AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents an unambiguous picture: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 dominates the AMD Radeon PRO V710 across every benchmark where both have recorded scores. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the RTX 5090 scores 18,355 against the PRO V710’s 853, a delta of 2,051.8%. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 5090 scores 334,370 versus 116,460, a delta of 187.1%. The RTX 5090 wins both head-to-head comparisons; the PRO V710 wins none.

The RTX 5090 sits in the 92nd percentile of all GPUs in the database, with an average benchmark score of 79,842. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA Tesla P100 PCIe 16 GB (79,605, only 0.3% behind) and the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64X (80,959, 1.4% ahead). The PRO V710 sits in the 88th percentile with an average score of 58,657, placing it near the NVIDIA P102-100 (58,528, 0.2% behind) and the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT (58,392, 0.5% behind). While the percentile gap appears modest at 4 points, the raw average score difference is 21,185 points, which is substantial.

Who should pick which? The data supports the RTX 5090 for any workload involving the two benchmarked tests: high-end DX12 gaming (Steel Nomad) and OpenCL compute. Its 3DMark score is over 20 times higher, and its OpenCL score is nearly 3 times higher. The PRO V710, however, offers a single-slot form factor with a 158 W TDP and no display outputs, which the database indicates is designed for compute or server deployments where space and power are constrained. The RTX 5090 requires a dual-slot layout, a 575 W TDP, and a 950 W suggested PSU. For users who prioritize raw benchmark performance in these specific tests, the RTX 5090 is the only choice. For users who need a low-profile, low-power accelerator with no video outputs, the PRO V710 is the only option in this comparison.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, using the GB202 chip. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 32 chip, codenamed "Wheat Nas." Both are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but the similarities end there.

The RTX 5090 packs 92,200 million transistors on a 750 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 122.9 million per mm². The PRO V710 has 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, giving a density of 81.2 million per mm². The RTX 5090's die is more than twice the area and holds more than three times the transistors.

The RTX 5090 includes 170 RT cores and 680 tensor cores. The PRO V710 has 54 RT cores and no tensor cores, as listed in the database. This means the RTX 5090 has dedicated hardware for both ray tracing and tensor/AI workloads, while the PRO V710 has ray tracing hardware but no tensor core equivalent.

The RTX 5090 has 21,760 shading units, 680 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs. The PRO V710 has 3,456 shading units, 216 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The RTX 5090 has over 6 times the shading units and more than 3 times the TMUs.

Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RTX 5090 uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, while the PRO V710 uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The RTX 5090's memory clock is listed as 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective, while the PRO V710 runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective.

Specification Differences

The specification sheets highlight distinct design priorities. The RTX 5090 uses 32 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 512-bit bus, delivering 1.79 TB/s bandwidth. The PRO V710 uses 28 GB of GDDR6 on a 224-bit bus, delivering 504.0 GB/s. The RTX 5090's bandwidth is roughly 3.5 times higher.

Clock speeds differ: the RTX 5090 has a base clock of 2017 MHz and a boost clock of 2407 MHz. The PRO V710 has a base clock of 1900 MHz and a boost clock of 2000 MHz. The RTX 5090 boosts about 20% higher.

Compute throughput shows a wide gap: the RTX 5090 delivers 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 (1:1), while the PRO V710 delivers 27.65 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 (1:1). The RTX 5090 is about 3.8 times faster in raw floating-point performance. Pixel rate is 423.6 GPixel/s for the RTX 5090 versus 192.0 GPixel/s for the PRO V710. Texture rate is 1,636.8 GTexel/s versus 432.0 GTexel/s.

Power and physical design diverge sharply. The RTX 5090 has a 575 W TDP, requires a dual-slot cooler, uses a single 16-pin power connector, and suggests a 950 W PSU. It measures 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The PRO V710 has a 158 W TDP, uses a single-slot cooler, takes one 8-pin power connector, and suggests a 450 W PSU. Its dimensions are not recorded in the database.

The RTX 5090 has display outputs (1x HDMI 2.1b, 3x DisplayPort 2.1b) and a release date of January 29, 2025, with a launch MSRP of 1,999 USD. The PRO V710 has no display outputs and was released on October 2, 2024, with no launch MSRP recorded. The RTX 5090 lists a predecessor (GeForce 40) and successor (GeForce 60), while the PRO V710 lists a predecessor (Radeon Pro Vega) but no successor.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records two shared benchmark results for these GPUs. In both, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 wins decisively.

In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RTX 5090 scores 18,355, while the PRO V710 scores 853. The delta is 2,051.8% in favor of NVIDIA. This is not a marginal lead; the RTX 5090 outperforms the PRO V710 by a factor of 21.5. This test stresses DX12 gaming workloads, and the result correlates with the RTX 5090's far higher shading unit count, pixel rate, and memory bandwidth.

In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 5090 scores 334,370, and the PRO V710 scores 116,460. The delta is 187.1%. The RTX 5090 is 2.87 times faster. OpenCL is a compute workload, and the RTX 5090's 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 throughput versus 27.65 TFLOPS explains the magnitude of the lead.

The wins tally is 2 for the RTX 5090 and 0 for the PRO V710. No benchmark in the shared set favors AMD. The PRO V710's best recorded score in any test is its Geekbench OpenCL result of 116,460, which is still far below the RTX 5090's lowest recorded score across its ten benchmarks (185 in Passmark DirectX 12, though that test is not directly comparable to OpenCL).

Looking at the RTX 5090's broader benchmark suite, it scores 39650 in Passmark G3D, 26756 in Passmark GPU Compute, 376728 in Geekbench Vulkan, and 334370 in Geekbench OpenCL. Its average across all recorded tests is 79,842. The PRO V710 only has two recorded benchmarks, with an average of 58,657. The RTX 5090's single 3DMark score alone is higher than the PRO V710's entire benchmark average.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 wins every head-to-head benchmark recorded in the database. Its advantages are most pronounced in DX12 gaming performance, where its 3DMark Steel Nomad score is 2,051.8% higher. This makes it the clear choice for any application that relies on DirectX 12 rendering, such as high-end gaming, real-time visualization, or GPU-accelerated rendering pipelines. Its 104.8 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 throughput, combined with 1.79 TB/s memory bandwidth, also make it dominant in OpenCL compute tasks, as shown by its 187.1% lead in Geekbench OpenCL.

The RTX 5090 also wins on architectural features: it has tensor cores for AI workloads, a PCIe 5.0 interface for faster data transfer, and display outputs for direct video connectivity. Its 92nd percentile ranking among all GPUs confirms it sits near the top of the database.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins in categories not measured by benchmarks but present in the specification data. It has a much lower TDP (158 W versus 575 W), a single-slot design versus dual-slot, and a lower suggested PSU (450 W versus 950 W). It also has no display outputs, which positions it as a compute-only accelerator for servers or dense workstations. Its 28 GB of GDDR6 memory is close to the RTX 5090's 32 GB, though the bus width and bandwidth are far narrower. The PRO V710's 88th percentile ranking shows it is still a capable GPU, but its nearest rivals (NVIDIA P102-100, AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT) are all within 1% of its average score, indicating it competes in a lower performance tier.

For users who need maximum benchmark performance in DX12 or OpenCL, the RTX 5090 is the only defensible choice. For users who need a low-power, single-slot, output-less compute card for dense server deployments, the PRO V710 offers a distinct physical and power profile that the RTX 5090 cannot match. The recorded data shows no scenario where the PRO V710 outperforms the RTX 5090 in raw speed, but its efficiency and form factor give it a separate use case.
