AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT vs NVIDIA Tesla C2075 Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The recorded benchmark data paints a remarkably one-sided picture for this comparison. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT wins the only shared benchmark test, Geekbench OpenCL, by a commanding margin. The NVIDIA Tesla C2075, on the other hand, does not register a single win in any head-to-head test. This is not a close contest by any stretch of the data.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT is designed for modern mobile gaming and general-purpose graphics workloads, and its benchmark profile reflects that versatility. It posts scores across a wide range of DirectX 10, 11, 12, and 9 tests, as well as compute-oriented tests like Passmark GPU Compute and Geekbench Vulkan. Its strongest relative performance lies in modern API workloads, where its RDNA 3.0 architecture can leverage features like hardware ray tracing and DirectX 12 Ultimate support.

The NVIDIA Tesla C2075, by contrast, is a compute-focused accelerator from the Fermi era. Its sole recorded benchmark score is in Geekbench OpenCL, which is a compute abstraction layer. The data indicates it was never designed for rasterization or gaming workloads, which explains the absence of DirectX or Vulkan benchmark entries in its profile. Its 48th percentile ranking among all GPUs suggests it sits near the middle of the pack historically, but its architecture is now a decade old.

The use-case split is therefore stark: the RX 7600M XT is a jack-of-all-trades mobile GPU that excels in both gaming and compute, while the Tesla C2075 is a legacy compute accelerator that only competes in OpenCL workloads, and even there it loses decisively. The data shows no scenario where the Tesla C2075 outperforms the Radeon, at least within the bounds of what was measured.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two GPUs is generational. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It packs 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA Tesla C2075, in contrast, uses the GF110 chip based on Fermi 2.0 architecture, also fabricated by TSMC but on a 40 nm process. It contains just 3,000 million transistors spread across a much larger 520 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of only 5.8 million per square millimeter.

The memory subsystems reflect the same generational divide. The Radeon RX 7600M XT features 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The Tesla C2075 offers 6 GB of GDDR5 memory on a wider 384-bit bus, but its bandwidth tops out at just 150.3 GB/s. The effective memory speed difference is substantial: 18 Gbps for the AMD part versus 3.1 Gbps for the NVIDIA part.

Compute resources also differ massively. The Radeon RX 7600M XT has 2,048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The Tesla C2075 has 448 shading units, 56 TMUs, and 48 ROPs, with no ray tracing capability at all. The pixel rate of the AMD part is 158.0 GPixel/s versus 16.07 GPixel/s for the Tesla, and the texture rate is 316.0 GTexel/s versus 32.14 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 20.23 TFLOPS for the Radeon versus 1,027.7 GFLOPS (roughly 1.03 TFLOPS) for the Tesla, a near 20-fold difference.

Other differences include the interface, power delivery, and physical form factor. The Radeon RX 7600M XT uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the Tesla C2075 uses PCIe 2.0 x16. The AMD part is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no power connectors, whereas the Tesla is a dual-slot card requiring both a 6-pin and an 8-pin power connector, with a suggested PSU of 550 W. The Tesla is also a long card at 248 mm, while the Radeon is portable-device dependent.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Only one benchmark appears in both GPUs' recorded results: Geekbench OpenCL. The AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT scores 74,869, while the NVIDIA Tesla C2075 scores 10,400. This yields a delta of 619.9%, meaning the Radeon is more than seven times faster in this compute workload. That is not an incremental improvement; it is a wholesale generational leap.

Geekbench OpenCL is a synthetic compute benchmark that exercises GPU parallelism through the OpenCL abstraction layer. The Radeon's 2,048 shading units, combined with its 6 nm process and GDDR6 memory, allow it to process far more work per clock cycle. The Tesla's 448 shading units, while respectable for 2011, are simply outmatched. The memory bandwidth advantage (288.0 GB/s versus 150.3 GB/s) further compounds the difference, as compute workloads often saturate memory.

The delta of 619.9% is the largest recorded across any benchmark in the database for this pairing. For context, the Radeon's average benchmark score across its entire suite is 12,710, which places it in the 52nd percentile of all GPUs. The Tesla's average is 10,400, placing it in the 48th percentile. These percentile rankings are close, but the average scores are inflated for the Radeon by its strong OpenCL result and its Passmark G3D score of 13,907.

The Radeon also shows a balanced profile across legacy DirectX tests: 76 in DirectX 10, 137 in DirectX 11, 58 in DirectX 12, and 175 in DirectX 9. Its Passmark GPU Compute score of 7,140 and Geekbench Vulkan score of 27,793 round out a comprehensive performance picture. The Tesla, with only a single OpenCL score, cannot compete on breadth or depth.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: the AMD Radeon RX 7600M XT is the superior GPU in every measurable way. It wins the only shared benchmark by 619.9%, and its architecture is newer, denser, and more efficient. The Tesla C2075, released in 2011, is end-of-life and was designed for a different era of computing.

For anyone choosing between these two, the decision should be based on workload relevance. The Radeon RX 7600M XT is suitable for modern gaming, content creation, and general compute tasks. Its 8 GB of GDDR6 memory and 32 ray tracing cores make it viable for current DirectX 12 Ultimate titles and Vulkan applications. The Tesla C2075, with its 6 GB of GDDR5 memory and no ray tracing support, is only relevant for legacy compute applications that specifically require Fermi-era OpenCL acceleration, and even then it trails dramatically.

The Radeon's 52nd percentile ranking among all GPUs, while not elite, puts it ahead of the Tesla's 48th percentile. Its nearest rivals in the database, such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (avg score 12,773, delta -0.5%) and the NVIDIA Tesla K20Xm (avg score 12,625, delta 0.7%), are all within a few percentage points, indicating that the Radeon sits in a competitive mid-range segment. The Tesla's nearest rivals, like the AMD Radeon RX 6500M (avg score 10,362, delta 0.4%) and the AMD Radeon RX 550X (avg score 10,481, delta -0.8%), are far lower in absolute performance.

The verdict is clear: pick the Radeon RX 7600M XT for any modern workload, and consider the Tesla C2075 only if you are maintaining legacy systems that cannot migrate away from Fermi.
