AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

AMD Radeon PRO W7500 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER

The database records two very different GPU designs. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 is a 6 nm workstation card with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a 5 nm Blackwell 2.0 part with 16 GB of GDDR7. Their average benchmark scores diverge sharply: the AMD card averages 16,415 points across its tests, while the NVIDIA card averages 6,270 points. This gap stems from the limited benchmark coverage for the NVIDIA card, which has only one recorded test in the database, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 run. The AMD card has nine benchmark entries spanning OpenCL, Vulkan, DirectX, and compute workloads. The comparison therefore relies on the available data, with the caveat that the NVIDIA card’s single score does not reflect its full capability.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct numerical comparison available is the average benchmark score. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 posts an average of 16,415 points, which is 2.6 times higher than the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER’s average of 6,270 points. However, this difference is misleading because the NVIDIA card has just one benchmark result, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,269.5. The AMD card’s average is derived from nine tests, including Geekbench OpenCL (58,213) and Vulkan (68,634) scores, Passmark G3D (13,368), and Passmark GPU Compute (5,910). These workloads measure different aspects of GPU performance, and the AMD card’s higher average reflects its strong showing in compute-oriented tests rather than a direct head-to-head win in identical benchmarks.

In the absence of matching test names, the database’s nearest rival comparisons provide context. The AMD card sits at the 59th percentile of all GPUs, with its closest rivals including the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (average 16,408, difference 0 percent) and the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (average 16,361, difference 0.3 percent). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, by contrast, sits at the 36th percentile, with its nearest rival being the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, which scores exactly 6,270 (difference 0 percent). These percentile values indicate that the AMD card ranks higher in the overall distribution, but the NVIDIA card’s percentile is based on a single test, making direct comparisons unreliable.

The Passmark results for the AMD card show a wide spread across API generations. It scores 200 in DirectX 9, 125 in DirectX 11, 65 in DirectX 10, and 46 in DirectX 12. The DirectX 9 score is more than four times the DirectX 12 score, suggesting that the architecture is better optimized for legacy APIs. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 68,634 exceeds the OpenCL score of 58,213, indicating stronger Vulkan performance. These numbers are the only detailed benchmark data in the database for either card, and they cannot be compared directly to the NVIDIA card’s single 3DMark result.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the AMD Radeon PRO W7500 wins in every benchmark category where it has results, but this is partly because the NVIDIA card lacks comparable entries. The AMD card’s strengths lie in compute and legacy DirectX workloads. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 58,213 and Vulkan score of 68,634 show solid general-purpose compute performance. The Passmark GPU Compute score of 5,910 further supports this, though it is lower than the G3D score of 13,368, suggesting that rasterization performance exceeds raw compute in this card’s profile. The DirectX 9 score of 200 is the highest among its DirectX results, which may benefit older applications.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in the only test it has, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, with a score of 6,269.5. This test is a modern DirectX 12 workload, and the score indicates that the card can handle contemporary rendering requirements. However, without additional benchmarks, the database cannot confirm wins in other areas such as OpenCL, Vulkan, or compute. The card’s hardware specifications suggest capabilities beyond the single score, but the data does not support claims of superiority in untested workloads.

For use cases, the AMD card appears suited to compute-heavy tasks and older API environments, based on its benchmark distribution. The NVIDIA card, with its single DX12 result, is positioned for modern gaming and rendering workloads, though the data is too sparse to draw firm conclusions. The AMD card’s average score of 16,415 places it near the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell (16,408) and AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT (16,361), indicating it competes with those products in aggregate performance. The NVIDIA card’s average of 6,270 places it near the NVIDIA Quadro K620 (6,282) and AMD FirePro W600 (6,223), but these are older, lower-tier cards, and the single test does not reflect the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER’s actual standing.

Architecture Differences

The two cards use different architectures, process nodes, and memory technologies. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture on a 6 nm TSMC process, with a chip codenamed Hotpink Bonefish and the Navi 33 die. It contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture on a 5 nm TSMC process, with the GB203 chip. It packs 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, a density of 120.6 million per mm². The NVIDIA chip has more than three times the transistors and a 85 percent higher transistor density, reflecting a more advanced manufacturing node and a larger die.

Memory configurations differ substantially. The AMD card has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 256.0 GB/s and an effective memory speed of 16 Gbps. The NVIDIA card has 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 896.0 GB/s and an effective speed of 28 Gbps. The NVIDIA card offers double the capacity, double the bus width, and 3.5 times the bandwidth. The memory type also differs, with GDDR7 being a newer standard than GDDR6.

Compute resources are heavily lopsided. The AMD card has 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 28 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA card has 8,960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 70 ray tracing cores, and 280 tensor cores. The NVIDIA card has five times the shading units, 2.5 times the TMUs, 1.5 times the ROPs, and 2.5 times the ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA card also includes tensor cores, which the AMD card lacks entirely. These differences translate into higher peak rates: the NVIDIA card reaches 235.4 GPixel/s pixel rate and 686.6 GTexel/s texture rate, versus 108.8 GPixel/s and 190.4 GTexel/s for the AMD card. Floating point performance follows the same trend, with the NVIDIA card delivering 43.94 TFLOPS FP32 and 43.94 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1 ratio), while the AMD card delivers 12.19 TFLOPS FP32 and 24.37 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1 ratio). The NVIDIA card’s FP16 matches its FP32, whereas the AMD card halves its FP16 throughput.

Clock speeds also differ. The AMD card runs at a base of 1500 MHz and a boost of 1700 MHz, with memory at 2000 MHz. The NVIDIA card runs at a base of 2295 MHz and a boost of 2452 MHz, with memory at 1750 MHz. The NVIDIA card’s higher core clocks, combined with more compute units, drive its higher peak performance. Power consumption scales accordingly: the AMD card has a TDP of 70 W and requires no power connectors, while the NVIDIA card has a TDP of 350 W and uses a 16-pin connector. The AMD card is single-slot with dimensions of 216 mm length, 115 mm height, and 20 mm width. The NVIDIA card is dual-slot with dimensions of 304 mm length, 137 mm height, and 48 mm width. The AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs differ as well: the AMD card has four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs, while the NVIDIA card has one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs.
