AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Comparison

The Verdict

The data presents a clear split between two very different products. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti is the outright performance winner in every recorded head-to-head benchmark. It beats the AMD Radeon PRO V710 by 83% in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test and by 34.2% in Geekbench OpenCL. For anyone whose priority is raw frame generation and compute throughput, the RTX 4070 Ti is the only choice between these two.

However, the AMD Radeon PRO V710 occupies a different niche entirely. It is a single-slot, 158 W card with 28 GB of memory, designed for dense server installations where space and power draw matter more than peak speed. It has no display outputs, meaning it is not a consumer graphics card for a desktop workstation with a monitor attached. The data suggests it is meant for compute or rendering workloads in a rack environment.

The RTX 4070 Ti, by contrast, is a dual-slot, 285 W card with standard display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a) and a launch MSRP of 799 USD. It fits a traditional gaming or creator PC. Its end-of-life production status does not diminish its current benchmark standing. The choice hinges on use case: a workstation administrator needing a low-profile compute accelerator with vast memory versus a desktop user needing a versatile, high-performance GPU for gaming and general compute.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is substantial. AMD uses the Navi 32 chip based on RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Wheat Nas, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. The die measures 346 mm² and contains 28,100 million transistors, giving a transistor density of 81.2 million per square millimeter. NVIDIA counters with the AD104 chip under the Ada Lovelace architecture, also on TSMC 5 nm, but with a smaller die size of 294 mm². Critically, the NVIDIA chip packs 35,800 million transistors into that smaller area, resulting in a much higher density of 121.8 million per square millimeter.

The AMD card has 3,456 shading units, 216 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. It also has 54 ray tracing cores but no tensor cores. The NVIDIA card has more than double the shading units at 7,680, along with 240 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 60 RT cores, and 240 tensor cores. These core counts translate directly to raw throughput: AMD achieves 27.65 TFLOPS FP32, while NVIDIA reaches 40.09 TFLOPS FP32.

Memory configurations are a major point of divergence. AMD offers 28 GB of GDDR6 on a 224-bit bus with a bandwidth of 504.0 GB/s. NVIDIA offers only 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, but the bandwidth is nearly identical at 504.2 GB/s. This makes the AMD card a clear choice for workloads that need massive memory capacity rather than sheer bandwidth. Clock speeds also differ: AMD runs at 1900 MHz base and 2000 MHz boost, while NVIDIA runs at 2310 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost.

Power and physical design show opposite philosophies. The AMD card is a single-slot design with a 158 W TDP and a single 8-pin power connector, suggesting a 450 W power supply. The NVIDIA card is dual-slot, has a 285 W TDP, requires a 16-pin connector, and suggests a 600 W power supply. The NVIDIA card is 285 mm long, 112 mm high, and 42 mm wide. The AMD card has no listed dimensions but is explicitly single-slot. The AMD card has no display outputs, while the NVIDIA provides standard outputs. Both support DX12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Only two shared benchmarks exist in the database, and NVIDIA wins both decisively. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the scores are stark: NVIDIA scores 5,024 points versus AMD's 853 points. That is a delta of -83% for the AMD card, meaning the NVIDIA card delivers more than 5.9 times the raw DX12 performance. This is a massive gap that no single architectural feature can bridge.

The Geekbench OpenCL test shows a smaller but still significant gap. NVIDIA scores 176,953 points against AMD's 116,460 points, a delta of -34.2%. This indicates compute workloads that scale well with shader count and clock speed will strongly favor the NVIDIA card. The NVIDIA card also offers a Geekbench Vulkan score of 213,808, which is the highest single score recorded for it, but the AMD card does not have a comparable Vulkan result in this dataset, so no direct comparison is possible.

The AMD card does have a higher average benchmark score (58,657) than the NVIDIA card (44,795), but this is only because the NVIDIA card has many more benchmark entries, including low-value tests such as Passmark DirectX 9 (352 points) and Passmark G2D (1,200 points), which drag its average down. The AMD card's only two scores are both respectable, one high (116,460 in OpenCL) and one moderate (853 in 3DMark). The head-to-head tests remain the only fair comparison, and they are unanimous.

Where Each One Wins

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti:

The NVIDIA card wins every single recorded benchmark comparison. Its 3DMark performance is 83% higher, making it the definitive choice for any workload that relies on DirectX 12 rendering, such as gaming or real-time visualization. Its OpenCL advantage of 34.2% also makes it stronger for general-purpose GPU compute. The card's 240 tensor cores provide hardware acceleration for workloads that utilize them, a feature the AMD card lacks entirely. The presence of display outputs means it can directly drive monitors, whereas the AMD card cannot. For any user who needs a single card for both interactive work and compute, the RTX 4070 Ti is the only option. Its higher boost clock of 2610 MHz versus 2000 MHz also suggests more responsive performance in clock-bound tasks.

AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins in scenarios where its unique physical and memory profile matters. The 28 GB of memory is more than double the NVIDIA card's capacity, which is critical for large datasets, complex 3D scenes, or high-resolution textures that exceed 12 GB. The card is single-slot, allowing it to fit in dense server chassis or multi-GPU configurations where space is at a premium. Its 158 W TDP is 127 W lower than the NVIDIA card, which reduces heat output and cooling requirements in a rack. The lack of display outputs is a feature, not a bug, for a compute-only accelerator. Its nearest rivals in the database, such as the NVIDIA P102-100 and AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, have similar average scores, but the V710 is 0.2% to 1% faster than those, showing it sits in a stable performance tier. For a rendering farm or a machine learning inference box that needs maximum memory per slot, the AMD card is the better fit, despite losing all head-to-head tests.
