AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT vs NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data presents a strikingly one-sided comparison. Across the single shared test in the database, the Geekbench Vulkan result, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT wins decisively. The AMD card records a score of 98089, while the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q manages 31220. That translates to a delta of -68.2% for the NVIDIA part, meaning the AMD card is roughly 3.1 times faster in this specific workload.

The NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q does not win any of the recorded head-to-head benchmarks. Its single benchmark entry, the Geekbench Vulkan score of 31220, places it at the 76th percentile among all GPUs in the database. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT, by contrast, sits at the 71st percentile. This is a curious situation: the AMD card is clearly faster in the direct comparison, yet its overall percentile ranking is slightly lower. That discrepancy arises because the percentile is computed from the average benchmark score across multiple tests, and the AMD part has a much wider test suite.

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT also holds a commanding lead in raw compute metrics recorded in the database. Its FP32 throughput is listed at 13.31 TFLOPS versus 4.825 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA part. The pixel rate is 166.4 GPixel/s versus 75.39 GPixel/s, and the texture rate is 416.0 GTexel/s versus 150.8 GTexel/s. The AMD card also has more shading units (2560 versus 2048) and more texture mapping units (160 versus 128), while both have 64 ROPs.

The memory subsystem favors AMD as well. The RX 6750 XT has 12 GB of GDDR6 memory with a 192-bit bus and bandwidth of 432.0 GB/s. The GRID M60-1Q has only 1024 MB (1 GB) of GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit bus, yielding 160.4 GB/s. The AMD card’s memory clock runs at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective, while the NVIDIA part runs at 1253 MHz with 5 Gbps effective.

In terms of use-case split, the data suggests the AMD card is the clear choice for any workload that leverages Vulkan, and by extension, modern graphics APIs. The NVIDIA part, being a GRID product with no display outputs, appears oriented toward virtualized or datacenter scenarios rather than direct rendering. Its architecture and feature set point toward server-side GPU virtualization, not consumer gaming or workstation rendering.

The Verdict

From the recorded measurements, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the superior GPU for any task that involves direct graphics or compute performance. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 98089 versus 31220 is not a marginal difference; it is a dominant, order-of-magnitude separation. Anyone choosing between these two for a conventional workload should select the AMD card without hesitation.

The NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q, however, occupies a niche that the benchmark suite does not fully capture. Its dual-slot form factor, 1x 8-pin power connector, and lack of display outputs indicate a server-oriented product. The database shows it as end-of-life, released in 2015, with a Maxwell 2.0 architecture on a 28 nm process. Its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA Quadro M5000 (avg score 31206, delta 0%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER (avg score 31087, delta 0.4%), and the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4500 Blackwell (avg score 31532, delta -1%). These are all within a narrow performance band, suggesting the GRID M60-1Q is competitive within its own generation and class.

The AMD part’s nearest rivals tell a different story: the AMD Radeon R9 M395X (avg score 25891, delta 0.5%), the AMD FirePro W7100 (avg score 25856, delta 0.6%), and the AMD FirePro D700 (avg score 25842, delta 0.7%). The RX 6750 XT’s average benchmark score of 26011 is only slightly above these, which explains its 71st percentile ranking despite its much higher Vulkan score.

For a user needing a GPU for gaming, rendering, or compute on a standard PC, the RX 6750 XT is the only rational choice. For a datacenter administrator needing a virtualized GPU with no physical display output, the GRID M60-1Q might still serve a purpose, but the performance gap is so large that even then, the AMD card would likely outperform it in most compute tasks.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records exactly one head-to-head benchmark between these two products: Geekbench Vulkan. In that test, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT scores 98089, and the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q scores 31220. The delta is -68.2%, meaning the NVIDIA card is 68.2% slower than the AMD card in this workload. In practical terms, the AMD card is more than three times faster.

Breaking down what that score implies: Vulkan is a low-level graphics API that stresses both the GPU’s shading units and its memory subsystem. The RX 6750 XT’s 2560 shading units at a boost clock of 2600 MHz, combined with 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth, clearly scales better than the GRID M60-1Q’s 2048 shading units at a boost of 1178 MHz with 160.4 GB/s. The clock speed difference alone is substantial: 2600 MHz versus 1178 MHz, a factor of more than two.

The FP32 compute figures reinforce this. The RX 6750 XT lists 13.31 TFLOPS, while the GRID M60-1Q lists 4.825 TFLOPS. That is a 2.76x advantage for AMD. The texture rate difference is even larger: 416.0 GTexel/s versus 150.8 GTexel/s, a 2.76x gap as well. The pixel rate shows 166.4 GPixel/s versus 75.39 GPixel/s, a 2.2x gap.

Memory capacity further separates them: 12 GB versus 1 GB. A 12 GB frame buffer can hold far larger textures and datasets, which is critical for modern games and compute workloads. The bus width difference (192-bit versus 256-bit) is partially offset by the much higher effective memory speed (18 Gbps versus 5 Gbps), yielding the bandwidth advantage for AMD.

The other benchmark entries for the RX 6750 XT offer context, even if they are not head-to-head with the NVIDIA part. Its Geekbench Metal score is 137249, its Geekbench OpenCL score is 16360, and its Passmark G3D score is 20700. These are all strong numbers for a mid-range consumer GPU, confirming that the Vulkan result is not an outlier.

Architecture Differences

The architectural divide between these two GPUs is generational and fundamental. The NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q is built on the Maxwell 2.0 architecture with the GM204 chip, fabricated on a 28 nm process at TSMC. It contains 5,200 million transistors on a die size of 398 mm², yielding a transistor density of 13.1 million per mm². This is a mature, power-efficient design from 2015, oriented toward virtualized GPU workloads.

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT uses the RDNA 2.0 architecture with the Navi 22 chip, on a 7 nm process also at TSMC. It packs 17,200 million transistors into a 335 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 51.3 million per mm². That is nearly four times the density of the NVIDIA part, reflecting the seven years of process advancement between their release dates.

The NVIDIA part has no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores listed in the database. The AMD part has 40 ray tracing cores, though tensor cores are absent for both. This means the RX 6750 XT supports hardware-accelerated ray tracing, while the GRID M60-1Q does not. The DirectX support reflects this: the AMD card supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the NVIDIA card supports only DirectX 12 (12_1). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

The FP16 capability also differs. The RX 6750 XT lists FP16 performance at 26.62 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio), while the GRID M60-1Q lists no FP16 figure. This indicates the AMD card can process half-precision data at twice the rate of FP32, which is valuable for AI inference and certain compute workloads.

The memory architectures are distinct as well. The GRID M60-1Q uses GDDR5 with a 256-bit bus, while the RX 6750 XT uses GDDR6 with a 192-bit bus. The newer memory type and higher clock speed give AMD the bandwidth advantage despite the narrower bus.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification field recorded in the database. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is a consumer gaming card from the Radeon RX 6000 series, while the NVIDIA GRID M60-1Q is a virtualized datacenter GPU from the GRID (Mx) generation.
