AMD Radeon RX 7600 vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a single overlapping benchmark between the AMD Radeon RX 7600 and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570: Geekbench OpenCL. This metric heavily favors the modern AMD card. The RX 7600 scores 88,051 points, while the GTX 570 scores 13,515 points. This translates to a 551.5% advantage for the RX 7600, a massive generational leap in raw compute throughput.

To contextualize the RX 7600's standing, the database places its average benchmark score at 15,171 points. That average is calculated across a wide suite of tests, including 3DMark Steel Nomad (DX12) at 2,310 points, Passmark G3D at 16,634 points, and Passmark GPU Compute at 8,790 points. The GTX 570's average score is identical to its single Geekbench OpenCL result, 13,515 points, since no other benchmarks are recorded for it.

The head-to-head record is one win for the RX 7600 and zero for the GTX 570. The RX 7600's percentile rank among all GPUs in the database is 57, while the GTX 570 sits at 54. This places both cards in the middle of the overall performance distribution, but the delta between them in the only shared test is enormous.

In other benchmark categories where the RX 7600 has data, it shows considerable strength. The Passmark DirectX 11 score of 172 and DirectX 9 score of 226 indicate solid legacy API performance. The Geekbench Vulkan score of 34,401 points further demonstrates its modern API capabilities. The GTX 570, by contrast, has no recorded Vulkan, DirectX, or 3DMark results in the database, limiting direct comparison to the OpenCL test alone.

The RX 7600's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM (average score 15,199, delta -0.2%), the AMD Radeon 680M (average score 15,270, delta -0.7%), the AMD Radeon Pro 560X (average score 15,082, delta 0.6%), and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti (average score 15,063, delta 0.7%). These deltas are all within 1%, indicating that the RX 7600's overall average places it in a tightly contested performance cluster.

For the GTX 570, its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon HD 7770M (average score 13,536, delta -0.2%), the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT (average score 13,543, delta -0.2%), the NVIDIA P106-090 (average score 13,470, delta 0.3%), and the AMD Radeon Pro 555 (average score 13,407, delta 0.8%). The RX 9070 XT's presence in this list is notable, as it suggests that the GTX 570's recorded OpenCL score aligns with that particular modern card's score, though this is an artifact of the limited data set.

FAQ

Q: What does the GTX 570's nearest rival list indicate?

A: The GTX 570's average score of 13,515 places it within 0.8% of several rivals, including the Radeon HD 7770M, the RX 9070 XT, the P106-090, and the Radeon Pro 555. This suggests its single recorded score is consistent with a mid-range performance tier, though the data set is sparse.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is substantial, reflecting more than a decade of semiconductor progress. The RX 7600 is built on TSMC's 6 nm process node, while the GTX 570 uses TSMC's 40 nm node. This process shrink allows the RX 7600 to pack 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². The GTX 570 contains 3,000 million transistors on a much larger 520 mm² die, with a density of just 5.8 million per mm².

The RX 7600 employs the RDNA 3.0 architecture, specifically the Navi 33 chip, with the codename "Hotpink Bonefish." It belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. The GTX 570 uses the Fermi 2.0 architecture, built around the GF110 chip, and belongs to the GeForce 500 generation. The RX 7600's predecessor is Navi II, and its successor is Navi IV. The GTX 570's predecessor is GeForce 400, and its successor is GeForce 600.

Core configurations differ dramatically. The RX 7600 has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The GTX 570 has 480 shading units, 60 TMUs, and 40 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores. The RX 7600's pixel rate is 169.9 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 339.8 GTexel/s. The GTX 570's pixel rate is 21.96 GPixel/s, and its texture rate is 43.92 GTexel/s.

Compute throughput shows the largest divergence. The RX 7600 delivers 21.75 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and an equal 21.75 TFLOPS of FP16 (1:1 ratio). The GTX 570 delivers 1,405.4 GFLOPS of FP32, with no FP16 data recorded. The RX 7600's clock speeds are 1,720 MHz base, 2,655 MHz boost, and 2,250 MHz game clock. The GTX 570 has no base, boost, or game clock data, only a memory clock of 950 MHz (3.8 Gbps effective).

API support also separates the two. The RX 7600 supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The GTX 570 supports DirectX 12 (11_0) and OpenGL 4.6, with no Vulkan support listed. The RX 7600's bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x8, while the GTX 570 uses PCIe 2.0 x16.

The Verdict

The data clearly favors the AMD Radeon RX 7600 in every measurable way. Its 551.5% lead in the only shared benchmark, Geekbench OpenCL, is decisive. The RX 7600 also holds a higher percentile rank (57 versus 54) and a higher average benchmark score (15,171 versus 13,515). For users seeking modern API support, ray tracing capabilities, and substantially higher compute throughput, the RX 7600 is the obvious choice.

The GTX 570, however, should not be dismissed outright for certain use cases. Its 40 nm Fermi architecture, while ancient, still records a Geekbench OpenCL score that places it in the 54th percentile overall. Its nearest rivals include the RX 9070 XT, a modern card, which suggests that in this specific compute workload, the GTX 570's score is not entirely obsolete. For legacy DirectX 11 applications or systems with older PCIe 2.0 slots, the GTX 570 remains functional, though its 1,280 MB of GDDR5 memory and 152.0 GB/s bandwidth are severe limitations.

The RX 7600's production status is Active, while the GTX 570 is End-of-life. This means the RX 7600 is still available for new builds, whereas the GTX 570 would only be found on the used market. For any new system, the RX 7600's 8 GB of GDDR6 memory, 288.0 GB/s bandwidth, and PCIe 4.0 x8 interface provide a far more future-proof foundation. The GTX 570's 320-bit bus width offers a wider memory path, but the overall bandwidth is still nearly half that of the RX 7600.

In summary, the RX 7600 is the superior card for virtually all modern workloads. The GTX 570's only advantage lies in its historical significance and its ability to run older software that may not benefit from newer architectures. The database's head-to-head record of one win for the RX 7600 and zero for the GTX 570 accurately reflects the performance reality.
