Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA TITAN Xp is built on the Pascal architecture using the GP102 chip, fabricated on a 16 nm process at TSMC. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip, built on a 6 nm process, also at TSMC. This process difference is substantial: the TITAN Xp has a die size of 471 mm² with 11,800 million transistors, while the Radeon PRO W7500 packs 13,300 million transistors into a much smaller 204 mm² die. Transistor density reflects this: 25.1M per mm² for the TITAN Xp versus 65.2M per mm² for the AMD card.

The TITAN Xp is a wider design with 3,840 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The Radeon PRO W7500 has 1,792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. However, the AMD card includes 28 ray tracing cores, a feature the NVIDIA card lacks entirely, since Pascal predates hardware ray tracing. Neither card has tensor cores.

Clock behavior differs as well. The TITAN Xp runs at a 1,405 MHz base and 1,582 MHz boost, while the Radeon PRO W7500 has a 1,500 MHz base and 1,700 MHz boost. Memory technology splits them further: the TITAN Xp uses GDDR5X at 11.4 Gbps effective, while the Radeon PRO W7500 uses GDDR6 at 16 Gbps effective.

The API support reflects their respective generations. The TITAN Xp supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Radeon PRO W7500 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, meaning it carries the newer DirectX feature level.

Power and physical design are starkly different. The TITAN Xp has a 250 W TDP, requires a 600 W suggested PSU, is dual-slot, and needs one 6-pin plus one 8-pin power connector. The Radeon PRO W7500 has a 70 W TDP, a 250 W suggested PSU, is single-slot, and needs no external power connectors. It also uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface versus the TITAN Xp's PCIe 3.0 x16.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data shows a clear overall winner: the NVIDIA TITAN Xp takes 8 of 9 head-to-head tests. But the margin varies enormously by workload.

The largest gap is in Passmark DirectX 10, where the TITAN Xp scores 119 against 65, an 83.1% advantage. Passmark GPU Compute also heavily favors NVIDIA at 9,430 versus 5,910, a 59.6% lead. The TITAN Xp also wins Passmark G3D with 18,750 against 13,368, a 40.3% margin. In DirectX 12, the TITAN Xp scores 69 versus 46, a 50% win. DirectX 11 shows 152 versus 125, a 21.6% advantage. Even in DirectX 9, the older card wins with 226 against 200, a 13% lead.

In Geekbench compute tests, the TITAN Xp wins OpenCL by 24.7% (72,585 versus 58,213) and Vulkan by 27% (87,180 versus 68,634). These are meaningful leads in compute-oriented workloads.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500's single win comes in Passmark G2D with 1,174 points, beating the TITAN Xp by 24.8%. The TITAN Xp's G2D score is 883. This is a narrow but real win for the AMD card in 2D graphics performance.

The overall pattern in the data is consistent: the TITAN Xp wins every 3D test by double-digit margins, often by 20% or more, and loses only in one 2D test. None of the AMD's wins come close to making up the difference in overall compute or DirectX performance.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ in nearly every major specification category. Process node: 16 nm for the TITAN Xp versus 6 nm for the Radeon PRO W7500. Die size: 471 mm² versus 204 mm². Transistor count: 11,800 million versus 13,300 million. Transistor density: 25.1M / mm² versus 65.2M / mm².

Memory: the TITAN Xp has 12 GB of GDDR5X on a 384-bit bus with 547.6 GB/s bandwidth, while the Radeon PRO W7500 has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 256.0 GB/s bandwidth. Memory clock: 11.4 Gbps effective versus 16 Gbps effective.

Compute units: the TITAN Xp has 3,840 shading units, 240 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The Radeon PRO W7500 has 1,792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The AMD card has 28 ray tracing cores; the NVIDIA card has none.

Rates: the TITAN Xp hits 151.9 GPixel/s pixel rate and 379.7 GTexel/s texture rate. The Radeon PRO W7500 delivers 108.8 GPixel/s and 190.4 GTexel/s. FP32 is close at 12.15 TFLOPS versus 12.19 TFLOPS, but FP16 differs sharply: 189.8 GFLOPS (1:64) on the TITAN Xp versus 24.37 TFLOPS (2:1) on the Radeon PRO W7500.

Power and physical specs differ absolutely. The TITAN Xp is 250 W TDP, dual-slot, 267 mm long, 112 mm height, 40 mm width, and needs 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin power connectors with a 600 W suggested PSU. The Radeon PRO W7500 is 70 W TDP, single-slot, 216 mm length, 115 mm height, 20 mm width, no external power connectors, and a 250 W suggested PSU.

Display outputs and bus interface: the TITANIUM Xp has 1x HDMI 2.0 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a output, PCIe 3.0 x16. The Radeon PRO W7500 has 4x DisplayPort 2.1, PCIe 4.0 x8. API level: DirectX 12 (12_1) versus DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2). Production status: end-of-life for NVIDIA, active for AMD. The TITAN Xp's launch MSRP was 1,199 USD.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The NVIDIA TITAN Xp is the stronger GPU in nearly every measured category. It wins 8 of 9 head-to-head benchmarks, with double-digit margins in most of them. Its average benchmark score of 19,177 places it at the 64th percentile of all GPUs, while the Radeon PRO W7500 sits at the 59th percentile with an average of 16,415.

The TITAN Xp's nearest rivals are all within 0.7%, which means it is competitive with modern mid-range cards despite being an older design. The Radeon PRO W7500's closest rivals include the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell at a 0% delta and the RTX 5090 D V2 at 0.5% ahead, indicating it sits in a similar performance tier but slightly lower.

The Radeon PRO W7500 wins in G2D performance, which reflects its newer 2D engine. It also has a dramatically lower TDP at 70 W versus 250 W, a single-slot form factor, no external power connectors, and a much smaller physical footprint. The newer 6 nm process and 28 ray tracing cores give it features the older card lacks.

Choosing between them depends on the workload. The TITAN Xp delivers far higher 3D performance and compute throughput in the recorded benchmarks. The Radeon PRO W7500 offers better 2D performance, modern ray tracing support, and a far more efficient package. For pure benchmark performance, the TITAN Xp is the clear pick. For efficiency-focused 2D and professional use cases, the Radeon PRO W7500 has its own strengths.

The data also shows the TITAN Xp wins in Passmark GPU Compute by 59.6%, a massive lead for compute-heavy tasks. The Radeon PRO PRO W7500's FP32 advantage is nearly identical to the TITAN Xp's, 12.19 TFLOPS versus 12.15 TFLOPS, meaning FP32 compute is a near tie. The RDNA 2.1: FP16 ratio on the Radeon PRO W7500 gives it 24.37 TFLOPS FP16, which matters for FP16 workloads only.

Neither card is a clear winner in every dimension. The TITAN Xp wins 3D tests by 21.6% to 83.1% margin, meaning it dominates almost every 3D test category in the data. The Radeon PRO W7500 wins G2D by 24.8%, giving it a clear edge in 2D performance.

The verdict from the numbers is simple: the NVIDIA TITAN Xp is the higher-performance GPU in the recorded benchmark suite, with 8 wins and a 16.8% higher average score. The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 is the newer, more efficient card with a single-slot design and ray tracing support, but it lags in 3D and compute performance.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA TITAN Xp wins in all 3D graphics tests. Passmark DirectX 10 shows an 83.1% lead, the largest in the entire comparison. DirectX 12 shows a 50% win, DirectX 11 a 21.6% win, and DirectX 9 a 13% win. Passmark G3D shows a 40.3% advantage, and Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan show 24.7% and 27% leads respectively. Passmark GPU Compute shows a 59.6% lead. This makes the TITAN Xp the choice for any 3D rendering, gaming, or compute-heavy workload in the benchmark data.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7500 wins in Passmark G2D with a 24.8% advantage. This indicates a stronger 2D graphics engine, which is relevant for desktop workflows, 2D CAD, or GUI-heavy applications. The Radeon PRO W7500 also wins on efficiency-related specifications: 70 W TDP versus 250 W, single-slot versus dual-slot, no external power connectors, and a 250 W suggested PSU versus 600 W. Its 28 ray tracing cores provide hardware ray tracing support that the TITAN Xp lacks entirely. Its 6 nm process and 65.2M / mm² transistor density represent a much more modern manufacturing approach.

For users who need maximum 3D performance and compute throughput in the recorded tests, the TITAN Xp is the dominant option. For users who prioritize 2D performance, efficiency, modern process technology, and ray tracing support, the Radeon PRO W7500 has distinct advantages. The choice depends entirely on which set of metrics matters more for the intended workload.
