Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi III generation and the Radeon RX 7000 series. The process node is 6 nm at TSMC, with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the GB205 chip built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, part of the GeForce 50 generation and the GeForce 50-series. The process node is 5 nm at TSMC, with 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 118.3 million per square millimeter. The RTX 5070 SUPER packs more than twice the transistor count and nearly 1.8 times the density of the RX 7600.

Shader resources differ substantially. The RX 7600 has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. The RTX 5070 SUPER has 6400 shading units, 200 TMUs, and 80 ROPs. Ray tracing hardware also differs: the RX 7600 includes 32 RT cores, while the RTX 5070 SUPER includes 50 RT cores and 200 tensor cores. The RX 7600 has no tensor core entries in the database.

The memory subsystems are built on different generations. The RX 7600 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 5070 SUPER uses 18 GB of GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus, delivering 672.0 GB/s. That is 10 GB more capacity and more than double the bandwidth. The RTX 5070 SUPER also uses a wider PCIe 5.0 x16 interface, compared to the RX 7600's PCIe 4.0 x8.

Clock behavior differs by design. The RX 7600 has a base clock of 1720 MHz, a boost clock of 2655 MHz, and a game clock of 2250 MHz. The RTX 5070 SUPER has a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz, with no game clock listed. The RX 7600 boosts higher, but the RTX 5070 SUPER starts from a much higher base.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs are similar in count but differ in version: the RX 7600 has 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while the RTX 5070 SUPER has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. Both are dual-slot cards with a 115 mm height, but the RX 7600 is 204 mm long while the RTX 5070 SUPER is 245 mm long and 40 mm wide.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct comparison in the database is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER scores 2690, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600 scores 2310. The delta is -14.1% from the perspective of the RX 7600, meaning the RTX 5070 SUPER is ahead by 14.1%. This is a substantial margin in a single modern DirectX 12 workload.

The RX 7600's average benchmark score of 15171 is driven by its ten recorded tests, which include Geekbench OpenCL at 88051, Geekbench Vulkan at 34401, Passmark G3D at 16634, Passmark G2D at 984, Passmark GPU Compute at 8790, and several DirectX-specific Passmark entries. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2310 is one component of that overall average. In contrast, the RTX 5070 SUPER's average score of 2690 comes entirely from that single 3DMark result.

The percentile data frames the comparison differently. The RX 7600 sits at the 57th percentile of all GPUs, while the RTX 5070 SUPER sits at the 18th percentile. The RTX 5070 SUPER outperforms the RX 7600 in the one shared benchmark, yet its percentile is much lower because the database currently contains only one measurement for it, and that measurement places it below the bulk of the GPU population. The RX 7600's percentile reflects a broader set of workloads where it lands above more than half of all recorded GPUs.

The nearest rival data also shows different competitive contexts. The RX 7600 trades places with cards like the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OEM, the AMD Radeon 680M, the AMD Radeon Pro 560X, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 Ti, all within a delta range of -0.7% to 0.7%. That means the RX 7600 is effectively at parity with its nearest neighbors in average score. The RTX 5070 SUPER's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M, the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030, the Intel Arc Pro B50, and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440, with deltas from 1% to 1.7%. The RTX 5070 SUPER leads those cards, but they are older, lower-tier parts, which explains its lower percentile.

The single head-to-head result indicates that in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the RTX 5070 SUPER delivers a clear performance advantage. The recorded data does not include any other shared test, so the comparison rests on that one workload. The RX 7600's broader benchmark suite shows strong compute results, but the direct comparison favors NVIDIA by 14.1%.

Release dates differ: the RX 7600 was released on 2023-05-24, and the RTX 5070 SUPER on 2025-12-31.

The Verdict

The recorded data shows a clear winner in the single shared benchmark. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER leads the AMD Radeon RX 7600 by 14.1% in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. It also holds advantages in virtually every architectural specification: more shading units, more TMUs, more ROPs, more RT cores, tensor cores, higher FP32 throughput, more memory, wider bus, and higher bandwidth.

The RX 7600 has its own strengths in the database. Its percentile ranking is far higher at 57 versus 18, and its ten benchmark entries provide a broader picture of performance across OpenCL, Vulkan, and multiple DirectX versions. Its average score of 15171 reflects that breadth, while the RTX 5070 SUPER's average of 2690 is tied entirely to one test. The RX 7600 also boosts to a higher clock of 2655 MHz, uses less power at 165 W versus 275 W, and has a smaller physical footprint.

For the user prioritizing the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result, the RTX 5070 SUPER is the stronger card. The 14.1% delta is a meaningful margin in a modern workload, and the specification sheet supports that result with larger memory, newer GDDR7, and a wider bus. The RTX 5070 SUPER also offers 18 GB of memory versus 8 GB, which is a substantial difference for memory-heavy tasks.

For the user looking at the broader benchmark profile, the RX 7600 shows a more complete record. It ranks above 57% of all GPUs, has ten recorded tests, and sits in a tight competitive cluster with cards like the RTX 3050 OEM and the Radeon 680M. Its 21.75 TFLOPS FP32 and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth are lower than the RTX 5070 SUPER's figures, but its lower power draw and existing ecosystem of benchmark results make it a well-characterized part.

The data does not support a universal recommendation. The RTX 5070 SUPER wins the head-to-head test and dominates the spec sheet. The RX 7600 has a richer benchmark history and a much higher percentile. The choice depends on which dataset matters more: the single modern DirectX 12 test or the multi-workload average. The RTX 5070 SUPER is the performance leader in the direct comparison, while the RX 7600 is the more thoroughly measured card in the database.
