AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT vs NVIDIA TITAN Xp Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The NVIDIA TITAN Xp and AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT represent two very different eras of GPU design, and the benchmark data reflects that split. Across the ten recorded tests, the TITAN Xp claims six wins while the RX 7600 XT takes four, but the margins tell a more nuanced story than the raw win count.

The TITAN Xp's most dominant showing comes in the Geekbench Vulkan test, where it scores 87,180 against the RX 7600 XT's 48,366. That is an 80.3% advantage, a massive gap that suggests the older Pascal architecture retains a significant edge in this particular API workload. The DirectX 10 Passmark test also favors NVIDIA heavily, with the TITAN Xp scoring 119 versus 85, a 40% lead. These are not small margins; they are category-level differences.

In the modern 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the TITAN Xp edges out the RX 7600 XT by a single percentage point, scoring 2,372 to 2,348. This is essentially a tie, and it is notable that a 2017 flagship and a 2024 mid-range card land so close in a current-generation DirectX 12 workload. The Passmark DirectX 12 test tells a similar story, with the TITAN Xp ahead by 6.2% (69 to 65).

The TITAN Xp also wins the Passmark G3D test, scoring 18,750 against 17,132, a 9.4% lead. Its Passmark GPU compute score of 9,430 beats the RX 7600 XT's 8,987 by 4.9%. These two results reinforce the pattern: the TITAN Xp holds a consistent, if not overwhelming, advantage in the synthetic gaming and compute aggregates.

The RX 7600 XT, however, has its own victories, and the largest one is substantial. In Geekbench OpenCL, AMD scores 92,426 against NVIDIA's 72,585, a 21.5% swing in AMD's favor. This is the inverse of the Vulkan result and shows that API choice dramatically changes the competitive picture. The Passmark G2D test also goes to AMD, with 1,030 versus 883, a 14.3% lead in 2D graphics performance.

The DirectX 11 Passmark test favors the RX 7600 XT by 9% (167 to 152), and the DirectX 9 test is nearly even, with AMD winning 228 to 226, a 0.9% margin. These legacy API results show the RX 7600 XT handling older DirectX workloads competently, if not spectacularly.

Looking at the average benchmark scores, the TITAN Xp posts 19,177 while the RX 7600 XT posts 17,083. The TITAN Xp's nearest rivals in the database include the GeForce GTX 780 (19,164, only 0.1% behind), the Tesla K20m (19,089, 0.5% behind), the RTX 4050 Mobile (19,049, 0.7% behind), and the RX 6600 (19,036, 0.7% behind). The RX 7600 XT sits in a slightly lower bracket, with the RTX 3070 just 0.7% ahead at 17,208, the GTX 690 0.3% behind at 17,037, the HD 7970M 0.4% behind at 17,019, and the Tesla M4 0.9% behind at 16,932.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear split based on workload. The NVIDIA TITAN Xp is the stronger choice for Vulkan-based applications, where its 80.3% lead is decisive, and it also holds advantages in DirectX 10, DirectX 12, and the overall Passmark G3D and compute aggregates. Its average benchmark score of 19,177 is 12.3% higher than the RX 7600 XT's 17,083, and it ranks in the 64th percentile versus the 60th.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT is the better option for OpenCL workloads, where its 21.5% lead is unambiguous, and it also wins in 2D performance and legacy DirectX 11 and DirectX 9 tests. Its 16 GB memory capacity is double the TITAN Xp's 12 GB, which the recorded data does not directly benchmark but which is a meaningful specification difference for memory-heavy applications.

For users prioritizing modern DirectX 12 gaming, the two cards are nearly indistinguishable; the 1% gap in 3DMark Steel Nomad is within noise. For Vulkan-focused users, the TITAN Xp is the clear pick. For OpenCL compute or 2D-heavy workloads, the RX 7600 XT is the better fit. The TITAN Xp is end-of-life, while the RX 7600 XT is still active, but the benchmark data shows the older card still holds its own in several key areas.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly every major specification category. The TITAN Xp uses 12 GB of GDDR5X memory on a 384-bit bus with 547.6 GB/s bandwidth, while the RX 7600 XT uses 16 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus with 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The TITAN Xp's memory clock runs at 1426 MHz (11.4 Gbps effective), while the RX 7600 XT's runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), but the TITAN Xp's wider bus gives it nearly double the bandwidth.

The TITAN Xp has 3,840 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 96 ROPs. The RX 7600 XT has 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, but it also includes 32 ray tracing cores, which the TITAN Xp lacks entirely. The RX 7600 XT has no tensor cores in the recorded data, and the TITAN Xp lists none either.

Clock speeds differ substantially. The TITAN Xp runs at 1405 MHz base and 1582 MHz boost, while the RX 7600 XT runs at 1980 MHz base, 2470 MHz game clock, and 2755 MHz boost. The RX 7600 XT has no game clock listed for the TITAN Xp.

Pixel and texture rates also differ. The TITAN Xp posts 151.9 GPixel/s and 379.7 GTexel/s, while the RX 7600 XT posts 176.3 GPixel/s and 352.6 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is 12.15 TFLOPS for the TITAN Xp and 22.57 TFLOPS for the RX 7600 XT. FP16 is dramatically different: the TITAN Xp manages 189.8 GFLOPS at a 1:64 ratio, while the RX 7600 XT hits 22.57 TFLOPS at 1:1.

Power specifications favor the RX 7600 XT, with a 190 W TDP and a 450 W suggested PSU, compared to the TITAN Xp's 250 W TDP and 600 W suggested PSU. The TITAN Xp requires 1x 6-pin and 1x 8-pin power connectors, while the RX 7600 XT needs only 1x 8-pin. Both are dual-slot cards.

The RX 7600 XT uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the TITAN Xp uses PCIe 3.0 x16. Display outputs differ: the TITAN Xp offers 1x HDMI 2.0 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the RX 7600 XT offers 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1. Physical dimensions vary, with the TITAN Xp measuring 267 mm in length, 112 mm in height, and 40 mm in width, while the RX 7600 XT measures 204 mm in length and 115 mm in height with no width listed.

Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA TITAN Xp is built on the Pascal architecture using the GP102 chip, manufactured on a 16 nm process at TSMC. It packs 11,800 million transistors into a 471 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 25.1M per mm². It belongs to the GeForce 10 generation and was released in April 2017. Its API support includes DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip, codenamed "Hotpink Bonefish." It is manufactured on a 6 nm process, also at TSMC, and contains 13,300 million transistors in a much smaller 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². It belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series and the Navi III (RX 7000) generation, released in January 2024. Its API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The architectural differences are stark. The RX 7600 XT's 6 nm process allows for more than double the transistor density of the TITAN Xp's 16 nm process, and it achieves higher clock speeds with lower power draw. The RX 7600 XT includes 32 ray tracing cores, a feature absent from the Pascal-based TITAN Xp. The RX 7600 XT also delivers full-rate FP16 compute at 22.57 TFLOPS, while the TITAN Xp's FP16 throughput is severely limited at 189.8 GFLOPS with a 1:64 ratio.

The TITAN Xp's Pascal architecture was designed for the GeForce 10 generation, with its predecessor being GeForce 900 and its successor GeForce 20. The RX 7600 XT's RDNA 3.0 architecture has its predecessor in Navi II and successor in Navi IV. The TITAN Xp is end-of-life, while the RX 7600 XT remains active in production. The launch MSRP for the TITAN Xp is 1,199 USD, while the RX 7600 XT carries a launch MSRP of 329 USD.
