AMD Radeon RX 7600S vs NVIDIA Quadro M2000 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data shows a decisive margin in the two shared benchmark tests. In Geekbench OpenCL, the AMD Radeon RX 7600S scores 68012 against the NVIDIA Quadro M2000's 14588, a 366.2% advantage. The Vulkan result is even more lopsided: 73868 versus 14475, which is a 410.3% lead for the AMD part. These are not close contests; the AMD GPU is ahead by multiples, not percentages in the single digits.

The average benchmark score reinforces this gap. The RX 7600S sits at 16696, while the Quadro M2000 averages 14532. That difference of roughly 14.9% in the aggregate is dwarfed by the head-to-head deltas, but it still places the two cards in different performance tiers. The RX 7600S ranks at the 60th percentile of all GPUs in the database, whereas the Quadro M2000 rests at the 56th percentile. The percentile difference is modest, but the raw score separation in compute workloads is substantial.

Looking at the nearest rivals for each card, the RX 7600S is surrounded by very different hardware. Its closest competitor is the NVIDIA T400 4 GB, which averages 16792, a delta of -0.6% against the AMD card. The NVIDIA T400 (non-4GB variant) scores 16508, putting it 1.1% behind. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 D V2 averages 16504, also 1.2% behind. The NVIDIA Tesla M4 leads slightly at 16932, which is 1.4% ahead of the RX 7600S. These are tight margins, indicating the AMD card sits in a dense cluster of mid-range performers.

The Quadro M2000's nearest rivals tell a similar story of close competition at a lower tier. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 965M averages 14404, just 0.9% behind the Quadro. The AMD Radeon RX Vega 11 averages 14385, a 1% deficit. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX TITAN scores 14373, 1.1% lower. Only the AMD Radeon RX 5500 XT edges ahead at 14692, a 1.1% advantage. The Quadro M2000 is not an outlier in its class; it is firmly within the expected range for its generation and form factor.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 7600S wins every recorded benchmark in the head-to-head comparison. That is two wins out of two shared tests. The Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan results both favor AMD, and both by wide margins. For compute-heavy tasks that rely on OpenCL or Vulkan compute, the data is unambiguous. The RX 7600S delivers 366.2% higher OpenCL performance and 410.3% higher Vulkan performance. If the workload is GPU compute, the AMD card is the clear choice.

The Quadro M2000 has no wins in the recorded head-to-head data. However, its benchmark profile includes only two tests, both of which it loses. The card's strengths, if any, are not captured in these specific workloads. The database shows no test where the Quadro M2000 outperforms the RX 7600S. That said, the Quadro's nearest rivals include the GeForce GTX TITAN, a much older high-end part, which suggests the Quadro still holds its own against hardware from its own era. It is not a competitive option against the RX 7600S, but it is not a failure within its own peer group.

For gaming or general 3D rendering, the RX 7600S has additional benchmark data points that the Quadro lacks. The AMD card scores 15408 in Passmark G3D, 776 in Passmark G2D, 6520 in Passmark GPU Compute, and 211 in Passmark DirectX 9. The Quadro M2000 has no recorded Passmark results, so a direct comparison in those tests is impossible. The available data, though, strongly favors the AMD part in every shared metric.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations, and the gap in their specifications reflects that. The AMD Radeon RX 7600S uses the Navi 33 chip, built on RDNA 3.0, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It belongs to the Navi Mobile (RX 7000M) generation. The process node is 6 nm at TSMC, with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die. The transistor density is 65.2M per mm².

The NVIDIA Quadro M2000 uses the GM206 chip, based on Maxwell 2.0, and belongs to the Quadro Maxwell (Mx000) generation. The process node is 28 nm, also at TSMC, with 2,940 million transistors on a 228 mm² die. The transistor density is 12.9M per mm². The architectural gap is enormous: RDNA 3.0 versus Maxwell 2.0 is a difference of roughly seven years of GPU design.

Clock speeds tell a similar story. The RX 7600S has a base clock of 1500 MHz, a boost clock of 2200 MHz, and a game clock of 1865 MHz. Its memory runs at 2000 MHz, with 16 Gbps effective. The Quadro M2000 has a base clock of 796 MHz and a boost of 1163 MHz, with memory at 1653 MHz and 6.6 Gbps effective. The AMD card is clocked far higher, and its memory bandwidth reflects that: 256.0 GB/s versus 105.8 GB/s.

The compute resources are also heavily skewed. The RX 7600S has 1792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 raster operation units, and 28 ray tracing cores. The Quadro M2000 has 768 shading units, 48 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores. The pixel rate is 140.8 GPixel/s for AMD versus 37.22 GPixel/s for NVIDIA. The texture rate is 246.4 GTexel/s versus 55.82 GTexel/s. FP32 performance is 15.77 TFLOPS versus 1.786 TFLOPS. The RX 7600S also supports FP16 at 31.54 TFLOPS (2:1), a feature the Quadro M2000 lacks entirely.

Memory configuration differs as well. The RX 7600S has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, while the Quadro M2000 has 4 GB of GDDR5 on the same 128-bit bus. The AMD card doubles the capacity and nearly triples the bandwidth. Both cards share a 75 W TDP, which is notable given the performance gap. The RX 7600S is an integrated form factor (IGP) with no power connectors, while the Quadro M2000 is a single-slot card with no power connectors and a suggested PSU of 250 W. The bus interface is PCIe 4.0 x16 for AMD and PCIe 3.0 x16 for NVIDIA.

API support is another differentiator. The RX 7600S supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The Quadro M2000 supports DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The DirectX feature level is lower on the NVIDIA card, which matters for newer games and workloads that rely on DX12 Ultimate features. The Quadro has four DisplayPort 1.2 outputs, while the RX 7600S's display outputs are listed as portable device dependent, reflecting its laptop-oriented design.

The Verdict

The data is clear: the AMD Radeon RX 7600S is the superior GPU in every recorded benchmark. It wins both head-to-head tests, and the margins are so large that the Quadro M2000 is not a viable alternative for compute workloads. The RX 7600S delivers 366.2% higher OpenCL scores and 410.3% higher Vulkan scores. Its average benchmark score of 16696 is 14.9% higher than the Quadro's 14532. The percentile ranking also favors AMD, at 60 versus 56.

For users who need a laptop GPU for modern gaming, compute, or any workload that leverages DirectX 12 Ultimate or ray tracing, the RX 7600S is the only sensible choice. The Quadro M2000's Maxwell architecture is over a decade old in design terms, with a 28 nm process, no ray tracing cores, and a DirectX feature level of 12_1. Its only advantages are its single-slot form factor and four DisplayPort 1.2 outputs, which may matter for specific professional setups that require multiple fixed display connections.

The Quadro M2000 remains competitive within its own peer group, as shown by its close margins against the GeForce GTX 965M and GeForce GTX TITAN. But against the RX 7600S, it is outclassed in every measurable way. The production status confirms the situation: the RX 7600S is active, while the Quadro M2000 is end-of-life. For any new deployment, the AMD card is the data-backed recommendation.
