AMD Radeon PRO W7400 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no recorded head-to-head benchmark comparisons between the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER. The AMD card has no benchmark entries, while the NVIDIA card has ten recorded tests. This asymmetry limits direct statistical comparison, but the available data for the RTX 4080 SUPER provides a basis for evaluating its performance profile on its own terms.

The RTX 4080 SUPER records a PassMark G3D score of 34,245, placing it at the 86th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its average benchmark score across all tests is 54,209. The nearest rival in the database is the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080, which scores 54,247, a delta of -0.1%. That near-identical result indicates the SUPER variant offers essentially the same measured performance as its non-SUPER predecessor in aggregate testing. The AMD Radeon Pro W5700X sits 1.1% higher at 54,828, while the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and AMD Radeon 8060S score 55,698 and 55,757 respectively, deltas of -2.7% and -2.8%. These margins are small, suggesting the RTX 4080 SUPER clusters tightly with several high-end cards.

In individual tests, the RTX 4080 SUPER shows notable variation. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 260,075 exceeds the OpenCL score of 219,065 by roughly 18.7%, indicating the architecture handles Vulkan workloads with greater efficiency. The PassMark GPU Compute score of 19,822 reflects a strong compute capability, while the DirectX 12 score of 134 sits well below the DirectX 11 score of 301 and DirectX 10 score of 193.
