AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Comparison

The Verdict

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT is the clear performance winner in every head-to-head benchmark recorded in the database. It takes both shared tests, Geekbench OpenCL and Geekbench Vulkan, with decisive margins of 66.8% and 63.9% respectively. For any workload that leverages compute or modern graphics APIs, the RX 7600M XT is the only rational choice based on the measured data.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN, despite its 2013-era Kepler architecture and end-of-life production status, retains a higher overall percentile ranking of 56 versus the RX 7600M XT's 52. This suggests that across the broader database of all GPUs, the GTX TITAN's average benchmark score of 14373 is higher than the RX 7600M XT's average of 12710. However, this aggregate statistic is misleading for direct comparison, as the head-to-head tests show the AMD part dominating in every shared workload.

The GTX TITAN should only be considered by users who require its specific legacy feature set, such as 6 GB of GDDR5 memory on a 384-bit bus, or who need a dual-slot PCIe 3.0 card with multiple display outputs. The RX 7600M XT, being an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no power connectors and no fixed dimensions, is designed for portable devices. The data shows that mobile users get dramatically higher compute performance, while desktop users with legacy slot requirements may find the GTX TITAN's form factor more suitable.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs represent completely different eras of graphics design. The GTX TITAN uses the GK110 chip built on a 28 nm TSMC process, while the RX 7600M XT uses the Navi 33 chip on a 6 nm TSMC process. The transistor counts reflect this generational leap: the GK110 packs 7,080 million transistors across a 561 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 12.6 million per mm². The Navi 33 crams 13,300 million transistors into just 204 mm², achieving 65.2 million per mm². That is a five-fold improvement in density.

The GTX TITAN belongs to the Kepler architecture and GeForce 700 generation, with a DirectX 12 (11_0) API level, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.2.175. The RX 7600M XT is built on RDNA 3.0, part of the Radeon RX 7000 series and Navi Mobile generation, with DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD part also includes 32 ray tracing cores, a feature entirely absent from the GTX TITAN.

Clock speeds show a massive difference. The GTX TITAN runs at a base of 836 MHz with a boost of 876 MHz. The RX 7600M XT starts at 1280 MHz base, boosts to 2469 MHz, and has a game clock of 2023 MHz. Even the memory clocks diverge sharply: the GTX TITAN uses 1502 MHz memory (6 Gbps effective) while the RX 7600M XT runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective).

The GTX TITAN has more shading units (2688 versus 2048) and more texture mapping units (224 versus 128), but the RX 7600M XT has more ROPs (64 versus 48). The AMD part compensates for its lower shader count with far higher clocks, resulting in dramatically higher throughput figures.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7600M XT wins decisively in all compute-oriented benchmarks. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 74869 against the GTX TITAN's 24873, a 66.8% advantage. In Geekbench Vulkan, it scores 27793 versus 10027, a 63.9% lead. The AMD part also delivers superior theoretical throughput: 20.23 TFLOPS FP32 versus 4.709 TFLOPS, 316.0 GTexel/s versus 196.2 GTexel/s, and 158.0 GPixel/s versus 49.06 GPixel/s. It also supports FP16 at 40.45 TFLOPS (2:1), which the GTX TITAN does not list.

The GTX TITAN's advantages are narrower. It has a higher average benchmark score across the database (14373 versus 12710) and a better percentile ranking (56 versus 52). Its memory configuration, 6 GB on a 384-bit bus at 288.4 GB/s, is essentially identical in bandwidth to the RX 7600M XT's 8 GB on a 128-bit bus at 288.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA card also has a lower thermal design power at 250 W versus the AMD part's 120 W, though this is expected for a desktop card versus a mobile IGP. The GTX TITAN's PCIe 3.0 x16 interface and dedicated display outputs (2x DVI, 1x HDMI 1.4a, 1x DisplayPort 1.2) make it a functional desktop component, whereas the RX 7600M XT's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records two shared benchmark tests between these GPUs, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT wins both with overwhelming margins.

In Geekbench OpenCL, the RX 7600M XT scores 74869 against the GTX TITAN's 24873. This represents a 66.8% lead for the AMD part. The raw compute specifications explain this gap: the RX 7600M XT delivers 20.23 TFLOPS FP32, more than four times the GTX TITAN's 4.709 TFLOPS. The AMD card's texture rate of 316.0 GTexel/s also exceeds the NVIDIA card's 196.2 GTexel/s, and its pixel rate of 158.0 GPixel/s is more than triple the GTX TITAN's 49.06 GPixel/s.

In Geekbench Vulkan, the RX 7600M XT scores 27793 versus 10027, a 63.9% advantage. This is consistent with the OpenCL result and reflects the architectural advantages of RDNA 3.0 over Kepler. The RX 7600M XT supports Vulkan 1.4, while the GTX TITAN is limited to Vulkan 1.2.175. The AMD part also has 32 ray tracing cores and DirectX 12 Ultimate support, features that the GTX TITAN lacks entirely.

The GTX TITAN's best showing in the shared tests is relative, not absolute. Its OpenCL score of 24873 is roughly 33% of the RX 7600M XT's score, and its Vulkan score of 10027 is about 36% of the AMD part's result. In no shared benchmark does the NVIDIA card come close to matching the AMD card.

For context, the nearest rivals to the GTX TITAN in the database include the AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 with an average score of 14385 and a delta of -0.1%, and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M at 14404 with a delta of -0.2%. The RX 7600M XT's nearest rivals include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 at 12773 (delta -0.5%) and the NVIDIA Tesla K20Xm at 12625 (delta 0.7%). These numbers show that the GTX TITAN's aggregate score sits slightly above the RX 7600M XT's, yet the direct comparison reveals the AMD part's superiority in modern compute workloads.
