AMD Radeon RX 7600S vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct comparison available in the database is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, and the result is unambiguous. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER scores 2690 points, while the AMD Radeon RX 7600S scores 1888 points. That is a delta of -29.8% for the AMD part, meaning the NVIDIA GPU delivers a 42.5% higher raw score in this specific workload. The gap is substantial and consistent with the positioning of the two products in their respective lineups.

Looking at the average benchmark scores, the picture becomes more nuanced. The AMD Radeon RX 7600S carries an average benchmark score of 16696 across its full suite of tests, which includes Geekbench OpenCL, Geekbench Vulkan, and multiple Passmark entries. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER, by contrast, has only one recorded benchmark result in the database, the same 3DMark Steel Nomad run, so its average score is 2690. This disparity in test coverage means the aggregate numbers are not directly comparable. The AMD card has been measured across ten different workloads, from Passmark DirectX 9 at 211 points to Passmark G3D at 15408 points, while the NVIDIA card has a single data point.

The AMD part shows particular strength in compute-oriented synthetic tests. Its Geekbench OpenCL score is 68012 and its Geekbench Vulkan score is 73868. These are the highest individual scores recorded for the RX 7600S, indicating that the architecture handles general-purpose compute and Vulkan workloads well. The Passmark GPU Compute score of 6520 reinforces this pattern. On the DirectX side, the RX 7600S produces more modest results: Passmark DirectX 11 scores 140 points, DirectX 12 scores 65 points, and DirectX 10 scores 74 points. The Passmark DirectX 9 result of 211 points is the strongest of the legacy API tests.

The database places the AMD Radeon RX 7600S at the 60th percentile among all GPUs, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER sits at the 18th percentile. This is a curious divergence. The percentile ranking reflects the distribution of all recorded GPUs, and the RX 7600S outperforms a majority of the field, whereas the RTX 5070 SUPER ranks near the bottom, despite its superior 3DMark result. The explanation lies in the neighboring rivals. The RX 7600S is bracketed by the NVIDIA T400 4 GB at an average score of 16792, which is 0.6% higher, and the NVIDIA T400 at 16508, which is 1.1% lower. The RTX 5070 SUPER, however, is surrounded by much weaker cards: the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M at 2664 (1% lower), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 at 2662 (1.1% lower), the Intel Arc Pro B50 at 2660 (1.1% lower), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 at 2645 (1.7% lower). The single 3DMark score of 2690 places it in that low-performance company, which drags its percentile down accordingly.

The head-to-head benchmark table confirms that the RTX 5070 SUPER wins the only shared test, giving it 1 win out of 1 possible matchups. The RX 7600S has 0 wins in this comparison. But the data set is thin, and the two cards have almost no overlap in their recorded workloads beyond the single 3DMark run.

The Verdict

The data shows a clear winner in the one benchmark where both GPUs have results. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER beats the AMD Radeon RX 7600S by 29.8% in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, scoring 2690 against 1888. Anyone selecting purely on that metric should choose the NVIDIA card. However, the verdict is not that simple, because the database records a much broader set of results for the AMD part, and those results are strong across compute and legacy DirectX workloads.

The RX 7600S is a mobile GPU with a 75 W TDP, positioned for thin and light laptops. Its percentile rank of 60 means it sits above the median for all recorded GPUs. The RTX 5070 SUPER is a desktop card with a 275 W TDP and a dual-slot cooler, and its 18th percentile rank reflects its limited benchmark coverage rather than its absolute performance. The 3DMark result, though, is the only direct apples-to-apples comparison available, and it favors NVIDIA decisively.

For users focused on the single recorded DirectX 12 workload, the RTX 5070 SUPER is the stronger part. For users who rely on Geekbench OpenCL or Vulkan performance, the RX 7600S has demonstrated capability with scores of 68012 and 73868 respectively, though no comparable NVIDIA numbers exist in the database. The absence of matching test coverage means a full verdict is impossible. What the data does show is that the RTX 5070 SUPER delivers a significantly higher 3DMark Steel Nomad score, while the RX 7600S offers a wider range of confirmed benchmark results across multiple APIs.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and process nodes. The AMD Radeon RX 7600S uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0, manufactured by TSMC on a 6 nm process.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER wins the only direct head-to-head benchmark. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2690 beats the AMD part by 29.8%. It also dominates on raw specifications: 6400 shading units, 50 ray tracing cores, 200 tensor cores, 18 GB of GDDR7 memory, 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth, and 32.15 TFLOPS of FP32 throughput. The 5 nm process, PCIe 5.0 interface, and dual-slot desktop cooler with 275 W TDP indicate a high-performance desktop part. The recorded data confirms a decisive win in the shared DirectX 12 workload.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600S wins where the database has broader coverage. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 73868 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 68012 show strong compute performance. The Passmark G3D score of 15408 and Passmark GPU Compute score of 6520 add to that picture. The 60th percentile ranking places it above most recorded GPUs, while the RTX 5070 SUPER sits at the 18th percentile, although that ranking is based on limited data. The RX 7600S also wins on efficiency in terms of power draw, with a 75 W TDP versus 275 W, and it requires no external power connectors. Its 6 nm node, 204 mm² die, and 13,300 million transistors make it a compact mobile solution.

For use cases, the split is clear. The RTX 5070 SUPER is the choice for the single measured DirectX 12 workload, with 42.5% higher absolute performance in 3DMark Steel Nomad. The RX 7600S is the choice for Vulkan and OpenCL compute workloads, based on its confirmed scores of 73868 and 68012, and for systems with strict power and space constraints, given its 75 W TDP and IGP form factor. The memory difference also points to different roles: 18 GB of GDDR7 suits large datasets, while 8 GB of GDDR6 serves modest workloads. The data does not provide enough overlapping benchmarks to declare a universal winner, but each GPU has its own domain.
