AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data separates these two cards into entirely different performance classes. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti wins both recorded head-to-head tests, and the margin is decisive. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 5070 Ti scores 212363 against 69774 for the AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200, a difference of 67.1 percent in favor of the NVIDIA part. In Geekbench Vulkan, the gap widens further: 225122 versus 69076, a 69.3 percent advantage. The AMD card records zero wins in shared tests.

The AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 belongs to a different era of workstation graphics. Its average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 69870, placing it in the 90th percentile of all GPUs in the database. That percentile ranking is misleading in context, however, because the card's nearest rivals are all within a narrow band. The NVIDIA Quadro P6000 averages 69986, just 0.2 percent ahead. The NVIDIA RTX A3000 Mobile averages 70140, 0.4 percent ahead. The AMD Radeon RX 6600 LE averages 70829, 1.4 percent ahead. Only the NVIDIA CMP 90HX trails, at 69000, which puts the WX 8200 1.3 percent ahead. The WX 8200 is competitive with its contemporaries, but those contemporaries are not in the same league as the RTX 5070 Ti.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, by contrast, sits at the 86th percentile of all GPUs despite a much higher absolute average score of 49957. Its nearest rivals are intriguing: the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64 averages 50001, a 0.1 percent difference, and the Intel Arc A550M averages 49737, 0.4 percent behind. The AMD Radeon RX 6900 XT averages 50951, 2 percent ahead, while the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT averages 48477, 3.1 percent behind. These comparisons suggest that the RTX 5070 Ti's average score is dragged down by a mix of legacy DirectX tests and compute workloads, even though its modern API performance is extremely high.

For use-case selection: the RTX 5070 Ti is the clear choice for any workload that stresses OpenCL or Vulkan compute and rendering. The WX 8200 remains relevant only in legacy workstation contexts where its GCN architecture and driver ecosystem are already embedded, and where the workload does not demand the newer feature set.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different foundries, different process nodes, and different architectural lineages. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 8200 uses the Vega 10 chip, built on GCN 5.0 architecture, produced on a 14 nm process at GlobalFoundries. The die measures 495 mm² and packs 12,500 million transistors, yielding a transistor density of 25.3 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti uses the GB203 chip, built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, produced on a 5 nm process at TSMC. Its die is smaller at 378 mm² but packs far more transistors: 45,600 million, for a density of 120.6 million per square millimeter. The density difference is a 3.8 times improvement in transistor packing, which explains how the newer card fits more compute resources into a smaller physical footprint.

The compute pipelines diverge sharply. The WX 8200 has 3584 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 64 render output units. The RTX 5070 Ti has 8960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. The NVIDIA card also includes 70 ray tracing cores and 280 tensor cores, while the AMD card has neither, reflecting its pre- ray tracing design. The RTX 5070 Ti's pixel rate is 235.4 GPixel/s versus 96.00 GPixel/s for the WX 8200. Texture rate is 686.6 GTexel/s versus 336.0 GTexel/s. Floating point throughput follows the same trajectory: the RTX 5070 Ti delivers 43.94 TFLOPS FP32, while the WX 8200 delivers 10.75 TFLOPS.

Memory architecture is another fundamental divide. The WX 8200 uses 8 GB of HBM2 on a 2048-bit bus, achieving 512.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Ti uses 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, achieving 896.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA card has twice the capacity and 75 percent more bandwidth despite a bus width one-eighth the size, a result of the much faster memory signaling. Memory clock rates reflect this: 1000 MHz with 2 Gbps effective on the AMD card, versus 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective on the NVIDIA card.

The API support also differs. The WX 8200 supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.3. The RTX 5070 Ti supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The NVIDIA card is also rated for a higher power envelope, 300 W versus 230 W, and requires a 700 W suggested power supply versus 550 W.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only two shared benchmark tests in the database are Geekbench OpenCL and Geekbench Vulkan, and both produce lopsided results.

In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 5070 Ti scores 212363. The WX 8200 scores 69774. The delta is 67.1 percent in favor of NVIDIA. This is not a marginal win; the newer card is roughly three times faster in raw compute throughput. The result aligns with the FP32 specification delta, where the RTX 5070 Ti's 43.94 TFLOPS is 4.1 times the WX 8200's 10.75 TFLOPS, though OpenCL performance does not scale perfectly with theoretical peak.

In Geekbench Vulkan, the RTX 5070 Ti scores 225122, while the WX 8200 scores 69076. The delta is 69.3 percent. Vulkan is the more favorable test for the NVIDIA card, and the difference is consistent with the Vulkan API version gap: the RTX 5070 Ti supports Vulkan 1.4, while the WX 8200 is limited to Vulkan 1.3. The newer API version on the newer architecture allows better utilization of the available hardware.

The RTX 5070 Ti also has a broader benchmark footprint in the database. It records scores across 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, multiple Passmark DirectX tests, Passmark G2D, G3D, and GPU compute. The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score is 6604, the Passmark G3D score is 32974, and the GPU compute score is 20203. These additional data points are not available for the WX 8200, which only has Geekbench Metal, OpenCL, and Vulkan results. The absence of DirectX benchmarks for the AMD card limits direct comparison, but the available data is unambiguous: in every test where both cards appear, the NVIDIA GPU wins by a wide margin.
