AMD Radeon PRO W7600 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded benchmark data shows a decisive performance advantage for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti across every shared test. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 3090 Ti scores 174,441, while the AMD Radeon PRO W7600 scores 81,528. That is a 114% delta, meaning the NVIDIA card delivers more than double the raw compute throughput in this workload. The gap widens further in Geekbench Vulkan, where the RTX 3090 Ti reaches 215,633 against the W7600's 92,688, a 132.6% advantage. These are not marginal differences; the RTX 3090 Ti leads by a wide margin in both API-level compute tests.

The RTX 3090 Ti also holds a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result of 5,741, a test that the W7600 does not have a recorded score for in the database. While a direct comparison is unavailable, the RTX 3090 Ti's average benchmark score of 131,938 places it in the 95th percentile of all GPUs. The W7600's average benchmark score of 87,108 puts it in the 93rd percentile. Both cards sit near the top of the overall distribution, but the raw numbers show the RTX 3090 Ti operating in a different performance tier.

Examining the nearest rivals for each card provides additional context. The RTX 3090 Ti sits between the NVIDIA L4 (average score 131,072, delta +0.7%) and the NVIDIA RTX 4000 Ada Generation (135,218, delta -2.4%). It is also 2.4% behind the NVIDIA A10M and 2.6% behind the AMD Radeon PRO W6800. These are close margins, suggesting the RTX 3090 Ti is well-positioned among high-end workstation cards. The W7600, by contrast, is nearly level with the NVIDIA Quadro GP100 (87,445, delta -0.4%), slightly ahead of the NVIDIA CMP 40HX (85,637, delta +1.7%), and trails the NVIDIA RTX A4500 Mobile (91,134, delta -4.4%) and the NVIDIA RTX A4500 (91,671, delta -5%). The W7600's competitive set is clearly lower in absolute performance than the RTX 3090 Ti's.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two cards is substantial. The RTX 3090 Ti uses the GA102 chip built on NVIDIA's Ampere architecture, fabricated on an 8 nm process at Samsung. The W7600 uses the Navi 33 chip with AMD's RDNA 3.0 architecture, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. The process node difference gives the W7600 a density advantage: AMD's chip packs 65.2 million transistors per square millimeter versus NVIDIA's 45.1 million per square millimeter. However, the RTX 3090 Ti's physical scale is far larger. Its die measures 628 mm² and contains 28,300 million transistors, while the W7600's die is 204 mm² with 13,300 million transistors.

Memory configurations differ dramatically. The RTX 3090 Ti carries 24 GB of GDDR6X on a 384-bit bus, delivering 1.01 TB/s of bandwidth with memory running at 21 Gbps effective. The W7600 has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth at 18 Gbps effective. The NVIDIA card has roughly 3.5 times the memory bandwidth, which directly impacts texture-heavy workloads and large dataset processing. Both cards support PCIe 4.0, but the RTX 3090 Ti uses a x16 interface while the W7600 uses a x8 interface.

Compute resources also favor the RTX 3090 Ti heavily. NVIDIA's card has 10,752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, 112 raster output units, 84 ray tracing cores, and 336 tensor cores. The W7600 has 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores, with no tensor cores listed. The FP32 throughput reflects this: the RTX 3090 Ti delivers 40.00 TFLOPS, while the W7600 delivers 19.99 TFLOPS. Interestingly, the W7600 achieves 39.98 TFLOPS in FP16 with a 2:1 ratio, nearly matching the RTX 3090 Ti's FP16 output of 40.00 TFLOPS, which runs at a 1:1 ratio.

Clock speeds tell a different story. The W7600 has a base clock of 1720 MHz and a boost clock of 2440 MHz, while the RTX 3090 Ti runs at 1560 MHz base and 1860 MHz boost. The AMD card's higher clocks help it close some of the gap in pixel and texture rates, but not enough to overcome the massive shader count difference. The RTX 3090 Ti achieves 208.3 GPixel/s and 625.0 GTexel/s, versus 156.2 GPixel/s and 312.3 GTexel/s for the W7600.

Physical and power characteristics diverge sharply. The RTX 3090 Ti is a triple-slot card measuring 336 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 61 mm in width, with a 450 W TDP and a single 16-pin power connector, requiring an 850 W power supply. The W7600 is a single-slot card at 241 mm by 115 mm with a 130 W TDP, a single 6-pin connector, and a 300 W power supply recommendation. Display outputs also differ: the RTX 3090 Ti offers one HDMI 2.1 and three DisplayPort 1.4a ports, while the W7600 provides four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 3090 Ti wins decisively in raw compute and memory-intensive workloads. Its 114% lead in OpenCL and 132.6% lead in Vulkan make it the clear choice for applications that leverage general-purpose GPU compute, such as rendering, simulation, or data processing. The 24 GB memory capacity and 1.01 TB/s bandwidth position it for large datasets and high-resolution textures that would exhaust the W7600's 8 GB frame buffer. The RTX 3090 Ti's 40.00 TFLOPS FP32 and 84 ray tracing cores also give it an edge in real-time ray tracing and FP32-heavy scientific workloads.

The W7600 wins in efficiency and physical footprint. Its 130 W TDP is dramatically lower than the RTX 3090 Ti's 450 W, and its single-slot design with a 6-pin connector makes it far easier to integrate into dense or compact systems. The 6 nm process node and higher transistor density (65.2M per mm²) indicate a more modern manufacturing approach. The W7600's four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs support newer display standards, which matters for multi-monitor professional setups. Its FP16 throughput of 39.98 TFLOPS is nearly identical to the RTX 3090 Ti's, making it competitive for FP16-optimized inference or compute tasks despite the overall FP32 deficit.

For users who prioritize absolute performance, the RTX 3090 Ti is the only option between these two. For users who prioritize power efficiency, physical size, or display connectivity, the W7600 offers a compelling profile, but the benchmark data shows it cannot match the RTX 3090 Ti's compute output. The W7600's 93rd percentile ranking is respectable, but the RTX 3090 Ti's 95th percentile ranking and higher average score of 131,938 versus 87,108 reflect a clear hierarchy.

The Verdict

The data supports a straightforward recommendation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti is the superior performer in every measured benchmark shared between the two cards. Its 114% lead in OpenCL and 132.6% lead in Vulkan are decisive, and its 24 GB memory configuration with 1.01 TB/s bandwidth makes it suitable for workloads that the W7600 cannot accommodate. The RTX 3090 Ti's 95th percentile ranking and average score of 131,938 place it among the top GPUs in the database, well above the W7600's 93rd percentile and 87,108 average.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7600 is the better choice for constrained environments. Its single-slot design, 130 W TDP, and 300 W power supply requirement make it easy to deploy in systems where space and power are limited. The 6 nm process node and four DisplayPort 2.1 outputs are modern advantages. Its FP16 throughput of 39.98 TFLOPS is close to the RTX 3090 Ti's 40.00 TFLOPS, which may matter for specific FP16 workloads. However, the benchmark scores show that the W7600 competes with cards like the NVIDIA Quadro GP100 and RTX A4500 Mobile, not with the RTX 3090 Ti's tier.

Users who need maximum compute performance, large memory capacity, or ray tracing capability should select the RTX 3090 Ti. Users who need a low-power, single-slot professional card with modern display outputs should select the W7600. The recorded data does not show any workload where the W7600 outperforms the RTX 3090 Ti in the tests available.
