AMD Radeon PRO W7900 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile Comparison

AMD Radeon PRO W7900 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile occupy different corners of the GPU landscape, one a triple-slot workstation accelerator for fixed installations, the other a low-power mobile part for laptops. The recorded benchmark data shows a clear split in workload suitability, with the mobile NVIDIA part winning both shared tests outright, while the AMD card delivers far higher raw throughput metrics for compute-heavy and rendering tasks. The database places the Radeon PRO W7900 at the 94th percentile of all GPUs, while the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile sits at the 80th percentile, yet the average benchmark score for the AMD part is 110,725 against 35,435 for the NVIDIA part, a gap driven by the inclusion of additional DirectX and compute tests in the mobile card’s profile.

Where Each One Wins

The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins the only two head-to-head benchmark comparisons recorded in the database. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 143,870 against the Radeon’s 84,379, a 41.4% advantage. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 139,213 against 137,070, a narrower 1.5% margin. These results indicate that for general-purpose compute workloads measured through OpenCL, and to a lesser extent Vulkan, the mobile NVIDIA part is the stronger performer in this direct comparison.

The Radeon PRO W7900 wins in every architectural capacity metric that the database records. Its FP32 throughput is 61.32 TFLOPS against 17.04 TFLOPS for the mobile part. Texture fill rate reaches 958.1 GTexel/s versus 266.2 GTexel/s, and pixel rate reaches 479.0 GPixel/s versus 115.8 GPixel/s. Memory bandwidth is 864.0 GB/s against 672.0 GB/s, and the AMD card carries 48 GB of GDDR6 across a 384-bit bus, while the NVIDIA part has 12 GB of GDDR7 across a 192-bit bus. The Radeon also has more shading units (6144 vs 5888), more texture mapping units (384 vs 184), more raster output pipelines (192 vs 80), and more ray tracing cores (96 vs 46). These figures position the W7900 as the capacity leader for workloads that scale with raw compute resources, even though the recorded benchmark scores do not reflect that advantage in the tested APIs.

The NVIDIA part counters with efficiency. Its TDP is 60 W, a fraction of the Radeon’s 295 W, and it requires no power connectors in a mobile implementation, while the AMD card uses two 8-pin connectors and suggests a 600 W power supply. The GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile also brings 184 tensor cores, a feature category the Radeon does not list, and it uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface versus the Radeon’s PCIe 4.0 x16. The transistor density is higher on the NVIDIA chip at 118.3M per mm² against 109.1M per mm², despite the Radeon having a larger die (529 mm² vs 263 mm²) and more total transistors (57,700 million vs 31,100 million).

The Verdict

The data indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the better choice for users whose primary metric is the recorded Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan scores. It wins both head-to-head tests, and its OpenCL victory is substantial at 41.4%. For tasks that rely on OpenCL compute, the mobile part delivers a decisive measured advantage over the Radeon PRO W7900. The Vulkan result is close, only 1.5% apart, so neither card dominates that API in practice.

The AMD Radeon PRO W7900 is the better choice for workloads that demand maximum memory capacity, memory bandwidth, and raw rasterization or texture throughput. Its 48 GB frame buffer is four times larger than the NVIDIA part’s 12 GB, and its 864.0 GB/s bandwidth exceeds the mobile card by 28.6%. The FP32 compute rate of 61.32 TFLOPS is 3.6 times higher than 17.04 TFLOPS. Applications that scale with these resources, such as large dataset rendering, high-resolution texture workloads, or compute kernels that fit within the larger memory pool, would favor the AMD card based on its architectural specifications.

The percentile ranking complicates a simple verdict. The Radeon sits at the 94th percentile against all GPUs, while the mobile NVIDIA part is at the 80th. However, the average benchmark score for the Radeon is 110,725, which is higher than the NVIDIA part’s 35,435, because the mobile card’s average includes several low DirectX and 2D scores. These additional tests (Passmark DirectX 9 at 259, DirectX 10 at 151, DirectX 11 at 237, DirectX 12 at 102, G2D at 981, G3D at 24,004, and GPU compute at 10,101) pull its average down, while the W7900 has only the two Geekbench scores in its profile. A user selecting purely on the head-to-head results would choose the NVIDIA part; a user selecting on peak compute capacity would choose the AMD part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest win for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is in Geekbench OpenCL. The mobile card scores 143,870, while the Radeon PRO W7900 scores 84,379. The delta of 41.4% is the single biggest margin in any recorded comparison between these two cards. This result is notable because the Radeon has a much higher theoretical FP32 rate and more memory bandwidth, yet the OpenCL workload in this test favors the NVIDIA implementation by a wide margin.

The Vulkan test is far closer. The NVIDIA part wins with 139,213 against 137,070, a 1.5% delta. This near tie suggests that Vulkan performance is roughly equivalent between the two cards, with the mobile part holding a slight edge. The Radeon’s higher pixel rate and texture rate do not translate into a Vulkan victory in the recorded data.

The Radeon’s wins are not in the head-to-head benchmark table but in the specification sheet. Its FP32 rate of 61.32 TFLOPS is 3.6 times the mobile card’s 17.04 TFLOPS. Its texture rate of 958.1 GTexel/s is 3.6 times the mobile card’s 266.2 GTexel/s. Its pixel rate of 479.0 GPixel/s is 4.1 times the mobile card’s 115.8 GPixel/s. These are the metrics that would matter for rasterization-heavy workloads, and they clearly favor the AMD part.

Memory is another decisive Radeon advantage. The W7900 has 48 GB of GDDR6 on a 384-bit bus, delivering 864.0 GB/s. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile has 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s. The AMD card has 4 times the capacity and 28.6% more bandwidth. The NVIDIA part uses a newer memory type, but the bandwidth and capacity gap remains substantial.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different generations and design philosophies. The AMD Radeon PRO W7900 uses the Navi 31 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Plum Bonito, and belongs to the Radeon Pro Navi generation. It is built on a 5 nm process at TSMC with 57,700 million transistors on a 529 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 109.1M per mm². The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses the GB205 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture and belongs to the GeForce 50 Mobile generation. It is also built on a 5 nm TSMC process but packs 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, yielding a higher density of 118.3M per mm².

The compute resources differ sharply. The Radeon has 6,144 shading units, 384 TMUs, 192 ROPs, and 96 ray tracing cores. The mobile NVIDIA part has 5,888 shading units, 184 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 46 ray tracing cores, and 184 tensor cores. The Radeon does not list tensor cores, while the NVIDIA part includes them at 184, a significant feature for AI-accelerated workloads.

Memory architecture favors the AMD card. The W7900 uses 48 GB of GDDR6 on a 384-bit bus with 864.0 GB/s bandwidth and a memory clock of 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile uses 12 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth and a memory clock of 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The GDDR7 type is newer and operates at a higher effective data rate, but the AMD card has four times the capacity and 28.6% more bandwidth.

Clock speeds show the mobile part running much lower. The Radeon has a base clock of 1760 MHz and a boost of 2495 MHz. The NVIDIA mobile chip has a base of 847 MHz and a boost of 1447 MHz. This clock difference reflects the 60 W power envelope of the mobile part against the 295 W TDP of the workstation card.

Physical and interface differences are substantial. The Radeon PRO W7900 is a triple-slot card measuring 280 mm by 110 mm by 51 mm, with two 8-pin power connectors and a suggested 600 W power supply. It uses PCIe 4.0 x16 and offers 3x DisplayPort 2.1 plus 1x mini-DisplayPort 2.1 outputs. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no dimensions listed, no power connectors, and portable device dependent display outputs. It uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Both cards support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD card launched on 2023-05-25 with a launch MSRP of 3,999 USD, while the NVIDIA part launched on 2025-02-28 and has no listed launch MSRP. The Radeon’s predecessor is the Radeon Pro Vega, and the NVIDIA part’s predecessor is the GeForce 40 Mobile.
