AMD Radeon PRO V710 vs NVIDIA Quadro GP100 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded data splits these two workstation cards into very different usage profiles. The NVIDIA Quadro GP100 holds a narrower but well-established position in the database, with a single Geekbench OpenCL result of 87,445 points. That score places it in the 93rd percentile of all GPUs tracked by the database, which is a strong showing for a card from the Pascal generation. Its nearest rivals in the database are the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 at 87,108 points, a 0.4% gap, and the NVIDIA CMP 40HX at 85,637 points, a 2.1% gap. It sits behind the NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile at 91,134 points and the NVIDIA RTX A4500 at 91,671 points, with the Quadro GP100 trailing those two by 4% and 4.6% respectively. So in raw OpenCL compute, the GP100 is competitive with modern mid-range workstation parts, but it is not at the top of the stack.

The AMD Radeon PRO V710 presents a different picture. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 116,460 points, which is 24.9% higher than the Quadro GP100 in the same test. That is the only head-to-head benchmark recorded between the two cards, and it is a decisive win for the AMD part. However, the Radeon PRO V710 also has a second benchmark result in the database, a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 853 points. That test is not shared with the Quadro GP100, so no direct comparison can be made on that workload. The inclusion of both scores matters because the Radeon PRO V710's average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 58,657 points, which is dragged down substantially by the much lower 3DMark result. Its percentile ranking is 88th, below the Quadro GP100's 93rd percentile, even though the AMD card wins the only directly comparable test.

The use-case split is therefore clear. The Quadro GP100 wins in the context of its established position within the database's OpenCL rankings, where it sits comfortably in the 93rd percentile and beats several modern rivals. The Radeon PRO V710 wins in raw compute throughput on the shared Geekbench OpenCL test, and it also offers a separate DX12 workload result that the GP100 cannot match. For users who care about OpenCL compute performance alone, the Radeon PRO V710 is the stronger part. For users who care about overall database percentile ranking and consistency across a single test type, the Quadro GP100 occupies a higher standing despite its lower absolute score.

The Radeon PRO V710's nearest rivals in the database are all within a narrow band: the NVIDIA P102-100 at 58,528 points, the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT at 58,392 points, the Intel Arc A570M at 58,239 points, and the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM at 58,085 points. The deltas are 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.7%, and 1% respectively. That clustering reflects the fact that the average score is dominated by the 3DMark Steel Nomad result, which is much lower than the OpenCL result. In contrast, the Quadro GP100's nearest rivals are spread across a wider range, from 85,637 to 91,671 points, with deltas of 0.4% to 4.6%. The GP100's single-score profile gives it a simpler, more predictable position.

The Verdict

The data points to a straightforward conclusion: the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is the faster card in the only directly comparable benchmark. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 116,460 beats the NVIDIA Quadro GP100's 87,445 by 24.9%. That is a substantial margin, not a marginal one. Any user choosing between these two strictly on OpenCL compute performance should select the Radeon PRO V710.

That said, the Quadro GP100 still holds a higher percentile ranking in the database overall, 93rd versus 88th. This is because the GP100's single benchmark result is strong relative to all other GPUs, while the Radeon PRO V710's average is pulled down by its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 853. The GP100 also has a much simpler benchmark profile, with only one recorded test, which makes its position easier to interpret. The Radeon PRO V710's average score of 58,657 places it near a group of very different GPUs, including the NVIDIA P102-100, the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, the Intel Arc A570M, and the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM, all within 1% of each other.

For users who prioritize a single, well-established compute metric with a high database percentile, the NVIDIA Quadro GP100 is the safer pick. For users who prioritize raw OpenCL throughput and also want a DX12 workload result, the Radeon PRO V710 is the better choice. The GP100 is an end-of-life product from 2016, while the Radeon PRO V710 was released in 2024, and the newer architecture shows in the benchmark numbers. The Radeon PRO V710 also offers more memory, 28 GB versus 16 GB, and a lower power draw, 158 W versus 235 W, although those figures do not directly determine benchmark performance.

The verdict is not a tie. The head-to-head benchmark is decisive, and the AMD card wins it by a wide margin. The Quadro GP100's higher percentile is a reflection of its benchmark profile, not of superior performance against the V710. Users who need OpenCL compute should take the Radeon PRO V710. Users who need a proven, high-percentile workstation card with a long track record should consider the Quadro GP100, but they should expect lower compute throughput in the shared test.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct comparison recorded between the NVIDIA Quadro GP100 and the AMD Radeon PRO V710 is the Geekbench OpenCL test. The results are as follows: the Quadro GP100 scores 87,445 points, and the Radeon PRO V710 scores 116,460 points. The delta is 24.9% in favor of the AMD card. That is the largest margin in either card's immediate rival group. For context, the GP100's closest rival, the AMD Radeon PRO W7600, is only 0.4% behind it, and the RTX A4500 Mobile is 4% ahead. The Radeon PRO V710's 24.9% advantage over the GP100 is therefore a significant outlier compared to the tight clustering around each card's other rivals.

The Radeon PRO V710 also has a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 853 points. This test is not available for the Quadro GP100 in the database, so no direct comparison can be made. However, the presence of this second score changes the V710's average benchmark score to 58,657 points, which is dramatically lower than its OpenCL score. This is why the V710's nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA P102-100, the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT, the Intel Arc A570M, and the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM, all of which have average scores between 58,085 and 58,528 points. The GP100, with only one benchmark, has an average score equal to its OpenCL score, 87,445 points, which keeps it in the 93rd percentile.

Breaking down the OpenCL result further, the Radeon PRO V710's advantage comes from a much higher FP32 throughput. The card is rated at 27.65 TFLOPS FP32, while the Quadro GP100 is rated at 10.34 TFLOPS. That is a 2.67x difference in raw shader throughput, and it shows in the 24.9% benchmark gap. The AMD card also has a higher pixel rate, 192.0 GPixel/s versus 138.5 GPixel/s, and a higher texture rate, 432.0 GTexel/s versus 323.2 GTexel/s. The GP100 does have a memory bandwidth advantage, 732.2 GB/s versus 504.0 GB/s, but that does not translate into a benchmark win in this case.

The FP16 comparison is also notable. The Quadro GP100 supports FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, giving it 20.69 TFLOPS FP16, while the Radeon PRO V710 offers 27.65 TFLOPS FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The AMD card is ahead in both FP32 and FP16, and its FP16 rate is identical to its FP32 rate, which is typical of RDNA 3.0 architecture. The GP100's FP16 rate is exactly half its FP32 rate, which reflects the Pascal generation's approach to packed math. Neither card has tensor cores, but the Radeon PRO V710 does have 54 ray accelerators, while the GP100 has none.

The single head-to-head result is unambiguous. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 wins the only shared benchmark by a 24.9% margin. No other direct comparison exists in the database, so the broader architectural differences must be considered separately.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from fundamentally different architectural generations. The NVIDIA Quadro GP100 is built on the Pascal architecture, uses the GP100 chip, and was released in 2016. It is manufactured on a 16 nm process at TSMC, with 15,300 million transistors on a 610 mm² die. The transistor density is 25.1 million transistors per square millimeter. The AMD Radeon PRO V710 uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture, based on the Navi 32 chip with the codename Wheat Nas, and was released in 2024. It is manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, giving a much higher transistor density of 81.2 million per square millimeter.

The core configurations differ in several ways. The Quadro GP100 has 3,584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 96 raster output units. The Radeon PRO V710 has 3,456 shading units, 216 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The shading unit counts are close, but the AMD card has a significantly higher clock speed, with a base of 1900 MHz and a boost of 2000 MHz, compared to the GP100's base of 1304 MHz and boost of 1443 MHz. The clock advantage, combined with the newer architecture, explains the large FP32 gap: 27.65 TFLOPS for the V710 versus 10.34 TFLOPS for the GP100.

Memory architecture is another major split. The Quadro GP100 uses 16 GB of HBM2 on a 4096-bit bus, with memory clocked at 715 MHz and an effective rate of 1430 Mbps, producing 732.2 GB/s of bandwidth. The Radeon PRO V710 uses 28 GB of GDDR6 on a 224-bit bus, with memory at 2250 MHz and an effective rate of 18 Gbps, producing 504.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GP100 has the wider bus and higher bandwidth, while the V710 has more capacity and faster effective memory speed.

Feature support also differs. The Quadro GP100 has no ray accelerators and no tensor cores. The Radeon PRO V710 has 54 ray accelerators and no tensor cores. The GP100 supports FP16 at a 2:1 ratio, while the V710 supports FP16 at a 1:1 ratio. The API support reflects the generations: the GP100 supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The V710 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Physical and power characteristics also favor the newer AMD card. The Quadro GP100 is a dual-slot card, 267 mm long and 111 mm tall, with a 235 W TDP and a suggested 550 W PSU. It uses a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface and has display outputs including 1x DVI and 4x DisplayPort 1.4a. The Radeon PRO V710 is a single-slot card with a 158 W TDP and a suggested 450 W PSU. It uses a PCIe 4.0 x16 interface and has no display outputs. The production status of the GP100 is end-of-life, while the V710's production status is not recorded in the database. The GP100's predecessor is Quadro Maxwell and its successor is Quadro Volta. The V710's predecessor is Radeon Pro Vega, and it has no recorded successor.

The architectural differences explain the benchmark outcomes. The V710's newer process node, higher clocks, and higher FP32 throughput give it a decisive edge in the shared OpenCL test. The GP100's older Pascal architecture, despite its wider memory bus and higher bandwidth, cannot match the compute throughput of RDNA 3.0. The V710 also brings ray tracing hardware, which the GP100 lacks entirely, and a more modern API feature set. The GP100 remains competitive in its percentile ranking, but the architectural gap is clear in the numbers.
