AMD Radeon RX 7600S vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN Comparison

The Verdict

The benchmark database positions the AMD Radeon RX 7600S as the clear winner in direct comparison, taking both recorded head-to-head tests. The Geekbench Vulkan result is particularly decisive: the RX 7600S scores 73,868 against the GTX TITAN’s 10,027, a 636.7% advantage. In OpenCL, the gap narrows but remains massive, with the RX 7600S at 68,012 versus 24,873, a 173.4% lead. The average benchmark score reflects this: the RX 7600S averages 16,696, while the GTX TITAN averages 14,373, a difference of about 16%. The percentile rankings also separate them, with the RX 7600S at the 60th percentile of all GPUs and the GTX TITAN at the 56th. For any workload relying on modern API performance, the data points exclusively to the AMD part.

However, the GTX TITAN is not without its own context. Its average score of 14,373 places it within 0.1% of the AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 (14,385) and 0.2% of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M (14,404). The RX 7600S, by contrast, sits near the NVIDIA T400 4 GB (16,792), which is only 0.6% ahead, and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 (16,504), which trails by 1.2%. This suggests the RX 7600S competes in a much faster class. The verdict: for modern gaming or compute tasks using DirectX 12 or Vulkan, the RX 7600S is the only rational choice. The GTX TITAN remains relevant only for legacy scenarios or specific OpenGL workloads where its older architecture might still function, but the recorded data shows no benchmark where it wins.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from entirely different eras and design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 7600S uses the Navi 33 chip, built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename “Hotpink Bonefish.” It is manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC, packing 13,300 million transistors into a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per mm². The NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN uses the GK110 chip, based on the Kepler architecture, from the GeForce 700 generation. It is built on a 28 nm process, also at TSMC, with 7,080 million transistors on a much larger 561 mm² die, resulting in a density of just 12.6 million per mm². The process node difference alone explains much of the performance and efficiency gap.

Memory configurations also diverge sharply. The RX 7600S has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GTX TITAN has 6 GB of GDDR5 on a 384-bit bus, which actually delivers higher peak bandwidth at 288.4 GB/s. Despite the older memory type, the wider bus gives the GTX TITAN a theoretical bandwidth advantage. Clock speeds tell a different story: the RX 7600S runs at a 1500 MHz base and 2200 MHz boost, with a game clock of 1865 MHz, while the GTX TITAN idles at 836 MHz base and 876 MHz boost. The RX 7600S also features 28 ray tracing cores, a capability the GTX TITAN lacks entirely, as it predates RT hardware. The API support reflects this: the RX 7600S supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2) and Vulkan 1.4, while the GTX TITAN is limited to DirectX 12 (11_0) and Vulkan 1.2.175.

Specification Differences

The most striking differences appear in the compute and process parameters. The RX 7600S has 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. The GTX TITAN has 2,688 shading units and 224 TMUs, but only 48 ROPs. This means the older card has more raw shader hardware, yet it still loses decisively due to clock speed and architectural efficiency. The RX 7600S achieves a pixel rate of 140.8 GPixel/s and a texture rate of 246.4 GTexel/s, while the GTX TITAN manages 49.06 GPixel/s and 196.2 GTexel/s. FP32 throughput is 15.77 TFLOPS for the RX 7600S versus 4.709 TFLOPS for the GTX TITAN. The RX 7600S also supports FP16 at 31.54 TFLOPS (2:1), a feature the GTX TITAN does not list.

Power and physical specifications diverge completely. The RX 7600S is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with a 75 W TDP and no power connectors, designed for portable devices. The GTX TITAN is a dual-slot card with a 250 W TDP, requiring one 6-pin and one 8-pin power connector, and a suggested 600 W PSU. Its dimensions are 267 mm in length, 111 mm in height, and 38 mm in width. The RX 7600S lists no dimensions, as it is an IGP. The bus interface differs too: the RX 7600S uses PCIe 4.0 x16, while the GTX TITAN uses PCIe 3.0 x16. Display outputs on the GTX TITAN include 2x DVI, 1x HDMI 1.4a, and 1x DisplayPort 1.2, whereas the RX 7600S outputs are listed as “Portable Device Dependent.” The GTX TITAN’s launch MSRP was 999 USD, though the RX 7600S has no listed launch MSRP. Production status also differs: the RX 7600S is active, while the GTX TITAN is end-of-life.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database records two direct comparisons, and both favor the AMD part overwhelmingly. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RX 7600S scores 68,012, which is 173.4% higher than the GTX TITAN’s 24,873. This test stresses general compute performance, and the result aligns with the FP32 throughput difference: 15.77 TFLOPS versus 4.709 TFLOPS. The RX 7600S is roughly 3.3 times faster in raw floating-point, and the OpenCL score reflects a similar multiplicative gap. The Vulkan test is even more lopsided. The RX 7600S posts 73,868, while the GTX TITAN manages only 10,027, a 636.7% difference. Vulkan is a modern low-level API, and the Kepler architecture simply cannot translate its older design into competitive scores here. The GTX TITAN’s only recorded benchmark outside these two is Geekbench Metal, where it scores 8,218, but no comparable Metal result exists for the RX 7600S in the database.

The RX 7600S also appears stronger in the broader benchmark suite. Its PassMark G3D score of 15,408 and average of 16,696 far exceed the GTX TITAN’s average of 14,373. The nearest rivals for the RX 7600S include the NVIDIA T400 4 GB (0.6% higher average) and the NVIDIA Tesla M4 (1.4% lower), which indicates it sits in a performance tier well above the GTX TITAN’s nearest rivals, which are integrated or older mobile parts like the AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 and the Intel Iris Xe MAX Graphics. The data shows no scenario where the GTX TITAN wins a recorded head-to-head test.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7600S wins every recorded benchmark category. In OpenCL compute, its 173.4% lead makes it the clear choice for GPU-accelerated workloads that use this API, such as scientific simulations or video encoding. In Vulkan gaming, the 636.7% advantage is so large that the RX 7600S is effectively in a different performance class, suitable for modern titles that leverage low-level rendering. The RX 7600S also wins on efficiency, with a 75 W TDP versus 250 W for the GTX TITAN, making it viable for thin-and-light laptops where power draw is critical. Its 6 nm process and 8 GB GDDR6 memory provide a modern foundation for future software updates.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN wins in a narrower set of legacy contexts. Its 384-bit memory bus provides 288.4 GB/s of bandwidth, which is 12.7% higher than the RX 7600S. For workloads that are bandwidth-bound rather than compute-bound, this could matter. Its 2,688 shading units and 224 TMUs represent more raw hardware, which might respond better to older drivers or specific OpenGL applications that were optimized for Kepler. The GTX TITAN also supports dual-slot cooling and a 600 W PSU recommendation, which is irrelevant for portability but could be a factor in stationary builds using legacy software. However, the database shows no benchmark win for the GTX TITAN, so these advantages remain theoretical. The RX 7600S is the definitive winner for any modern use case, while the GTX TITAN belongs to a bygone era of high-power desktop computing.
