Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT is the clear victor in raw compute performance. In Geekbench OpenCL, it scores 74869 compared to the Quadro M2000's 14588, a massive 80.5% lead. In Geekbench Vulkan, the AMD card scores 27793 versus 14475, a 47.9% advantage. These results show the RX 7600M XT dominates in both compute and graphics API workloads.

The NVIDIA Quadro M2000 wins in consistency and relative standing. Its average benchmark score of 14532 places it at the 56th percentile, four points higher than the RX 7600M XT's 52nd percentile. The Quadro M2000 also shows narrower gaps to its nearest rivals, with deltas ranging from -1.1% to +1.1%, while the RX 7600M XT's rival deltas span -0.9% to +0.7%. This suggests the Quadro M2000 is more tightly clustered with its peers, whereas the RX 7600M XT's average is pulled down by its lower-scoring tests.

The RX 7600M XT has additional benchmark coverage in the database, including PassMark tests. It scores 13907 in PassMark G3D, 7140 in GPU compute, 894 in G2D, 175 in DirectX 9, 137 in DirectX 11, 76 in DirectX 10, and 58 in DirectX 12. The Quadro M2000 has no recorded PassMark results, so the AMD card offers a more complete picture across legacy and modern DirectX versions.

Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA Quadro M2000 is built on the Maxwell 2.0 architecture using the GM206 chip. It is manufactured on a 28 nm process at TSMC with 2,940 million transistors on a 228 mm² die. The transistor density is 12.9 million per mm². It belongs to the Quadro Maxwell generation (Mx000) and follows the Quadro Kepler line, with Quadro Pascal as its successor.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT uses the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the Navi 33 chip, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. It is built on a 6 nm process at TSMC with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². It belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 7000M) generation and succeeds the Polaris Mobile line.

The process node difference is substantial: 28 nm versus 6 nm. The RX 7600M XT packs more than four times the transistors into a slightly smaller die, resulting in a much higher transistor density. The AMD card also features 32 ray tracing cores, which the Quadro M2000 lacks entirely. The RX 7600M XT supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the Quadro M2000 only reaches DirectX 12 (12_1).

The cooling and form factor approaches differ as well. The Quadro M2000 is a single-slot card with no power connectors, measuring 201 mm in length and 111 mm in height. The RX 7600M XT is an integrated graphics package (IGP) with no defined dimensions, designed for portable devices with device-dependent display outputs.

Specification Differences

The two GPUs differ across nearly every specification category. The clock speeds show the RX 7600M XT operating at a much higher range: base clock of 1280 MHz, boost clock of 2469 MHz, and a game clock of 2023 MHz. The Quadro M2000 runs at a base of 796 MHz and a boost of 1163 MHz. Memory clocks also diverge, with the AMD card at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) versus the NVIDIA card's 1653 MHz (6.6 Gbps effective).

Memory capacity and type differ: 4 GB GDDR5 on the Quadro M2000 versus 8 GB GDDR6 on the RX 7600M XT. Both use a 128-bit bus, but bandwidth is nearly three times higher on the AMD card: 288.0 GB/s versus 105.8 GB/s.

Compute resources are heavily skewed toward the AMD card. It has 2048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs, compared to 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, and 32 ROPs on the NVIDIA card. Pixel rate is 158.0 GPixel/s versus 37.22 GPixel/s, and texture rate is 316.0 GTexel/s versus 55.82 GTexel/s. FP32 performance is 20.23 TFLOPS versus 1.786 TFLOPS, and the AMD card adds 40.45 TFLOPS FP16 (2:1) performance, which the Quadro M2000 does not list.

Power and interface specs also differ. The Quadro M2000 has a 75 W TDP with a suggested 250 W PSU, while the RX 7600M XT has a 120 W TDP with no suggested PSU. The bus interface is PCIe 3.0 x16 on the NVIDIA card versus PCIe 4.0 x16 on the AMD card. Display outputs are 4x DisplayPort 1.2 on the Quadro M2000, while the RX 7600M XT's outputs are portable device dependent. Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records two shared benchmarks between these GPUs, and the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT wins both. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RX 7600M XT scores 74869 against the Quadro M2000's 14588, a delta of 80.5% in favor of AMD. This is a dominant victory that reflects the massive difference in shading units, clock speeds, and compute throughput.

In Geekbench Vulkan, the RX 7600M XT scores 27793 against 14475 for the Quadro M2000, a 47.9% lead. While still a clear win, the gap narrows compared to OpenCL, suggesting the Vulkan workload benefits the NVIDIA architecture relatively more, though not enough to overcome the raw hardware advantage of the AMD card.

The Quadro M2000's nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M (avg score 14404, delta 0.9%), the AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 (14385, delta 1%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN (14373, delta 1.1%), and the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT (14692, delta -1.1%). This clustering shows the Quadro M2000 performs at a level consistent with older mid-range and flagship cards.

The RX 7600M XT's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (12773, delta -0.5%), the NVIDIA Tesla K20Xm (12625, delta 0.7%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 (12830, delta -0.9%), and the AMD Radeon Pro 455 (12831, delta -0.9%). Despite winning both head-to-head tests decisively, the RX 7600M XT's average score is dragged down by its PassMark results, which include lower numbers in DirectX 10 (76), DirectX 12 (58), and G2D (894).

The Verdict

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT is the performance winner in every directly comparable benchmark. It leads by 80.5% in OpenCL and 47.9% in Vulkan, with substantially higher memory bandwidth, compute throughput, and newer architecture features like ray tracing and DirectX 12 Ultimate support. For users prioritizing raw compute and modern API capabilities, the RX 7600M XT is the clear choice.

The NVIDIA Quadro M2000 holds a higher average benchmark score of 14532 and a better percentile ranking at 56, compared to the RX 7600M XT's 12710 and 52. This is because the database averages multiple tests, and the RX 7600M XT's PassMark results are comparatively weak in certain DirectX versions. The Quadro M2000 also offers a lower TDP of 75 W versus 120 W, a single-slot form factor, and a fixed set of four DisplayPort outputs, which suits workstation environments with specific display and power constraints.

The production status favors the RX 7600M XT as active, while the Quadro M2000 is end-of-life. The AMD card also has double the memory (8 GB versus 4 GB), faster memory (GDDR6 versus GDDR5), and a more recent release date (January 2023 versus April 2016). Users needing a current, supported GPU with strong compute performance should select the RX 7600M XT. Users constrained by power budgets, requiring a dedicated single-slot card with DisplayPort outputs, or relying on the more stable relative standing of the Quadro M2000 may still find it serviceable, but the data clearly favors the AMD part for raw performance.
