AMD Radeon RX 7600M vs NVIDIA RTX A2000 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains a single direct comparison between the AMD Radeon RX 7600M and the NVIDIA RTX A2000: the Geekbench OpenCL test. In this test, the NVIDIA RTX A2000 scores 67695, while the AMD Radeon RX 7600M scores 63775. The NVIDIA part wins this head-to-head matchup with a delta of 5.8% over the AMD competitor. This is the only benchmark where both parts have recorded scores, so the head-to-head comparison is narrow but informative.

The NVIDIA RTX A2000 also has additional benchmark records that the AMD Radeon RX 7600M lacks. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RTX A2000 scores 1345. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 69089. These results cannot be directly compared to the AMD part because no corresponding scores exist for the RX 7600M in those tests, but they do provide context for the RTX A2000's overall capability profile.

When examining the average benchmark score, a different picture emerges. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M has an average benchmark score of 63775, which places it in the 89th percentile of all GPUs in the database. The NVIDIA RTX A2000 has an average benchmark score of 46043, placing it in the 85th percentile. The discrepancy between the RTX A2000's Geekbench OpenCL score and its average score stems from the fact that its average includes the much lower 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 1345. This is an important distinction: in the single directly comparable workload, the NVIDIA part wins, but across the broader set of available benchmarks, the AMD part achieves a higher average and percentile ranking.

The nearest rivals in the database provide additional context. For the AMD Radeon RX 7600M, the closest competitors are the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT LP with an average score of 63830 (0.1% higher than the RX 7600M), the NVIDIA CMP 30HX at 63842 (0.1% higher), the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 56 at 63693 (0.1% lower), and the AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 at 64212 (0.7% higher). These deltas are all within 1%, indicating that the RX 7600M sits in a tightly clustered performance band around the 63.7k to 64.2k score range.

For the NVIDIA RTX A2000, the nearest rivals are the NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation at 45972 (0.2% lower than the RTX A2000), the Intel Arc A730M at 45592 (1.0% lower), the AMD Radeon RX 5600M at 46601 (1.2% higher), and the Intel Arc A530M at 46614 (1.2% higher). These deltas are also small, but the cluster centers around 45.6k to 46.6k, which is noticeably below the RX 7600M's cluster around 63.7k to 64.2k.

The head-to-head Geekbench OpenCL result shows the RTX A2000 ahead by 5.8%, but the average benchmark scores tell a different story, with the RX 7600M sitting roughly 38% higher in average score. This divergence is explained by the RTX A2000's 3DMark Steel Nomad result being much lower than its Geekbench scores, pulling its average down significantly.
