AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell Comparison

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT and NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell represent two distinct approaches to GPU design, separated by process technology, architecture generation, and intended workload. The data shows the AMD card, a 2022 RDNA 2.0 part, takes 7 of 10 head-to-head benchmark wins, while the NVIDIA card, a 2025 Blackwell 2.0 professional part, dominates in raw compute and API-specific tests. Their average benchmark scores sit close—26011 for the RX 6750 XT versus 25269 for the RTX PRO 2000—but the distribution of those scores tells a more nuanced story about where each card excels.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The largest single victory belongs to NVIDIA in the Geekbench OpenCL test. The RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell scores 106087 against the RX 6750 XT’s 16360, a staggering 84.6% advantage. This is not a marginal lead; it is a categorical difference in raw parallel compute throughput, reflecting the NVIDIA card’s 4352 shading units and 136 tensor cores against AMD’s 2560 shading units and 40 ray tracing cores. For compute-heavy professional workloads, this result alone positions the Blackwell card as the clear choice.

NVIDIA also wins the Geekbench Vulkan test, scoring 113865 versus 98089, a 13.9% margin. This is notable because Vulkan is a cross-platform graphics API, and the result suggests the Blackwell architecture handles modern, low-overhead rendering more efficiently than the RDNA 2.0 part. The passmark_g2d test also goes to NVIDIA, with 1303 versus 972, a 25.4% delta, indicating superior 2D desktop and interface rendering performance.

AMD’s wins are more numerous but generally smaller in magnitude. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the RX 6750 XT scores 2548 against 2374.5, a 7.3% lead. This is a modern DirectX 12 workload, and the AMD card’s higher pixel rate (166.4 GPixel/s versus 93.94 GPixel/s) and texture rate (416.0 GTexel/s versus 266.2 GTexel/s) likely drive this result. The passmark_g3d test shows a narrower 3.2% win (20700 vs 20049), and passmark_gpu_compute gives AMD a 13.7% edge (9550 vs 8396), which is interesting given NVIDIA’s OpenCL dominance—the two tests clearly measure different aspects of compute performance.

In legacy DirectX tests, AMD is consistently ahead: passmark_directx_9 shows a 9.1% win (263 vs 241), passmark_directx_11 a 3.4% win (180 vs 174), and passmark_directx_10 a 2.5% win (125 vs 122). The passmark_directx_12 test is an exact tie at 80 points each. These results suggest the RX 6750 XT has stronger backward compatibility and driver optimization for older APIs, while the RTX PRO 2000’s architecture may prioritize newer compute paths over legacy rasterization.

The overall win tally of 7-3 in AMD’s favor is misleading if read as overall superiority. The average benchmark scores are close—26011 vs 25269—placing both cards within 1.1% of each other in aggregate. The RTX PRO 2000’s percentile rank of 70 against all GPUs is just one point below the RX 6750 XT’s 71. The real story is specialization: AMD leads in rasterization and legacy API workloads, while NVIDIA leads decisively in modern compute APIs and 2D performance.

Architecture Differences

The two cards are built on fundamentally different process nodes and architectures. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT uses the Navi 22 chip on TSMC’s 7 nm process, containing 17,200 million transistors on a 335 mm² die. This yields a transistor density of 51.3 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell uses the GB206 chip on TSMC’s 5 nm process, packing 21,900 million transistors into a much smaller 181 mm² die, achieving a density of 121.0 million per square millimeter. The higher density and newer node give NVIDIA a transistor count that is 27% higher despite the die being 46% smaller.

Clock speeds tell a contrasting story. The AMD card runs at a 2150 MHz base and 2600 MHz boost, with a game clock of 2495 MHz. The NVIDIA card has a much lower 982 MHz base clock but boosts to 1957 MHz. Memory clocks also differ: AMD runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while NVIDIA runs at 1125 MHz (18 Gbps effective). Despite the lower core clocks, NVIDIA’s higher shading unit count (4352 vs 2560) lets it achieve 17.03 TFLOPS FP32 versus AMD’s 13.31 TFLOPS.

The compute feature sets diverge sharply. NVIDIA includes 136 tensor cores, while the AMD card has none listed. AMD has 40 ray tracing cores to NVIDIA’s 34, but NVIDIA’s FP16 performance matches its FP32 at 17.03 TFLOPS (1:1), while AMD’s FP16 is 26.62 TFLOPS (2:1). Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, but the underlying hardware paths are clearly different.

Memory architecture favors AMD in raw bandwidth. The RX 6750 XT has 12 GB of GDDR6 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 432.0 GB/s. The RTX PRO 2000 has 16 GB of GDDR7 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA card’s advantage is capacity—33% more memory—while AMD’s advantage is throughput—50% more bandwidth. This tradeoff directly impacts workload suitability.

Power and physical design are also starkly different. The AMD card has a 250 W TDP, requires a 600 W suggested PSU, and uses 1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin power connectors. The NVIDIA card has a 70 W TDP, a 250 W suggested PSU, and requires no power connectors. The NVIDIA card is also significantly smaller: 167 mm long, 69 mm high, and 20 mm wide, versus AMD’s 267 mm by 110 mm by 40 mm. Both are dual-slot cards, but NVIDIA’s is less than two-thirds the length and less than half the width.

The Verdict

The data points to two distinct buyer profiles. For legacy DirectX gaming and rasterization-focused workloads, the AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT is the stronger choice. It wins 7 of 10 head-to-head tests, including all passmark DirectX 9/10/11 tests, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, and passmark_g3d. Its 432.0 GB/s memory bandwidth and 166.4 GPixel/s pixel rate give it an edge in traditional rendering paths. The 13.7% lead in passmark_gpu_compute also suggests it handles general-purpose GPU tasks well, despite losing the OpenCL test by a wide margin.

For modern compute-heavy professional workloads, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell is the clear pick. Its 84.6% OpenCL advantage and 13.9% Vulkan lead indicate that any task leveraging these APIs will see dramatic gains. The 136 tensor cores and 17.03 TFLOPS FP16 (1:1) performance make it suited for AI and machine learning inference tasks that the AMD card cannot accelerate. The 16 GB GDDR7 memory capacity also provides more headroom for large datasets, even at lower bandwidth.

The power envelope is decisive for certain use cases. The RTX PRO 2000’s 70 W TDP with no external power connectors allows installation in systems where the RX 6750 XT’s 250 W TDP and 6-pin plus 8-pin connectors would be impossible. The smaller physical footprint (167 mm vs 267 mm length) further broadens compatibility. For AI workstations, compact professional systems, or any deployment where power and space are constrained, the NVIDIA card is the only viable option.

Both cards rank within one percentile point of each other globally (71st vs 70th), and their average benchmark scores are within 2.9%. The choice is not about which is “better” in aggregate, but which aligns with the specific software stack and physical constraints of the deployment. The AMD card is an end-of-life product, while the NVIDIA card is active and newer, which may matter for long-term driver support and availability.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ in nearly every measurable specification.
