AMD Radeon RX 6700M vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data tells a remarkably one-sided story. Across every single test in the comparison set, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell takes the win, and in most cases it does so by a significant margin. The closest contest is in Passmark DirectX 12, where the RTX PRO 2000 leads by 18.7% (65 vs 80 points). That is the narrowest gap of the ten tests. The widest gap appears in Passmark G2D, a 2D graphics test, where the RTX PRO 2000 more than doubles the AMD Radeon RX 6700M's score, coming in at 1303 versus 555, a 57.4% advantage.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result, which is often a good indicator of modern gaming and DXR workload performance, shows the RTX PRO 2000 at 2374.5 points against the RX 6700M's 1845, a 22.3% lead. This is a substantial gap for a single-generation comparison. The Vulkan compute result follows the same pattern: 113865 for the RTX PRO 2000 versus 90816 for the AMD part, a 20.2% delta. OpenCL shows an even larger 26.8% gap (106087 vs 77666).

The Passmark suite is where the NVIDIA card really pulls away. In DirectX 9, the RTX PRO 2000 scores 241 versus 155, a 35.7% advantage. DirectX 10 shows a 24.6% gap (122 vs 92), and DirectX 11 a 25.9% gap (174 vs 129). The G3D test, a broad 3D graphics benchmark, shows a 32.5% lead for NVIDIA (20049 vs 13536). The GPU compute test, which stresses general-purpose processing, is also heavily NVIDIA-favored: 8396 versus 5191, a 38.2% margin.

The overall average benchmark score for the RX 6700M is 25633, while the RTX PRO 2000 sits at 25269. This is a curious data point. The averages are extremely close, with the AMD part actually holding a 1.4% higher average score. However, this is misleading. The RX 6700M's average is buoyed by its Geekbench scores, which the head-to-head table does not include for the NVIDIA part (the RTX PRO 2000 lacks a Geekbench Metal score). Looking strictly at the ten tests where both parts have results, the RTX PRO 2000 is the clear winner in every single one. The deltaPct values in the rival lists confirm this: the RX 6700M's nearest rival list includes the RTX PRO 2000 at a -1.4% delta, meaning the AMD card's average is slightly higher. But the direct comparison table is unambiguous.

Where Each One Wins

Given the data, there is no test category where the AMD Radeon RX 6700M wins. It has zero wins out of ten head-to-head benchmarks. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell wins all ten. This means that in every workload represented by these tests—from legacy DirectX 9 titles to modern DirectX 12 Ultimate workloads, from Vulkan compute to OpenCL, and from 2D desktop rendering to GPU compute—the RTX PRO 2000 is faster.

The closest margins for the AMD part are in DirectX 12 (18.7% gap) and Vulkan (20.2% gap). These are the modern API tests. The largest gaps are in 2D performance (57.4%) and DirectX 9 (35.7%). The takeaway is that the NVIDIA card is not just faster in modern workloads; it has an even larger advantage in legacy and 2D scenarios. For a user whose primary concern is the latest DX12 or Vulkan titles, the gap is smaller but still decisively in NVIDIA's favor. For anyone running older software or doing any 2D-heavy work, the RTX PRO 2000 is in a different class entirely.

The Passmark G3D score of 20049 versus 13536 suggests the RTX PRO 2000 handles rasterization-heavy 3D scenes significantly better. The GPU compute score of 8396 versus 5191 indicates a strong lead in compute tasks like rendering, physics simulation, or data processing. The RTX PRO 2000 is the winner in every use case that can be derived from this dataset. There is no scenario where the data suggests picking the AMD part for performance reasons.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 6700M is built on the RDNA 2.0 architecture, using the Navi 22 chip, and is fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC. It packs 17,200 million transistors into a large 335 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 51.3 million per square millimeter. This is a mature, high-power mobile design from the RX 6000 series.

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell uses the GB206 chip, built on the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, and is manufactured on a more advanced 5 nm process, also at TSMC. It crams 21,900 million transistors into a much smaller 181 mm² die. The transistor density is 121.0 million per square millimeter, which is more than double the AMD part's density. This is a key architectural difference: NVIDIA has moved to a denser, more power-efficient process node.

The compute architectures differ fundamentally. The AMD card has 2304 shading units, 144 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 36 ray tracing cores. It does not have tensor cores. The NVIDIA card has 4352 shading units, 136 TMUs, 48 ROPs, 34 RT cores, and 136 tensor cores. The higher shading unit count on NVIDIA is notable, but its TMU and ROP counts are slightly lower than AMD's. The presence of 136 tensor cores on the NVIDIA part is a significant feature difference, indicating support for AI-accelerated workloads that the AMD card lacks entirely.

The FP32 performance figures reflect the architectural split. The RX 6700M delivers 11.06 TFLOPS FP32 and 22.12 TFLOPS FP16 (at 2:1 rate). The RTX PRO 2000 delivers 17.03 TFLOPS FP32 and 17.03 TFLOPS FP16 (at 1:1 rate). This is a notable difference: NVIDIA's FP16 performance is not a doubled rate as on AMD; it is the same as FP32. The NVIDIA card has a 54% higher FP32 throughput but its FP16 is lower than AMD's peak FP16, though the 1:1 rate means sustained FP16 workloads don't lose performance on NVIDIA.

Specification Differences

The most obvious specification differences are in memory and power. The RX 6700M has 10 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 160-bit bus, yielding a bandwidth of 320.0 GB/s. The RTX PRO 2000 has 16 GB of GDDR7 memory on a narrower 128-bit bus, resulting in a slightly lower bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. So the AMD card has a 32 GB/s bandwidth advantage, but the NVIDIA card has a 6 GB capacity advantage. The memory type differs (GDDR6 vs GDDR7).

Clock speeds also differ significantly. The RX 6700M has a base clock of 1489 MHz and a boost clock of 2400 MHz, with a game clock of 2300 MHz. The RTX PRO 2000 has a much lower base clock of 982 MHz and a boost clock of 1957 MHz. Despite the lower clocks, the NVIDIA part wins all benchmarks, which highlights the architectural efficiency of Blackwell.

The power envelope is a major differentiator. The RX 6700M has a TDP of 135 W and is an IGP (integrated graphics package) with no power connectors, meaning it is designed for mobile integration. The RTX PRO 2000 has a TDP of 70 W, is a dual-slot card, has no power connectors (likely drawing from the PCIe slot), and has a suggested PSU of 250 W. The RTX PRO 2000 is a desktop workstation card with physical dimensions of 167 mm length, 69 mm height, and 20 mm width. The RX 6700M has a bus interface of PCIe 4.0 x16, while the RTX PRO 2000 uses PCIe 5.0 x8.

The display outputs differ: the RX 6700M is "Portable Device Dependent" (meaning outputs vary by laptop), while the RTX PRO 2000 has 4x mini-DisplayPort 2.1b. The production statuses are also different: the AMD part is end-of-life (released in May 2021), while the NVIDIA part is active (released in August 2025).

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell is faster than the AMD Radeon RX 6700M in every single benchmark test recorded. Its performance advantage ranges from 18.7% in DirectX 12 to 57.4% in 2D tests, with the average gap across all tests being around 30%. The RTX PRO 2000 achieves this with a 70 W TDP, which is nearly half the 135 W TDP of the RX 6700M. It also offers 16 GB of memory versus 10 GB, and includes tensor cores for AI workloads that the AMD part cannot handle.

The RX 6700M's only statistical advantage is its higher aggregate average score (25633 vs 25269), which is due to its strong Geekbench results that are not present in the head-to-head table. But that is a statistical artifact, not a performance claim. In any direct comparison where both cards have results, the NVIDIA card wins.

The recommendation is straightforward. If you are choosing between these two based on performance, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell is the pick. It is faster in every measurable way in this dataset, draws less power, has more memory, and is a current, active product. The AMD RX 6700M is an end-of-life mobile part from 2021. The only reason to consider the RX 6700M is if you are constrained to a laptop form factor (it is an IGP) and cannot use a desktop dual-slot card. But on pure performance data, the RTX PRO 2000 is the clear winner. It is not a close contest.
