AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a stark contrast between these two cards in terms of benchmark completeness. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 has two recorded benchmark scores, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 has no recorded benchmark scores in the database. This makes a direct numerical head-to-head comparison impossible based on the available measurements.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 853 and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 116460. Its average benchmark score of 58657 places it at the 88th percentile of all GPUs tracked. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 0 and sits at the 50th percentile, indicating that no performance data has been collected for this specific variant.

Without direct head-to-head benchmark results, the nearest rival comparison for the AMD card provides context. The Radeon PRO V710's average score of 58657 is only 0.2% ahead of the NVIDIA P102-100, which scores 58528. It leads the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT by 0.5%, as that card scores 58392. The margin over the Intel Arc A570M is 0.7%, with that card scoring 58239. The Radeon PRO V710 also sits 1% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM, which scores 58085.

These margins are extremely narrow. The data indicates that the Radeon PRO V710 essentially trades blows with its nearest rivals, with performance differences under one percentage point in every case. This suggests that the card's performance profile is well established within a tight band of competing GPUs, but there is no comparable data point for the RTX 4070 AD103.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from different architectural families. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture on the Navi 32 chip, with the codename Wheat Nas. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 uses the Ada Lovelace architecture on the AD103 chip. Both are manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but the transistor counts differ substantially.

The NVIDIA chip packs 45,900 million transistors on a 379 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 121.1 million per mm². The AMD chip contains 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, giving a density of 81.2 million per mm². The NVIDIA chip is both larger and denser.

Clock behavior also differs. The AMD card has a base clock of 1900 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz. The NVIDIA card starts at 1920 MHz base and boosts to 2475 MHz, a significantly higher boost ceiling. Memory clocks show the AMD card running at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, while the NVIDIA card runs at 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed.

The memory subsystems diverge in capacity and type. The AMD card carries 28 GB of GDDR6 on a 224-bit bus, delivering 504.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA card has 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, with bandwidth of 504.2 GB/s. Despite the large capacity difference, bandwidth is nearly identical.

Compute resources are distributed differently. The NVIDIA card has 5888 shading units, 184 tensor cores, 184 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 46 RT cores. The AMD card has 3456 shading units, 216 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 54 RT cores. The AMD card has no tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA card's higher shading unit count contributes to its FP32 throughput of 29.15 TFLOPS, while the AMD card delivers 27.65 TFLOPS. Both achieve a 1:1 FP16 to FP32 ratio.

Texture and pixel rates tell a mixed story. The NVIDIA card achieves 455.4 GTexel/s, slightly ahead of the AMD card's 432.0 GTexel/s. The AMD card reaches 192.0 GPixel/s, ahead of the NVIDIA card's 158.4 GPixel/s. The AMD card's higher ROP count explains its pixel rate advantage.

Power and physical design differ. The AMD card has a TDP of 158 W with a single 8-pin connector and a 450 W suggested PSU, in a single-slot design. The NVIDIA card has a TDP of 200 W with a 16-pin connector and a 550 W suggested PSU, in a dual-slot design measuring 240 mm by 110 mm by 40 mm. The AMD card has no display outputs, while the NVIDIA card has 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

The database records a clear asymmetry. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 has measurable performance data, with an average benchmark score of 58657 and a strong 88th percentile standing. Its nearest rival margins are all under 1%, which indicates that it performs on par with a cluster of established GPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 has no benchmark scores, no average score, and no rival comparisons. Any performance verdict for the NVIDIA card cannot be supported by the recorded data.

For users selecting based on measurable results, the AMD card is the only one with verified performance. Its 88th percentile ranking places it above the majority of tracked GPUs. The NVIDIA card's 50th percentile with a zero score reflects missing data, not a performance assessment.

The AMD card also offers substantially more memory at 28 GB versus 12 GB, along with a lower TDP of 158 W versus 200 W, and a single-slot form factor versus dual-slot. The NVIDIA card has a higher boost clock, more shading units, higher FP32 throughput, and tensor cores. However, without benchmark data, those specifications cannot be translated into measured performance outcomes.

The RTX 4070 AD103 was released later, on 2024-02-29, and is marked as end-of-life, with the GeForce 50 as its successor. The Radeon PRO V710 was released on 2024-10-02, with the Radeon Pro Vega as its predecessor. The NVIDIA card carries a launch MSRP of 599 USD.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins in memory capacity with 28 GB versus 12 GB, and in pixel rate with 192.0 GPixel/s versus 158.4 GPixel/s. It also has a lower TDP at 158 W versus 200 W, a single-slot design versus dual-slot, and a lower suggested PSU at 450 W versus 550 W. It has more ROPs (96 versus 64) and more RT cores (54 versus 46). Its benchmark data shows it at the 88th percentile, with an average score of 58657.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 AD103 wins in shading units (5888 versus 3456), FP32 throughput (29.15 TFLOPS versus 27.65 TFLOPS), texture rate (455.4 GTexel/s versus 432.0 GTexel/s), and boost clock (2475 MHz versus 2000 MHz). It has tensor cores, which the AMD card lacks. It also has a higher transistor count and density, and it includes display outputs while the AMD card has none. Its memory bandwidth is marginally higher at 504.2 GB/s versus 504.0 GB/s.

For use cases involving large memory footprints, such as holding very large datasets locally on the GPU, the AMD card's 28 GB capacity is the clear advantage. For scenarios that stress raw shading throughput and tensor operations, the NVIDIA card's specifications point to an advantage, though no benchmark scores exist to confirm it. The AMD card's lower power draw and single-slot profile make it suitable for dense installations. The NVIDIA card's display outputs make it usable in standard desktop configurations, while the AMD card requires a separate display solution.
