AMD Radeon RX 5300M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Comparison

# NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti vs AMD Radeon RX 5300M

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and AMD Radeon RX 5300M occupy completely different tiers of the graphics stack, one being a desktop enthusiast card and the other a mobile entry-level part. The benchmark data confirms a massive performance gap, with the RTX 4070 Ti delivering 384.4% higher OpenCL scores than the RX 5300M. This comparison is less about choosing between equals and more about understanding how far apart these two architectures are in capability, power, and purpose.

Where Each One Wins

The RTX 4070 Ti wins in every recorded benchmark category. The database shows a single head-to-head test, Geekbench OpenCL, where the NVIDIA card scores 176,953 against the AMD card's 36,529. That represents a 384.4% advantage, meaning the RTX 4070 Ti delivers nearly five times the raw compute throughput in this workload.

Looking at the broader benchmark suite, the RTX 4070 Ti posts an average score of 44,795 across all tests, placing it in the 84th percentile of all GPUs. Its nearest rivals include the RTX 5090 Mobile (0.8% behind), the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT (1.3% behind), and the Intel Arc A730M (1.7% behind), showing it sits in a tightly contested performance cluster. The RX 5300M, by contrast, averages 36,529 and sits in the 80th percentile, with its nearest rival being the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X at a 0% delta, essentially identical performance.

The RX 5300M does not win any recorded benchmark category. Its strength lies elsewhere: it is a mobile part with an 85 W TDP, designed for thin-and-light laptops where power efficiency matters more than raw frame rates. The RTX 4070 Ti, with a 285 W TDP, is a desktop card that demands a 600 W power supply and a dual-slot cooler. The AMD card has no power connector requirement, making it a drop-in solution for portable devices, while the NVIDIA card requires a 16-pin connector.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations with different design philosophies. The RTX 4070 Ti uses the AD104 chip built on Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It packs 35,800 million transistors into a 294 mm² die, achieving a transistor density of 121.8 million per square millimeter. The RX 5300M uses the Navi 14 chip on RDNA 1.0 architecture, built on TSMC's 7 nm process. It contains 6,400 million transistors on a 158 mm² die, with a density of 40.5 million per square millimeter.

The compute resources differ enormously. The RTX 4070 Ti has 7,680 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, 80 raster operation units, 60 ray tracing cores, and 240 tensor cores. The RX 5300M has 1,408 shading units, 88 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. This means the NVIDIA card supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing and AI features that the AMD card simply cannot accelerate.

Clock speeds tell another story. The RTX 4070 Ti runs at a 2310 MHz base clock and 2610 MHz boost, while the RX 5300M runs at 1000 MHz base, 1181 MHz game clock, and 1445 MHz boost. The NVIDIA card also has much higher memory bandwidth: 504.2 GB/s from 12 GB of GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus, versus 168.0 GB/s from 3 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus. The memory clock on the RTX 4070 Ti is 1313 MHz with 21 Gbps effective speed, while the RX 5300M runs at 1750 MHz with 14 Gbps effective.

API support differs as well. The RTX 4070 Ti supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4, while the RX 5300M supports DirectX 12 (12_1) and Vulkan 1.4. Both support OpenGL 4.6. The feature level gap means certain modern DirectX 12 Ultimate features are unavailable on the AMD card.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ in nearly every measurable specification. The RTX 4070 Ti uses a 5 nm process with 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die, while the RX 5300M uses a 7 nm process with 6,400 million transistors on a 158 mm² die. Shading units number 7,680 versus 1,408, TMUs 240 versus 88, and ROPs 80 versus 32. The NVIDIA card has 60 RT cores and 240 tensor cores; the AMD card has neither.

Memory configurations are radically different: 12 GB GDDR6X on a 192-bit bus versus 3 GB GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus. Bandwidth is 504.2 GB/s versus 168.0 GB/s. Clock speeds favor the NVIDIA card at 2310 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost, versus 1000 MHz base and 1445 MHz boost for AMD. The pixel rate is 208.8 GPixel/s versus 46.24 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 626.4 GTexel/s versus 127.2 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is 40.09 TFLOPS versus 4.069 TFLOPS.

Power requirements differ substantially: 285 W TDP with a 16-pin connector and 600 W suggested PSU versus 85 W TDP with no power connector and no suggested PSU. The RTX 4070 Ti uses a dual-slot cooler and measures 285 mm in length, while the RX 5300M has no listed dimensions and is portable-device dependent. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16 versus PCIe 4.0 x8. Display outputs are 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a on the NVIDIA card, while the AMD card's outputs are portable-device dependent.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains only one direct head-to-head benchmark between these two cards: Geekbench OpenCL. The RTX 4070 Ti scores 176,953, while the RX 5300M scores 36,529. The delta is 384.4% in favor of the NVIDIA card, the largest performance gap recorded in this comparison.

Beyond the direct comparison, the average benchmark scores reinforce the hierarchy. The RTX 4070 Ti averages 44,795 across all tests, while the RX 5300M averages 36,529. In the RTX 4070 Ti's individual benchmarks, the strongest results include a 31,624 Passmark G3D score, 21,3808 in Geekbench Vulkan, and 18,396 in Passmark GPU Compute. The weakest result is 116 in Passmark DirectX 12, though this appears to be a legacy or synthetic workload where the card's modern architecture does not translate to high scores.

The RX 5300M has only one recorded benchmark, the Geekbench OpenCL score of 36,529. This single data point places it in the 80th percentile of all GPUs, with its nearest rival being the GTX TITAN X at a 0% delta, meaning the two are statistically indistinguishable in this workload. The RTX 4070 Ti's 84th percentile ranking is only slightly higher, but its raw scores are dramatically better.

The Verdict

The RTX 4070 Ti is the clear performance winner, with 384.4% higher OpenCL scores, 4.7 times the FP32 compute, and 3 times the memory bandwidth. It supports ray tracing, tensor operations, and DirectX 12 Ultimate, features entirely absent from the RX 5300M. For anyone building a desktop system with a 600 W power supply and room for a dual-slot card, the RTX 4070 Ti is the only choice between these two.

The RX 5300M serves a different purpose entirely. Its 85 W TDP, lack of power connectors, and portable-device-dependent outputs make it a component for laptops or compact systems where power draw and physical space are constrained. Its 3 GB memory capacity and 96-bit bus limit it to lighter workloads, and its performance rivals the GTX TITAN X from a previous era.

The data does not present a competitive scenario. The RTX 4070 Ti is an enthusiast desktop GPU that was designed for high-resolution gaming and compute workloads. The RX 5300M is a mobile entry-level part that predates it by more than three years. The benchmark results show a single head-to-head test with a 384.4% gap, and the architecture comparison reveals fundamental differences in transistor count, die size, memory subsystem, and feature support. Pick the RTX 4070 Ti for performance, pick the RX 5300M only if the system demands a low-power mobile solution. There is no middle ground in this comparison.
