AMD Radeon PRO W7400 vs AMD Radeon RX 7700 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 and AMD Radeon RX 7700 are both built on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, but they target entirely different segments. The recorded data for the RX 7700 shows a comprehensive set of benchmark scores, while the W7400 has no benchmark entries in the database. This absence of measured results for the W7400 means a direct score-by-score comparison is impossible. However, the architectural and specification differences between the two cards are substantial enough to draw clear conclusions about their relative performance tiers.

The RX 7700's average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 15,852. This places it in the 58th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in the database include the AMD Radeon R9 370X with an average score of 15,862, representing a delta of -0.1 percent, meaning the RX 7700 trails that card by a negligible margin. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 scores 16,014, which puts the RX 7700 one percent behind it. The AMD Radeon Pro W5500 scores 15,679, and the RX 7700 leads it by 1.1 percent. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti scores 16,129, and the RX 7700 trails it by 1.7 percent.

Looking at individual benchmarks, the RX 7700 delivers a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,865. In Geekbench OpenCL, it records 106,028 points. The PassMark suite shows a G3D score of 20,974, a GPU compute score of 10,963, and a G2D score of 1,206. DirectX-specific PassMark scores are 261 for DX9, 186 for DX11, 96 for DX12, and 92 for DX10.

The W7400, by contrast, has no benchmark scores recorded in the database. Its percentile ranking is 50th among all GPUs, but this figure is not supported by any actual measured test results. The RX 7700's 58th percentile is backed by nine distinct benchmark entries. The W7400's average benchmark score is listed as zero, which reflects the absence of data rather than a performance result.

The most decisive numerical difference comes from the compute specifications. The RX 7700 delivers 25.18 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the W7400 delivers 7.885 TFLOPS. That is a ratio of roughly 3.2 to one in favor of the RX 7700. The pixel rate for the RX 7700 is 236.1 GPixel/s versus 70.40 GPixel/s for the W7400. The texture rate for the RX 7700 is 393.4 GTexel/s versus 123.2 GTexel/s for the W7400. Each of these figures points to the RX 7700 being in a much higher performance class.

Memory bandwidth follows the same pattern. The RX 7700 has 624.1 GB/s of bandwidth across a 256-bit bus, while the W7400 has 172.8 GB/s across a 128-bit bus. The RX 7700 also doubles the memory capacity with 16 GB versus 8 GB.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the AMD Radeon RX 7700 is the clear performance winner between these two cards. Its FP32 compute throughput of 25.18 TFLOPS is more than three times the W7400's 7.885 TFLOPS. Its pixel rate of 236.1 GPixel/s is more than three times the W7400's 70.40 GPixel/s. Its texture rate of 393.4 GTexel/s is more than three times the W7400's 123.2 GTexel/s. Memory bandwidth is 624.1 GB/s versus 172.8 GB/s, a factor of 3.6.

The RX 7700 also carries a larger memory pool at 16 GB versus 8 GB, which matters for workloads that exceed the smaller frame buffer. The 256-bit memory bus versus 128-bit further reinforces the bandwidth advantage.

The W7400 does have one clear advantage in the recorded data: power consumption. Its TDP is 55 W, while the RX 7700 is rated at 200 W. The W7400 requires no power connectors and suggests a 250 W power supply, while the RX 7700 needs two 8-pin connectors and a 550 W power supply. The W7400 is also a single-slot card measuring 168 mm in length, while the RX 7700 is a dual-slot card at 267 mm.

Who should pick which depends entirely on the workload. The RX 7700 is the choice for any task where raw throughput, high frame rates, or large memory capacity are the primary requirements. The W7400 is the choice for constrained installations where power draw, physical size, and thermal footprint are the limiting factors.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7700 wins in every measured performance category. Its 25.18 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 performance, 236.1 GPixel/s pixel throughput, and 393.4 GTexel/s texture throughput are all far beyond the W7400. The 16 GB memory capacity and 624.1 GB/s bandwidth give it a decisive edge in memory-heavy workloads such as large texture sets, high-resolution rendering, and datasets that exceed 8 GB.

The W7400 wins in operational efficiency. Its 55 W TDP means it can run in systems with a 250 W power supply recommendation, and it requires no auxiliary power connectors. The single-slot design at 168 mm length fits in compact chassis where the RX 7700's 267 mm dual-slot footprint will not. The W7400 also outputs four DisplayPort 2.1 connections, which is useful for multi-display setups that do not need HDMI or USB-C.

The RX 7700 offers a more varied display output configuration with one HDMI 2.1a, two DisplayPort 2.1, and one USB Type-C. This flexibility benefits users who need to connect to TVs, monitors, and VR headsets simultaneously.

The W7400 has a base clock of 330 MHz and a boost clock of 1,100 MHz, with no game clock listed. Memory clocks are 2,438 MHz with 19.5 Gbps effective on the RX 7700 versus 1,350 MHz with 10.8 Gbps effective on the W7400.

The RX 7700 is a dual-slot card requiring two 8-pin power connectors and a 550 W power supply. The W7400 is a single-slot card with no power connectors and a 250 W power supply suggestion. The RX 7700 measures 267 mm by 135 mm by 50 mm, while the W7400 measures 168 mm by 69 mm by 20 mm.

Display outputs differ. The W7400 has four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The RX 7700 has one HDMI 2.1a, two DisplayPort 2.1, and one USB Type-C. Both cards are currently marked as active in production.
