Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER dominates across every recorded benchmark category in the database, making it the clear performance winner in this comparison. Its average benchmark score of 43,223 places it at the 83rd percentile, while the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 has no recorded benchmark scores and sits at the 50th percentile. The RTX 4070 SUPER outperforms its nearest rivals, including the Quadro M6000 24 GB by 0.1%, the RTX 5050 Mobile by 0.1%, and the Quadro M6000 by 0.2%, while leading the RTX 4090 Mobile by 1%.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 wins in the efficiency and physical footprint categories. Its 55 W TDP requires no power connectors and a modest 250 W suggested power supply, making it suitable for compact single-slot installations. The card measures 168 mm in length, 69 mm in height, and 20 mm in width, which is dramatically smaller than the NVIDIA card's 267 mm length, 112 mm height, and 42 mm width. For environments where space is constrained and power delivery is limited, the AMD card's low-profile design offers a distinct advantage.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER also wins decisively on memory bandwidth and capacity. The 504.2 GB/s bandwidth and 12 GB frame buffer support higher-resolution textures and larger datasets than the AMD card's 172.8 GB/s and 8 GB capacity. The NVIDIA card's 192-bit bus width versus the AMD card's 128-bit bus further reinforces this advantage.

For professional visualization workloads that rely on raw compute throughput, the RTX 4070 SUPER's 35.48 TFLOPS FP32 performance dwarfs the W7400's 7.885 TFLOPS. The NVIDIA card also has substantially higher pixel and texture rates, at 198.0 GPixel/s and 554.4 GTexel/s respectively, compared to the AMD card's 70.40 GPixel/s and 123.2 GTexel/s.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 retains an advantage in display connectivity, offering 4x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, which is a newer standard than the RTX 4070 SUPER's combination of 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. For multi-monitor professional setups requiring the latest DisplayPort standard, the AMD card provides more flexible modern connectivity.

Architecture Differences

The two cards represent fundamentally different GPU architectures from their respective manufacturers. The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 uses the Navi 33 chip based on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish, part of the Radeon Pro Navi generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER uses the AD104 chip based on Ada Lovelace architecture, part of the GeForce 40 series.

The manufacturing processes differ significantly. AMD uses a 6 nm TSMC process with a transistor density of 65.2 million transistors per square millimeter. NVIDIA uses a 5 nm TSMC process with a transistor density of 121.8 million transistors per square millimeter, nearly double the density of the AMD chip. This density advantage allows the NVIDIA chip to pack 35,800 million transistors into a 294 mm² die, while the AMD chip fits 13,300 million transistors into a smaller 204 mm² die.

Shader configuration differs substantially between the two architectures. The AMD card has 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 raster output units. The NVIDIA card has 7,168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster output units. The RTX 4070 SUPER also includes 56 RT cores and 224 tensor cores, dedicated hardware for ray tracing and AI acceleration respectively. The Radeon PRO W7400 has 28 RT cores but no tensor core equivalent listed in the database.

Memory technology differs as well. The AMD card uses GDDR6 memory, while the NVIDIA card uses the higher-performance GDDR6X variant. Both support the latest API standards, with DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4 listed for both cards.

Legacy DirectX tests show scores of 344 for DirectX 9, 273 for DirectX 11, 167 for DirectX 10, and 110 for DirectX 12. The G2D score is 1,184.

The nearest rival data for the RTX 4070 SUPER provides context for its standing. The Quadro M6000 24 GB averages 43,262 points, a 0.1% difference from the RTX 4070 SUPER's 43,223 average. The RTX 5050 Mobile averages 43,268 points, also a 0.1% difference. The Quadro M6000 averages 43,301 points, a 0.2% difference. The RTX 4090 Mobile averages 43,667 points, a 1% difference, placing the RTX 4070 SUPER slightly below this mobile flagship.

The wins tally in the head-to-head comparison shows zero wins for the AMD card and zero wins for the NVIDIA card, reflecting the absence of direct benchmark data between the two. The overall average benchmark score of 43,223 for the RTX 4070 SUPER, combined with its 83rd percentile ranking, indicates that it performs at a level far above the 50th percentile occupied by the Radeon PRO W7400.

Given the specification differences, the RTX 4070 SUPER's advantages in shading units, texture units, ROPs, RT cores, memory bandwidth, and clock speeds all point to substantially higher performance in every recorded metric. The AMD card's efficient 55 W design and compact single-slot footprint represent its primary differentiating strengths, but no benchmark data exists to demonstrate its computational capabilities relative to the NVIDIA card.
