AMD Radeon RX 5300M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only shared benchmark between these two GPUs in the database is Geekbench OpenCL, and the result is decisive. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti scores 119,718, while the AMD Radeon RX 5300M scores 36,529. That is a delta of -69.5% for the AMD part, meaning the NVIDIA card is over three times faster in this compute workload. The data shows a complete rout: the RTX 3070 Ti wins the single head-to-head comparison by a massive margin.

To contextualize the RX 5300M's score, the nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X at 36,530 (a 0% delta), the NVIDIA T1000 at 36,289 (0.7% ahead of the AMD part), the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 at 37,157 (1.7% behind the RX 5300M), and the AMD Radeon Pro Duo at 35,860 (1.9% behind). This places the RX 5300M in the mid-range desktop GPU tier, roughly on par with a GTX TITAN X from years earlier. The RTX 3070 Ti, by contrast, sits among much faster company: its nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Mobile at 29,928 (0.1% behind), the AMD Radeon RX 6800 at 30,095 (0.5% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti at 29,783 (0.5% behind), and the AMD Radeon RX 6700 at 30,433 (1.6% ahead). The RTX 3070 Ti's average benchmark score of 29,945 is over 80% higher than the RX 5300M's 36,529, which itself is the only benchmark score recorded for the AMD GPU.

The percentile rankings reinforce the gap. The RX 5300M holds an 80th percentile vs. all GPUs, while the RTX 3070 Ti sits at the 75th percentile. This is counterintuitive at first glance: the NVIDIA card is much faster in absolute terms yet ranked lower in percentile. The explanation is that the percentile field reflects the entire distribution of GPUs in the database, and the RTX 3070 Ti's score of 119,718 in OpenCL is an outlier relative to its average score of 29,945 across all tests, which includes lower DirectX and Passmark scores. The RX 5300M, having only one benchmark result, is ranked relative to that single data point. Regardless, the head-to-head winner is unambiguous.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different design generations. The AMD Radeon RX 5300M uses the Navi 14 chip built on RDNA 1.0 architecture, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It packs 6,400 million transistors into a 158 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 40.5 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti uses the GA104 chip on Ampere architecture, built on an 8 nm process at Samsung. It contains 17,400 million transistors across a 392 mm² die, for a density of 44.4 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA chip is nearly 2.7x larger in die area and holds over 2.7x more transistors, though the density advantage is modest at 9.6% higher.

The compute resources differ by a factor of over four. The RX 5300M has 1,408 shading units, 88 texture mapping units, and 32 raster output units. The RTX 3070 Ti has 6,144 shading units, 192 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. That is 4.4x more shaders, 2.2x more TMUs, and 3x more ROPs for the NVIDIA part. The RTX 3070 Ti also includes 48 RT cores for ray tracing and 192 tensor cores for AI acceleration, neither of which exist on the RX 5300M. These are hardware blocks that the AMD GPU simply does not have, limiting its feature set in modern workloads that rely on ray tracing or tensor-based upscaling.

Clock behavior also differs. The RX 5300M has a base clock of 1000 MHz, a boost clock of 1445 MHz, and a game clock of 1181 MHz. The RTX 3070 Ti runs at 1575 MHz base and 1770 MHz boost, with no game clock listed. The NVIDIA part's higher base and boost clocks, combined with far more compute units, produce enormous throughput differences: the RTX 3070 Ti reaches 21.75 TFLOPS FP32 and 21.75 TFLOPS FP16 (at 1:1 ratio), while the RX 5300M manages 4.069 TFLOPS FP32 and 8.138 TFLOPS FP16 (at 2:1 ratio). The NVIDIA card is 5.3x faster in FP32 and 2.7x faster in FP16.

Memory architecture is another major divergence. The RX 5300M uses 3 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus, delivering 168.0 GB/s bandwidth. The RTX 3070 Ti uses 8 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, delivering 608.3 GB/s. That is 3.6x more bandwidth, which matters greatly for high-resolution textures and compute workloads. The RX 5300M's memory runs at 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective), while the RTX 3070 Ti's runs at 1188 MHz (19 Gbps effective). The RTX 3070 Ti also supports PCIe 4.0 x16, whereas the RX 5300M only uses PCIe 4.0 x8, halving the bus throughput for data transfers.

Where Each One Wins

Based on the recorded data, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti wins in virtually every measurable category. In the sole head-to-head benchmark, OpenCL compute, it is 69.5% ahead of the RX 5300M. The architecture differences also give it clear wins in ray tracing (48 RT cores vs. none), tensor operations (192 tensor cores vs. none), memory bandwidth (608.3 GB/s vs. 168.0 GB/s), and raw shading throughput (21.75 TFLOPS vs. 4.069 TFLOPS). The RTX 3070 Ti also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), whereas the RX 5300M only supports DirectX 12 (12_1), meaning the NVIDIA card can run features like mesh shaders and variable-rate shading that the AMD part cannot.

The RX 5300M has no wins in the head-to-head data. However, it does hold advantages in certain specification areas that matter for specific use cases. It is built on a smaller 7 nm process, which typically indicates better power efficiency per transistor, and its TDP is just 85 W compared to 290 W for the RTX 3070 Ti. That is a 70.7% lower power draw for the AMD part. The RX 5300M is also a portable-device-dependent display output, meaning it is designed for laptops where space and cooling are constrained, while the RTX 3070 Ti is a dual-slot desktop card measuring 267 mm in length and 112 mm in height, requiring a 600 W suggested PSU and a 12-pin power connector. The RX 5300M requires no external power connectors at all.

For users running lightweight workloads on battery-powered systems, the RX 5300M is the only practical choice between these two, given the RTX 3070 Ti's power demands and physical size. For any compute, gaming, or content-creation task that stresses the GPU, the RTX 3070 Ti is categorically superior. The database shows the RX 5300M competing with desktop GPUs from the GTX TITAN X era, while the RTX 3070 Ti trades blows with the RX 6800 and RTX 2080 Ti, both of which are far beyond the RX 5300M's reach.
