AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no direct head-to-head benchmark results between the AMD Radeon RX 7600M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER. Each product was evaluated using a different workload, so a single cross-product comparison is not possible from the recorded measurements. What can be analyzed is how each product positions relative to its own nearest competitors, which reveals substantially different performance tiers.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M records an average benchmark score of 63,775 in Geekbench OpenCL. This places it at the 89th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals cluster tightly around this figure. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP scores 63,830, which is 0.1% higher. The NVIDIA CMP 30HX scores 63,842, also 0.1% higher. The AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 scores 63,693, which is 0.1% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 scores 64,212, which is 0.7% higher. The RX 7600M sits essentially in the middle of a four-way tie, with no rival separated by more than 0.7% in either direction. This indicates a very competitive cluster where small score differences will not translate into meaningful real-world performance gaps.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER records an average benchmark score of 3,075 in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. This places it at the 19th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals are a different group entirely. The NVIDIA Quadro P1000 scores 3,163, which is 2.8% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce 820A scores 2,983, which is 3.1% lower. The Intel Arc Pro B60 scores 3,182, which is 3.4% higher. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M scores 2,967, which is 3.6% lower. The RTX 5080 SUPER sits in the lower portion of this group, with the two higher-scoring rivals exceeding it by roughly 3% and the two lower-scoring rivals trailing by roughly 3% to 4%.

The percentile figures tell a stark story. The RX 7600M at the 89th percentile is among the higher-performing GPUs in the entire database for its benchmark workload. The RTX 5080 SUPER at the 19th percentile is among the lower-performing GPUs for its benchmark workload. This is not a direct comparison of the same test, but it does indicate that the two products occupy very different positions in their respective measurement contexts.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M wins in the context of its benchmark category. Its 63,775 Geekbench OpenCL score places it well above the database median, and the tight clustering of its nearest rivals means that even small margins, such as the 0.1% advantage held by the CMP 30HX, do not represent a meaningful functional gap. The RX 7600M delivers a strong OpenCL result relative to its immediate peers, and its 89th percentile ranking shows that it outperforms the vast majority of recorded GPUs in that workload.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER wins in a different sense. Its 3,075 Steel Nomad DX12 score is lower than two of its four nearest rivals, but it still beats the NVIDIA GeForce 820A by 3.1% and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M by 3.6%. In the context of that specific test, the RTX 5080 SUPER is not the top performer in its cluster, but it is not the bottom either. Its 19th percentile ranking indicates that most other GPUs in the database score higher on this particular workload, which is a weak result relative to the broader field.

In terms of hardware specifications, the RTX 5080 SUPER carries substantially more compute resources. It has 10,752 shading units, 336 texture mapping units, 112 render output units, 84 ray tracing cores, and 336 tensor cores. The RX 7600M has 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 28 ray tracing cores, with no tensor cores listed. The RTX 5080 SUPER also has a much larger memory configuration at 24 GB of GDDR7 with a 256-bit bus and 1.02 TB/s bandwidth, compared to 8 GB of GDDR6 with a 128-bit bus and 256.0 GB/s bandwidth.

The RTX 5080 SUPER delivers 56.28 TFLOPS of FP32 performance and 56.28 TFLOPS of FP16 performance at a 1:1 ratio. The RX 7600M delivers 17.27 TFLOPS of FP32 and 34.55 TFLOPS of FP16 at a 2:1 ratio. The RTX 5080 SUPER also has a higher pixel rate at 293.1 GPixel/s versus 154.2 GPixel/s, and a higher texture rate at 879.3 GTexel/s versus 269.9 GTexel/s. These figures show a clear hardware capability advantage for the RTX 5080 SUPER, but the benchmark data does not directly confirm how that advantage translates into the specific workloads each product was tested on.

The Verdict

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M is the stronger performer in its own benchmark context. A 63,775 Geekbench OpenCL score at the 89th percentile places it among the top tier of the database, and its nearest rivals are all within 0.7% of its score. This indicates a stable, well-positioned result with no significant weaknesses relative to its direct competitors. The RX 7600M is a mobile-class GPU with a 90 W TDP, an integrated form factor, and no power connectors, which aligns with a laptop-oriented design that still delivers competitive OpenCL performance.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 SUPER is the weaker performer in its own benchmark context. A 3,075 Steel Nomad DX12 score at the 19th percentile places it well below the database median, and its nearest rivals are spread across a wider range, from 2.8% higher to 3.6% lower. This indicates a less consistent result, where the RTX 5080 SUPER is neither clearly dominant nor clearly trailing within its cluster, but its overall percentile position is poor.

The data does not support a direct winner because the two products were not tested on the same workload. What the data does show is that the RX 7600M performs strongly relative to its peers, while the RTX 5080 SUPER performs weakly relative to its peers. For a user who relies on Geekbench OpenCL as a relevant measure, the RX 7600M is the better choice based on its high percentile and tight competitive positioning. For a user who relies on 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RTX 5080 SUPER is the better choice among its specific rival set, but its low percentile suggests that many other GPUs would be more appropriate for that workload.

The specification gap between the two is large, with the RTX 5080 SUPER offering 6 times the shading units, 3 times the texture mapping units, 3 times the ray tracing cores, and 3 times the memory capacity. However, the benchmark results do not reflect that gap in favor of the RTX 5080 SUPER. The recorded data shows the RX 7600M at a much higher percentile, which suggests that benchmark selection and workload characteristics play a decisive role in how these products are evaluated.
