AMD Radeon R5 M240 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

The Verdict

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is in a completely different performance class than the AMD Radeon R5 M240. The data shows no shared benchmark results, so direct score comparisons are impossible, but the architectural and specification gaps are so vast that the verdict is unambiguous. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a modern, active high-end desktop card designed for demanding workloads, while the R5 M240 is an end-of-life mobile-class chip from 2014 with a 39th percentile ranking versus all GPUs. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER sits at the 36th percentile, but that percentile is based on a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, a far more strenuous workload than the Geekbench OpenCL test recorded for the R5 M240. For anyone choosing between these two, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the only rational pick for gaming, rendering, or compute work. The R5 M240 should only be considered for legacy systems where its low power footprint and simple design are the priority, not performance. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a launch MSRP of 749 USD, and the data indicates it delivers over 66 times the texture rate, over 28 times the pixel rate, and 66 times the FP32 throughput of the R5 M240. That is not a contest; that is a generational chasm.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different eras and entirely different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon R5 M240 uses the Jet chip, built on GCN 1.0 architecture, fabricated on a 28 nm process at TSMC. It packs 690 million transistors into a 56 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 12.3 million per mm². The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip, based on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, also from TSMC but on a 5 nm node. It contains 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, achieving a density of 120.6 million per mm². That is nearly a 10-fold increase in transistor density. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8,960 shading units, 280 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units, versus 320 shading units, 20 TMUs, and 8 ROPs on the R5 M240. The RTX card also brings 70 dedicated ray tracing cores and 280 tensor cores, hardware that simply does not exist on the older AMD chip. The R5 M240 supports DirectX 12 (11_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.170, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The RTX card also uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 interface versus the R5 M240's PCIe 3.0 x8. In short, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a fully featured modern GPU with ray tracing, tensor cores, and a much newer API set, while the R5 M240 is a basic legacy part.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon R5 M240 and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The R5 M240 has a single recorded Geekbench OpenCL score of 6,975, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 6,269.5. These tests measure different things and cannot be compared numerically. However, the specification data provides a clear proxy for performance. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER delivers 686.6 GTexel/s of texture rate versus 20.60 GTexel/s on the R5 M240, a 33-fold advantage. Pixel rate is 235.4 GPixel/s versus 8.240 GPixel/s, a 28-fold advantage. FP32 compute is 43.94 TFLOPS versus 659.2 GFLOPS, a 66-fold advantage. The RTX card also has 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 256-bit bus delivering 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, while the R5 M240 has 1 GB of DDR3 on a 64-bit bus at 14.40 GB/s. That is a 62-fold bandwidth advantage. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER boosts to 2452 MHz versus the R5 M240's 1030 MHz boost clock. In every measurable specification, the NVIDIA card is orders of magnitude ahead. The nearest rivals for the R5 M240, such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 675M with a score of 6,946 and a delta of 0.4%, show that the R5 M240 is competitive only with decade-old mobile parts. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's nearest rivals, like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 with a delta of 0%, are all modern desktop cards. The performance gap between these two products is not incremental; it is a matter of different computing eras.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins in every scenario that requires raw compute, high-resolution textures, or modern graphics features. Its 43.94 TFLOPS of FP32 compute and 43.94 TFLOPS of FP16 (1:1) make it suitable for heavy compute workloads, AI inference, and machine learning tasks thanks to its 280 tensor cores. The 70 ray tracing cores enable real-time ray tracing in supported games. The 16 GB of GDDR7 memory and 896.0 GB/s bandwidth are essential for 4K gaming, large texture packs, and professional 3D rendering. The dual-slot design, 1x 16-pin power connector, and 350 W TDP indicate it is meant for a full-size desktop with adequate power delivery. The PCIe 5.0 x16 interface ensures no bottleneck with modern CPUs. The display outputs, including 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b, support high refresh rate and high resolution monitors.

The AMD Radeon R5 M240 wins only in scenarios where power draw and physical size matter most, though the database does not list a TDP for it. Its 28 nm process and simple DDR3 memory interface suggest a low power part suitable for thin and light laptops or compact desktops from its era. The PCIe 3.0 x8 interface is sufficient for its bandwidth needs. With only 1 GB of memory and a 64-bit bus, it cannot handle modern games, but it is adequate for basic desktop acceleration, video playback, and legacy applications. Its nearest rivals, all scoring within 2.1% of its Geekbench OpenCL result, are other mobile and workstation parts from roughly the same period. The R5 M240 is a card for legacy systems, not for anyone building or upgrading a current machine.
