need maximum memory capacity, raw compute throughput, and memory bandwidth, the Radeon PRO V710 is the clear choice based on the recorded specifications. Its 28 GB capacity and 504.0 GB/s bandwidth serve workloads that the 8 GB and 272.0 GB/s of the RTX 4060 AD106 cannot handle. The higher pixel and texture rates further support this conclusion.

For users who need a card with display outputs, lower power consumption, and tensor core acceleration, the GeForce RTX 4060 AD106 has advantages. Its 115 W TDP and 300 W suggested PSU make it easier to integrate into a desktop system. The tensor cores provide dedicated AI processing that the Radeon PRO V710 does not offer.

The release dates and production status add context. The Radeon PRO V710 launched later, in October 2024, and has no end-of-life status. The RTX 4060 AD106 launched in March 2024 and is already marked end-of-life, suggesting its replacement cycle is underway.
