AMD Radeon PRO W7700 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER Comparison

The Verdict

The recorded data presents two cards with very different profiles. The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 sits at the 95th percentile among all GPUs, with an average benchmark score of 118976. Its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation at 1.6% behind and the NVIDIA Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB at 4% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER currently sits at the 19th percentile with an average score of 3075, placing it near the NVIDIA Quadro P1000, which trails by 2.8%, and the Intel Arc Pro B60, which leads by 3.4%.

The W7700 generates substantially higher aggregate benchmark results in the database. Its two recorded tests, Geekbench OpenCL at 108245 and Geekbench Vulkan at 129706, show a strong compute-focused profile. The RTX 5080 SUPER has only one recorded benchmark, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 at 3075, a different workload type that cannot be directly compared to Geekbench results. The data indicates the W7700 is the established performer in the database with broad software support, while the RTX 5080 SUPER is a recent entry with limited recorded measurements.

The RTX 5080 SUPER carries a 415 W TDP versus 190 W for the W7700. The W7700 uses a single 8-pin connector and recommends a 450 W power supply, while the RTX 5080 SUPER uses a single 16-pin connector with no suggested PSU listed. The RTX 5080 SUPER measures 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 40 mm in width, making it substantially larger than the W7700 at 241 mm by 111 mm. Both cards are dual-slot designs. The W7700 lists a 999 USD launch MSRP, and the RTX 5080 SUPER also lists a 999 USD launch MSRP.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon PRO W7700 uses the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Wheat Nas, part of the Radeon Pro Navi generation. It is manufactured by TSMC on a 5 nm process with 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 81.2 million per mm². The RTX 5080 SUPER uses the GB203 chip built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture as part of the GeForce 50-series. It also uses TSMC 5 nm, but packs 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, resulting in 120.6 million transistors per mm².

The RTX 5080 SUPER contains 10752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, 112 raster output units, 84 ray tracing cores, and 336 tensor cores. The W7700 has 3072 shading units, 192 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 48 ray tracing cores, with no tensor core field recorded. The RTX 5080 SUPER also carries a higher transistor density, indicating a more compact logic layout. The W7700 uses GDDR6 memory, while the RTX 5080 SUPER uses GDDR7. The W7700 memory clock is 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the RTX 5080 SUPER memory clock is 2000 MHz with 32 Gbps effective.

Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The bus interface differs: the W7700 uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the RTX 5080 SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs also differ: the W7700 provides 4x DisplayPort 2.1, while the RTX 5080 SUPER provides 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. The RTX 5080 SUPER is marked as production status Active, while the W7700 has no production status recorded. Release dates differ as well: the W7700 released in November 2023, and the RTX 5080 SUPER in December 2025.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head benchmark array between these two cards is empty, so the database contains no directly paired test results. The available evidence comes from separate benchmark suites. The W7700 records a Geekbench OpenCL score of 108245 and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 129706, with an average of 118976. The RTX 5080 SUPER records a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3075.

The W7700 average score places it 1.3% above the NVIDIA GB10, 1.6% above the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation, 4% above the Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB, and 4.4% above the RTX A5500 Mobile. These deltas show a tightly clustered group where the W7700 leads by small margins. The RTX 5080 SUPER average score sits 2.8% above the Quadro P1000, 3.1% above the GeForce 820A, 3.4% below the Intel Arc Pro B60, and 3.6% above the GTX 860M. The RTX 5080 SUPER rivals are much lower-tier cards in the database, which reflects the sparse benchmark coverage rather than the card's actual capability.

The W7700 shows strong OpenCL and Vulkan results, both exceeding 100000 points. The Geekbench Vulkan score runs 19.8% higher than the OpenCL score, indicating the RDNA 3.0 architecture delivers stronger performance under Vulkan in the recorded data. The RTX 5080 SUPER has no OpenCL or Vulkan records, so the database cannot yet confirm how it handles those APIs. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test is a different generation of workload, emphasizing DX12 rasterization and ray tracing, which makes direct numerical comparison impossible.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly every major specification. The W7700 has 16 GB GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus with 576.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 5080 SUPER has 24 GB GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus with 1.02 TB/s bandwidth. The memory clock differs: 2250 MHz for the W7700 versus 2000 MHz for the RTX 5080 SUPER, though the effective data rate is 18 Gbps versus 32 Gbps.

Compute rates show a large gap. The W7700 delivers 31.95 TFLOPS FP32 and 63.90 TFLOPS FP16 at 2:1 ratio. The RTX 5080 SUPER delivers 56.28 TFLOPS FP32 and 56.28 TFLOPS FP16 at 1:1 ratio.

Where Each One Wins

The W7700 wins in the recorded compute benchmarks. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 108245 and Vulkan score of 129706 place it far above the RTX 5080 SUPER's single 3DMark result in aggregate terms. The W7700 also leads in relative standing among all GPUs, at the 95th percentile versus the 19th percentile. Its nearest rival cluster shows it consistently ahead of professional workstation cards like the RTX 4000 SFF Ada Generation and Tesla V100 SXM2 16 GB.

The RTX 5080 SUPER wins on raw specification counts. It has more shading units, TMUs, ROPs, ray tracing cores, and tensor cores. It delivers higher FP32 throughput, higher pixel rate, higher texture rate, more memory capacity, and double the memory bandwidth. It also uses a newer memory type, GDDR7, and a newer PCIe interface, PCIe 5.0 x16. The higher transistor count and density suggest more complex compute resources.

The W7700 wins on power efficiency in the recorded data. It delivers its benchmark scores at 190 W, while the RTX 5080 SUPER requires 415 W. The W7700 also has simpler power requirements, a single 8-pin connector and a 450 W suggested PSU, compared to the 16-pin connector of the RTX 5080 SUPER with no suggested PSU recorded. The W7700 is also a smaller card physically, at 241 mm versus 304 mm length.

The RTX 5080 SUPER wins on specification headroom for future workloads. Its FP16 throughput matches its FP32 throughput at 1:1 ratio, while the W7700 achieves FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. The 24 GB memory capacity doubles the W7700's 16 GB. The RTX 5080 SUPER also carries 336 tensor cores, a feature the W7700 does not list, which indicates dedicated AI acceleration hardware.

The database currently lacks head-to-head benchmark entries, so the verdict depends on how workloads map to the available tests. For OpenCL and Vulkan compute workloads, the W7700 dominates the recorded results. For DX12 workloads measured by 3DMark Steel Nomad, the RTX 5080 SUPER has the only recorded score. The W7700's release in November 2023 and the RTX 5080 SUPER's release in December 2025 mean the newer card has had less time to accumulate benchmark coverage in the database.
