The 18th percentile ranking confirms that it does not compete with the W7800 in aggregate benchmark scores.

The use-case split is clear from the data. The W7800 wins in OpenCL and Vulkan compute workloads, which are common in rendering, simulation, and AI inference. The RTX 5070 SUPER has no recorded wins in those tests, and its only score comes from a DX12 gaming benchmark. The database shows no head-to-head benchmark entries between these two cards, so the comparison relies on their respective recorded test suites.

Architecture Differences

The two cards use fundamentally different architectures. The AMD Radeon PRO W7800 uses the Navi 31 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Plum Bonito, part of the Radeon Pro Navi (Navi III Series) generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the GB205 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the GeForce 50-series. Both are fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, but the transistor counts differ substantially. The W7800 packs 57,700 million transistors on a 529 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 109.1M per mm². The RTX 5070 SUPER has 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, with a higher density of 118.3M per mm².

The GPU layout differs as well. The W7800 has 4,480 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, 128 raster operation units, and 70 ray tracing cores. It has no tensor cores listed. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 6,400 shading units, 200 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 50 ray tracing cores, and 200 tensor cores. The shading unit count favors the NVIDIA card, but the W7800 has more TMUs and ROPs, which supports its higher pixel and texture rates. The W7800 records a pixel rate of 323.2 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 707.0 GTexel/s, while the RTX 5070 SUPER records 201.0 GPixel/s and 502.4 GTexel/s.

Memory architecture also diverges. The W7800 uses 32 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, with a bandwidth of 576.0 GB/s and a memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The RTX 5070 SUPER uses 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, with a higher bandwidth of 672.0 GB/s and a memory clock of 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). Despite the smaller bus width, the newer GDDR7 memory gives the NVIDIA card more raw bandwidth. The W7800 compensates with over 75% more capacity, which matters for large datasets in professional workloads.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database lists no direct head-to-head benchmark entries between the AMD Radeon PRO W7800 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER. The winsA and winsB fields are both zero, meaning there is no recorded test where they were measured against each other. The comparison must be drawn from their individual benchmark results and the relative positions in their respective rival groups.

The W7800's Geekbench OpenCL score of 154,366 and Vulkan score of 175,422 show strong compute performance. The average benchmark score of 164,894 places it just below the NVIDIA RTX 4500 Ada Generation (166,094) and just above the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 40 GB (162,504). The deltas are small, ranging from -0.7% to +1.5%, indicating that the W7800 sits in a tightly contested professional tier. The RTX 5070 SUPER's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,690 is its only recorded data point, and its nearest rivals are all within 1.7% of that figure. This suggests the RTX 5070 SUPER's measured performance is consistent with low-end cards in that specific test, though the database lacks other tests to confirm broader capabilities.

The biggest wins in the recorded data favor the W7800. It leads the NVIDIA A100 PCIe 40 GB by 1.5% in average score, while the RTX 5070 SUPER leads the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M by 1% and the GeForce GT 1030 by 1.1%. The absolute numbers are far apart, with the W7800 averaging over 60 times the RTX 5070 SUPER's score. These figures come from different benchmark suites, so they are not directly comparable as a ratio, but they do show that the W7800 is designed for high-throughput compute while the RTX 5070 SUPER records results typical of a lower-tier product in the database.

This card is suited for OpenCL and Vulkan workloads that require high FP32 and FP16 throughput, large memory capacity, and high pixel and texture rates.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER has a single recorded 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2,690, an 18th percentile ranking, and nearest rivals that are all low-end cards within 1.7% of its score. Its specifications include more shading units and tensor cores, but lower FP32 throughput and much lower average benchmark results. The lack of head-to-head benchmark data means the comparison is based on separate test suites, but the overall scores indicate the W7800 is the stronger performer in the database's recorded metrics.

For users selecting a card strictly from this data, the W7800 is the choice for compute-heavy professional tasks, given its higher scores, larger memory, and higher throughput. The RTX 5070 SUPER may be relevant for workloads that leverage its tensor cores or its higher memory bandwidth, but the recorded benchmarks show it in a lower performance tier. The data does not support a direct competition between the two, as they occupy different segments of the database.
