AMD Radeon RX 5300M vs NVIDIA TITAN RTX Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only directly comparable benchmark between the AMD Radeon RX 5300M and the NVIDIA TITAN RTX is Geekbench OpenCL. This is a clean, decisive result: the NVIDIA TITAN RTX scores 144,858 while the AMD Radeon RX 5300M scores 36,529. The delta is -74.8%, meaning the AMD part trails the NVIDIA flagship by nearly three quarters of its compute throughput in this workload. The TITAN RTX is the winner in this head-to-head matchup, with a single win recorded in the database.

To contextualize the AMD RX 5300M's score, it sits at the 80th percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X (36,530, a delta of 0%), the NVIDIA T1000 (36,289, delta of 0.7% faster than the RX 5300M), the AMD Radeon PRO W6400 (37,157, delta of -1.7% meaning the RX 5300M trails it by 1.7%), and the AMD Radeon Pro Duo (35,860, delta of 1.9% meaning the RX 5300M leads it by 1.9%). These deltas are all within two percent, indicating that the RX 5300M, despite being a mobile chip, lands in a tightly competitive bracket for OpenCL performance among mid-range workstation and older desktop cards. It is effectively on par with the GTX TITAN X from a much earlier generation, and slightly ahead of the T1000.

The NVIDIA TITAN RTX, meanwhile, holds a 76th percentile position across all GPUs, which is lower than the RX 5300M's 80th percentile. This is counterintuitive given its far higher raw score, but the percentile reflects the distribution of recorded benchmark scores, not just peak performance. The TITAN RTX's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (31,532, delta of 0.5% faster), the Intel Arc Pro A30M (31,894, delta of -0.7% meaning the TITAN RTX is faster by 0.7%), the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q (31,220, delta of 1.5%), and the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 (31,206, delta of 1.5%). These deltas are small, but they show the TITAN RTX's average score is about 0.5% to 1.5% above those competitors. It is notably the TITAN RTX's average benchmark score across all its tests is 31,676, while its OpenCL score is 144,858, indicating that the OpenCL result is an outlier on the high end relative to its overall average.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is substantial. The AMD Radeon RX 5300M uses the Navi 14 chip based on RDNA 1.0 architecture, built on a 7 nm TSMC process. It packs 6,400 million transistors into a die size of 158 mm², yielding a transistor density of 40.5M per mm². This is a modern, dense mobile design. The NVIDIA TITAN RTX uses the TU102 chip based on Turing architecture, built on a 12 nm process from the same foundry, TSMC. It houses 18,600 million transistors on a much larger die of 754 mm², with a lower transistor density of 24.7M per mm². The TITAN RTX is a huge, power-hungry desktop part, while the RX 5300M is a compact mobile chip.

The memory configurations diverge sharply. The RX 5300M offers 3 GB of GDDR6 on a 96-bit bus, resulting in 168.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The TITAN RTX offers 24 GB of GDDR6 on a 384-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s, exactly four times the bandwidth of the AMD part. Memory size is an eightfold difference. Both use GDDR6 memory at an effective 14 Gbps, so the bandwidth advantage comes purely from the wider bus.

Compute resources are where the NVIDIA part pulls far ahead. The RX 5300M has 1,408 shading units, 88 texture mapping units, and 32 ROPs. It has no dedicated ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. The TITAN RTX has 4,608 shading units, 288 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. It also includes 72 ray tracing cores and 576 tensor cores. These are hardware features completely absent from the AMD part.

The clock speeds are not directly comparable because the AMD part is a mobile chip: its base clock is 1000 MHz, boost 1445 MHz, and game clock 1181 MHz. The TITAN RTX runs at a base of 1350 MHz and boosts to 1770 MHz. The pixel rate tells the story: the RX 5300M reaches 46.24 GPixel/s, while the TITAN RTX hits 169.9 GPixel/s, a 3.67x difference. The texture rates are 127.2 GTexel/s versus 509.8 GTexel/s, a 4x difference. The FP32 throughput is 4.069 TFLOPS for the AMD card versus 16.31 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA card, a 4x difference. FP16 is 8.138 TFLOPS (2:1) for the RX 5300M versus 32.62 TFLOPS (2:1) for the TITAN RTX, again a 4x gap.

The TDP figures reflect their different form factors. The RX 5300M is rated at 85 W and has no power connectors, meaning it is a mobile chip drawing power from the motherboard. The TITAN RTX is rated at 280 W, requires 2x 8-pin power connectors, and has a 600 W suggested PSU. The TITAN RTX is a dual-slot card, 267 mm long, 116 mm tall, and 35 mm wide. The RX 5300M has no listed dimensions because it is a mobile part; its display outputs are listed as portable device dependent.

The API support also differs. The RX 5300M supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The TITAN RTX supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The 12_2 API level enables hardware ray tracing and mesh shaders, which the RX 5300M cannot access. The PCIe interface is PCIe 4.0 x8 for the AMD part versus PCIe 3.0 x16 for the NVIDIA part, though this is unlikely to change the performance gap.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The NVIDIA TITAN RTX is the performance king in the only head-to-head benchmark available, with a -74.8% delta in its favor. The absolute score difference is massive: 144,858 versus 36,529 in Geekbench OpenCL. If the task is compute-heavy, OpenCL workloads, the TITAN RTX is the obvious choice, delivering a roughly fourfold performance advantage.

However, the RX 5300M is not a bad part for its intended role. Its 80th percentile rank across all GPUs and its close parity with the GeForce GTX TITAN X (delta 0%) and T1000 (delta 0.7%) show that it handles OpenCL competently for a mobile chip. Its 7 nm process gives it a massive efficiency advantage: 85 W TDP versus 280 W, and 6.4 billion transistors on a 158 mm² die versus 18.6 billion on a 754 mm² die. The power connectors are none versus 2x 8-pin. The RX 5300M is end-of-life, as is the TITAN RTX, but the AMD part is a mobile chip, meaning it goes into laptops, not desktops.

For desktop users, the TITAN RTX is the only option, and its benchmark results confirm its high-end positioning. Its 76th percentile is lower than the RX 5300M's 80th, but that is due to the distribution of scores, not real-world capability. The TITAN RTX also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, which is a future-proofing advantage. The RX 5300M does not.

The launch MSRP of the TITAN RTX is 2,499 USD. That is a single factual data point, and no further pricing analysis is needed.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA TITAN RTX wins the only direct benchmark comparison (OpenCL) by a margin of 74.8%. It also wins on every raw compute metric: 4x the FP32 throughput (16.31 TFLOPS versus 4.069 TFLOPS), 4x the texture rate (509.8 GTexel/s versus 127.2 GTexel/s), 3.67x the pixel rate (169.9 GPixel/s versus 46.24 GPixel/s), and 4x the memory bandwidth (672.0 GB/s versus 168.0 GB/s). It has 8x the memory capacity (24 GB versus 3 GB), 3.27x the shading units (4,608 versus 1,408), and 3.27x the TMUs (288 versus 88). It also brings hardware ray tracing and tensor cores to the table. The TITAN RTX also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate, which is a higher feature level than the RX 5300M's DirectX 12 (12_1). For any workload measured in this database, the TITAN RTX is the clear winner.

The AMD Radeon RX 5300M wins in efficiency metrics. Its TDP of 85 W is a fraction of the 280 W TDP of the TITAN RTX. Its transistor density is 40.5M per mm² versus 24.7M per mm², showing a far more efficient use of silicon. It is a mobile chip, so it is intended for laptops, whereas the TITAN RTX is a dual-slot 267 mm desktop card. The RX 5300M also has a higher percentile rank in the database (80th versus 76th), though this does not translate to higher raw performance. In terms of its nearest rival deltas, the RX 5300M performs close to the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN X, which is a much older desktop card. If the use case is mobile, low-power computing, the RX 5300M is the only one of the two that can physically fit and run without additional power connectors. For any desktop compute workload requiring high throughput, the TITAN RTX is the only reasonable choice. The data shows a 4x gap in every major performance metric, and the only non-competition is the form factor and power envelope, where the RX 5300M wins by definition.
