AMD Radeon PRO W7400 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no shared benchmark scores between the AMD Radeon PRO W7400 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, so direct head-to-head measurements are unavailable. However, the NVIDIA card's recorded results allow for a quantitative assessment of its performance tier. The RTX 5060 achieves an average benchmark score of 26331, placing it in the 72nd percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon 860M at 26401 (0.3% ahead of the RTX 5060), the NVIDIA GeForce MX550 at 26421 (0.3% ahead), the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT 50th Anniversary at 26553 (0.8% ahead), and the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT at 26011 (1.2% behind). This clustering shows the RTX 5060 sits in a tightly contested performance band where single-digit percentage differences separate competitors.

The RTX 5060's individual benchmark results reveal its strongest areas. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 113321, while its Geekbench OpenCL result is 112787, a difference of 534 points favoring Vulkan. The Passmark suite shows a G3D score of 20891, which far exceeds the GPU compute score of 10899, indicating the card's graphics rendering workload performance is roughly double its compute-oriented throughput in that benchmark suite. The DirectX 9 result of 225 and DirectX 11 result of 200 both outpace the DirectX 12 score of 77, an unusual pattern suggesting the card's older API paths deliver higher relative scores in the Passmark methodology. The DirectX 10 score of 127 falls between those extremes. The Passmark G2D score of 1154 reflects 2D graphics acceleration capability.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 has no benchmark entries in the database, so its percentile rating of 50 and average benchmark score of 0 represent missing data rather than measured performance. The comparison between these two cards must therefore rely on architectural and specification differences rather than empirical test results.

Architecture Differences

The two cards represent fundamentally different GPU architectures from their respective manufacturers. The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 employs the Blackwell 2.0 architecture with the GB206 chip, built on a 5 nm process, also at TSMC. The process node difference means the NVIDIA card uses a smaller manufacturing technology, which contributes to its higher transistor density of 121.0M per mm² compared to AMD's 65.2M per mm². The RTX 5060 packs 21,900 million transistors into a 181 mm² die, while the Radeon PRO W7400 fits 13,300 million transistors into a larger 204 mm² die.

The compute resource allocation differs substantially. The RTX 5060 contains 3840 shading units, 120 texture mapping units, 48 raster output units, 30 ray tracing cores, and 120 tensor cores. The Radeon PRO W7400 has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 raster output units, and 28 ray tracing cores, with no tensor cores listed. The NVIDIA card's tensor cores provide dedicated AI acceleration hardware that the AMD card lacks entirely. Despite having fewer shading units, the AMD card has more raster output units (64 versus 48), which can affect pixel throughput characteristics.

Clock behavior also diverges. The RTX 5060 operates with a base clock of 2280 MHz and a boost clock of 2497 MHz, while the Radeon PRO W7400 has a base clock of 330 MHz and a boost clock of 1100 MHz. This substantial difference in operating frequencies contributes to the NVIDIA card's higher theoretical throughput figures. The RTX 5060 achieves 19.18 TFLOPS of FP32 and FP16 performance, while the Radeon PRO W7400 delivers 7.885 TFLOPS for both FP32 and FP16, with a 1:1 ratio noted. The pixel rate measures 119.9 GPixel/s for the RTX 5060 versus 70.40 GPixel/s for the AMD card, and the texture rate reaches 299.6 GTexel/s versus 123.2 GTexel/s respectively.

Memory technology represents another architectural divide. The RTX 5060 uses GDDR7 memory clocked at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective data rate, while the Radeon PRO W7400 uses GDDR6 at 1350 MHz with 10.8 Gbps effective. Both use a 128-bit memory bus, but the newer GDDR7 standard enables the RTX 5060's 448.0 GB/s bandwidth compared to 172.8 GB/s for the GDDR6-based AMD card.

Specification Differences

The physical and power specifications show clear separation between the two cards. The Radeon PRO W7400 is a single-slot card with no power connectors required, while the RTX 5060 is a dual-slot card requiring one 8-pin power connector. The AMD card's TDP is 55 W with a suggested power supply of 250 W, whereas the NVIDIA card's TDP is 145 W with a suggested power supply of 300 W. The RTX 5060's launch MSRP is 299 USD.

The bus interfaces differ: the Radeon PRO W7400 uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the RTX 5060 uses PCIe 5.0 x8. Display outputs also vary, with the AMD card offering 4x DisplayPort 2.1 and the NVIDIA card providing 1x HDMI 2.1b plus 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. The AMD card lacks an HDMI output entirely in the recorded specifications.

Release timing places the Radeon PRO W7400 with a 2025-08-02 release date, while the RTX 5060 was released on 2025-05-18, making the NVIDIA card the earlier product by approximately two and a half months. The AMD card's predecessor is listed as Radeon Pro Vega with no successor recorded, while the RTX 5060's predecessor is GeForce 40 and its successor is GeForce 60. The RTX 5060 belongs to the GeForce 50-series and the GeForce 50 generation, while the Radeon PRO W7400 belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation.

The Verdict

The recorded data indicates the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 is the higher-performance product across nearly every measurable specification. Its FP32 throughput of 19.18 TFLOPS exceeds the AMD Radeon PRO W7400's 7.885 TFLOPS by a factor of approximately 2.4. The RTX 5060's memory bandwidth of 448.0 GB/s is about 2.6 times the AMD card's 172.8 GB/s. The NVIDIA card also has more than double the shading units and a substantially higher pixel rate of 119.9 GPixel/s versus 70.40 GPixel/s. The RTX 5060's 72nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, supported by an average benchmark score of 26331, confirms its competitive position, while the Radeon PRO W7400 has no benchmark data recorded.

The Radeon PRO W7400 does hold advantages in specific areas. Its 55 W TDP is dramatically lower than the RTX 5060's 145 W, and it requires no external power connectors. The AMD card's single-slot design with a 168 mm length, 69 mm height, and 20 mm width makes it far more compact than the RTX 5060's 241 mm length, 111 mm height, and 40 mm width dual-slot design. The AMD card also has 64 raster output units compared to 48 on the NVIDIA card, and its 4x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs offer more display connectivity options for multi-monitor setups.

The Radeon PRO W7400's positioning as a professional workstation card with a 6 nm process and lower power envelope suggests a focus on efficiency and compact deployments, while the RTX 5060's higher specifications, GDDR7 memory, and tensor cores indicate a broader performance-oriented design. The absence of shared benchmark data means the performance gap cannot be quantified through direct testing, but the specification differences point decisively toward the RTX 5060 for raw compute and graphics throughput.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 wins in all performance-oriented categories derived from the recorded data. Its 19.18 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 performance, 119.9 GPixel/s pixel rate, 299.6 GTexel/s texture rate, and 448.0 GB/s memory bandwidth position it as the stronger choice for compute-heavy workloads. The card's 30 ray tracing cores and 120 tensor cores provide dedicated hardware for ray-traced rendering and AI-accelerated tasks, capabilities that the Radeon PRO W7400 lacks entirely. The RTX 5060's PCIe 5.0 x8 interface offers double the per-lane bandwidth of the AMD card's PCIe 4.0 x8 connection. The NVIDIA card's 72nd percentile ranking and average benchmark score of 26331 provide empirical evidence of its performance standing.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7400 wins in efficiency and form factor categories. Its 55 W TDP represents less than 40% of the RTX 5060's 145 W power draw, and its lack of power connectors simplifies installation in constrained systems. The single-slot, 168 mm design occupies significantly less physical space than the RTX 5060's dual-slot, 241 mm layout. The AMD card's 64 raster output units exceed the NVIDIA card's 48, which may benefit certain fill-rate-limited workloads. The 4x DisplayPort 2.1 outputs support four simultaneous displays with a modern display standard, while the RTX 5060 offers a single HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs. The Radeon PRO W7400's lower suggested power supply requirement of 250 W versus 300 W also makes it suitable for systems with smaller power delivery capacity.

The release dates show the RTX 5060 launched first on 2025-05-18, with the Radeon PRO W7400 following on 2025-08-02, so the AMD card represents a more recent introduction to the market. The RTX 5060's successor, GeForce 60, is already recorded, while the Radeon PRO W7400 has no successor listed, suggesting different product lifecycle positions.
