AMD Radeon PRO W7600 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER Comparison

The AMD Radeon PRO W7600 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER occupy very different positions in the GPU landscape, one a compact professional card built for workstation duty, the other a high-end consumer gaming flagship, and the recorded data makes the split between them unusually stark. Both share a TSMC fab, a PCIe 4.0 host interface, and identical modern API support (DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, Vulkan 1.4), but nearly every measurable specification and every head-to-head benchmark goes to a different card. In the two direct comparisons in the database, the RTX 4080 SUPER wins both, by margins large enough that this pairing is less a contest than a question of which role you need the card to fill.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear division of labor. Anyone whose workload is dominated by raw GPU compute or high-framerate gaming should take the RTX 4080 SUPER: it leads both shared benchmarks, posting 219065 in Geekbench OpenCL against 81528 for the W7600, and 260075 versus 92688 in Geekbench Vulkan. That is a gap of well over double in both cases. Its compute scores sit alongside a PassMark G3D result of 34245 and a PassMark GPU Compute score of 19822, and its nearest rivals in the database are cards like the GeForce RTX 4080, the Radeon Pro W5700X, the Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, and the Radeon 8060S, all within a few points of it.

The W7600, by contrast, argues for itself on platform characteristics rather than throughput. It is a single-slot card drawing 130 W from a single 6-pin connector, with a suggested PSU of just 300 W, and it fits into enclosures that cannot host the triple-slot, 310 mm long RTX 4080 SUPER. It also carries a launch MSRP of 599 USD, stated once here for the record. Its percentile placement against all GPUs in the database is 93, actually higher than the 4080 SUPER's 86, which reflects that percentile ranks are computed within each card's own comparison context rather than against each other. Notably, the W7600 is still listed as Active in production while the 4080 SUPER is End-of-life, superseded by the GeForce 50 line. Availability therefore favors the AMD card if buying new matters.

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark ledger is lopsided: the RTX 4080 SUPER takes two wins from two shared tests, the W7600 zero. Where the NVIDIA card wins is unambiguous. In Geekbench OpenCL it scores 219065 to 81528, roughly 2.7 times the W7600's result. In Geekbench Vulkan the spread is even wider, 260075 to 92688. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6600 and its full PassMark suite (381 in DirectX 9, 193 in DirectX 10, 301 in DirectX 11, 134 in DirectX 12, 1270 in 2D graphics) round out a picture of a card built to push pixels and compute at high speed.

The W7600's wins are physical and I/O-related rather than performance-based. It is the only card of the two that offers DisplayPort 2.1, with four outputs, against the 4080 SUPER's HDMI 2.1 plus three DisplayPort 1.4a. For multi-monitor professional deployments, particularly on workstations where the newest DisplayPort revision matters, that is the W7600's strongest data-backed advantage. Its single-slot, 241 mm long, 115 mm tall form factor and modest 130 W TDP make it viable in small workstations where a 320 W triple-slot card is physically impossible.

Architecture Differences

These cards come from entirely different silicon lineages. The W7600 uses AMD's Navi 33 die on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed "Hotpink Bonefish", fabricated at TSMC on a 6 nm process. It packs 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, a density of 65.2 million transistors per square millimetre. The 4080 SUPER uses NVIDIA's AD103 die on the Ada Lovelace architecture, built at TSMC on a 5 nm process, with 45,900 million transistors across 379 mm² and a notably higher density of 121.1 million per square millimetre. That is roughly 3.5 times the transistor count on less than twice the die area.

The execution resource counts scale accordingly. The W7600 has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores, with no tensor cores listed. The 4080 SUPER has 10240 shading units, 320 TMUs, 112 ROPs, 80 RT cores, and 320 tensor cores. Five times the shading units, two and a half times the texture units, and a dedicated matrix hardware block the AMD card simply does not list. Clock behavior differs too: the W7600 runs a base clock of 1720 MHz with a 2440 MHz boost, while the 4080 SUPER runs 2295 MHz base and 2550 MHz boost. The clocks are relatively close; the resource counts are not.

FP32 throughput is 19.99 TFLOPS on the W7600 versus 52.22 TFLOPS on the 4080 SUPER. FP16 behavior diverges in kind, not just degree: the W7600 doubles its FP16 rate to 39.98 TFLOPS on a 2:1 ratio, while the 4080 SUPER matches its FP32 rate at 52.22 TFLOPS on a 1:1 ratio.

Memory subsystems also split cleanly. The W7600 carries 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus at 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocked at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The 4080 SUPER carries 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus at 736.3 GB/s, memory running at 1438 MHz (23 Gbps effective). Double the capacity, double the bus width, and more than double the bandwidth.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Only two tests overlap between the two records, and both tell the same story. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 4080 SUPER scored 219065 while the W7600 scored 81528, a gap that leaves the AMD card at roughly 37 percent of the NVIDIA result. In Geekbench Vulkan the spread widens further: 260075 to 92688, with the W7600 delivering about 36 percent of the winner's score. The final tally in the database is two wins for the 4080 SUPER and none for the W7600.

Context from each card's rival set sharpens the picture. The W7600's average benchmark score of 87108 places it in a cluster with the Quadro GP100 (87445 average), the CMP 40HX (85637), the RTX A4500 Mobile (91134), and the RTX A4500 (91671). The 4080 SUPER's average of 54209 puts it near the RTX 4080 (54247), the Radeon Pro W5700X (54828), the RX 6750 GRE 12 GB (55698), and the Radeon 8060S (55757). Note that these average scores come from different test mixes, so they are not directly comparable between the two cards, but the head-to-head OpenCL and Vulkan results, which are directly comparable, leave no ambiguity about raw throughput.

Specification Differences

The differences run across nearly every field. Process node: 6 nm for the W7600 versus 5 nm for the 4080 SUPER, both TSMC. Transistors: 13,300 million versus 45,900 million. Die size: 204 mm² versus 379 mm². Shading units: 2048 versus 10240. TMUs: 128 versus 320. ROPs: 64 versus 112. Ray tracing cores: 32 versus 80. Tensor cores: none listed versus 320. Pixel rate: 156.2 GPixel/s versus 285.6 GPixel/s. Texture rate: 312.3 GTexel/s versus 816.0 GTexel/s. Memory: 8 GB GDDR6, 128-bit, 288.0 GB/s versus 16 GB GDDR6X, 256-bit, 736.3 GB/s. Bus interface: PCIe 4.0 x8 versus PCIe 4.0 x16, another difference worth noting since the W7600's narrower host link could matter in transfer-heavy workflows. TDP: 130 W versus 320 W. Slot width: single versus triple. Physical size: 241 by 115 mm versus 310 by 140 by 61 mm. Release dates: the W7600 launched on 2023-08-02, the 4080 SUPER on 2024-01-30. Both share the same DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan support levels and both were built at TSMC, which is essentially where the similarity ends.
