AMD Radeon RX 7600S vs NVIDIA TITAN Xp Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The benchmark data is unambiguous: the NVIDIA TITAN Xp wins all 10 recorded head-to-head tests against the AMD Radeon RX 7600S. The margin varies widely by workload, from a narrow 6.2% in Passmark DirectX 12 to a commanding 60.8% in Passmark DirectX 10.

The largest single gap appears in Passmark DirectX 10, where the TITAN Xp scores 119 against the RX 7600S's 74. That 60.8% advantage indicates a substantial lead in legacy API rasterization workloads, likely reflecting the older card's much larger memory bus and raw fillrate capabilities. In Passmark GPU Compute, the TITAN Xp posts 9430 versus 6520, a 44.6% delta. This is the second-largest margin and points to a significant compute throughput advantage despite the RX 7600S having higher peak FP32 figures in its specifications.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, a modern DirectX 12 workload, shows the TITAN Xp at 2372 points versus 1888 points for the RX 7600S, a 25.6% win. This is notable because it demonstrates that the older Pascal architecture is not merely competitive in legacy tests but also holds a clear edge in a contemporary DX12 benchmark. Similarly, Geekbench Vulkan shows an 18% advantage (87180 versus 73868), suggesting the TITAN Xp's driver maturity and raw hardware resources compensate for its architectural age.

Smaller margins appear in Passmark DirectX 11 (152 versus 140, an 8.6% delta), Passmark DirectX 9 (226 versus 211, a 7.1% delta), and Passmark DirectX 12 (69 versus 65, a 6.2% delta). The Geekbench OpenCL result is closest in percentage terms: 72585 versus 68012, a 6.7% win for the TITAN Xp. The Passmark G2D test, which measures 2D graphics and desktop performance, shows a 13.8% advantage (883 versus 776).

The overall picture from the database's average benchmark score confirms this trend. The TITAN Xp averages 19177 points across its benchmark suite, while the RX 7600S averages 16696 points. That is a 14.9% overall gap. The TITAN Xp sits at the 64th percentile of all GPUs in the database, while the RX 7600S sits at the 60th percentile, a modest but real separation in the global ranking.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from vastly different eras and design philosophies. The NVIDIA TITAN Xp uses the GP102 chip on the Pascal architecture, manufactured on TSMC's 16 nm process. It packs 11,800 million transistors onto a substantial 471 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 25.1M per mm². The AMD Radeon RX 7600S uses the Navi 33 chip on the RDNA 3.0 architecture, built on TSMC's 6 nm node. It contains 13,300 million transistors on a much smaller 204 mm² die, achieving a far higher density of 65.2M per mm².

The memory subsystems could not be more different. The TITAN Xp features 12 GB of GDDR5X on a 384-bit bus, delivering 547.6 GB/s of bandwidth. The RX 7600S has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, with 256.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The TITAN Xp's bus width is three times larger, and its bandwidth is more than double that of the RX 7600S. This explains why the older card wins memory-sensitive benchmarks despite its lower clock speeds.

Compute resources diverge sharply. The TITAN Xp has 3840 shading units, 240 texture mapping units, and 96 render output units. The RX 7600S has 1792 shading units, 112 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The TITAN Xp has more than double the shading units and TMUs. However, the RX 7600S adds 28 ray tracing cores, a hardware feature the Pascal card lacks entirely.

Clock speeds tell the opposite story. The RX 7600S runs at a 1500 MHz base clock and boosts to 2200 MHz, with a game clock of 1865 MHz. The TITAN Xp has a 1405 MHz base and 1582 MHz boost. The RX 7600S's higher clocks help it approach the TITAN Xp in some tests, but they cannot overcome the raw resource deficit. The RX 7600S also has a much higher peak FP32 throughput at 15.77 TFLOPS versus the TITAN Xp's 12.15 TFLOPS, a 29.8% theoretical advantage. Its FP16 throughput is 31.54 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the TITAN Xp manages only 189.8 GFLOPS with a 1:64 ratio, an enormous difference in half-precision capability.

Power and physical design reflect the different target segments. The TITAN Xp draws 250 W, requires a 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin power connector, and is a dual-slot card measuring 267 mm in length. The RX 7600S is an integrated graphics package (IGP) with no power connectors and a 75 W TDP, designed for portable devices with display outputs dependent on the host system. The TITAN Xp uses PCIe 3.0 x16, while the RX 7600S uses PCIe 4.0 x16. The RX 7600S supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the TITAN Xp supports DirectX 12 (12_1), a difference in feature level that does not show up in these particular benchmark results.

Where Each One Wins

The data shows no benchmark category where the RX 7600S comes out ahead. Every recorded test, from legacy DirectX 9 to modern Vulkan and DX12, favors the TITAN Xp. That said, the size of the margins tells a useful story about workload characteristics.

The TITAN Xp is at its strongest in legacy API tests and compute-heavy workloads. The 60.8% win in Passmark DirectX 10 and the 44.6% win in Passmark GPU Compute suggest that its massive memory bandwidth and high shader count dominate when the workload stresses raw throughput rather than modern API features. The 25.6% win in 3DMark Steel Nomad and the 18% win in Geekbench Vulkan show that it also holds up well in modern graphics APIs, likely due to its 12 GB frame buffer and 547.6 GB/s bandwidth.

The RX 7600S is the more efficient part. Its 75 W TDP versus 250 W means it delivers a substantial portion of the TITAN Xp's performance at one-third of the power draw. In the closest test, Passmark DirectX 12, the RX 7600S trails by only 6.2%, achieving 65 points versus 69 points. In Geekbench OpenCL, it trails by 6.7%. These smaller gaps suggest that in modern, API-efficient workloads, the architectural advantages of RDNA 3.0 partially compensate for the hardware resource deficit.

For portable or power-constrained systems, the RX 7600S is the only realistic choice, as the TITAN Xp's dual-slot design and 250 W power requirement are not suited to thin laptops. For desktop systems with adequate cooling and power delivery, the TITAN Xp wins every performance metric in the database.

The Verdict

The data is decisive: the NVIDIA TITAN Xp outperforms the AMD Radeon RX 7600S in every recorded benchmark. The overall average score difference is 14.9%, and the TITAN Xp wins individual tests by margins ranging from 6.2% to 60.8%. For anyone prioritizing raw performance, the TITAN Xp is the clear choice based on the benchmark results.

However, the RX 7600S is a fundamentally different product. It is an integrated mobile GPU with a 75 W TDP, no power connectors, and no listed dimensions, designed for portable devices. The TITAN Xp is a dual-slot desktop card requiring a 600 W suggested power supply and a 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin connector. The RX 7600S also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate and includes 28 ray tracing cores, features that the TITAN Xp lacks.

The RX 7600S offers higher peak FP32 (15.77 TFLOPS versus 12.15 TFLOPS) and vastly superior FP16 throughput (31.54 TFLOPS versus 189.8 GFLOPS), but these theoretical advantages do not translate into wins in the recorded benchmark suite. The TITAN Xp's 384-bit memory bus, 12 GB frame buffer, and 547.6 GB/s bandwidth appear to be the decisive factors in actual performance.

In practical terms, the choice depends on the use case. For a desktop workstation or gaming rig with adequate power and space, the TITAN Xp delivers superior performance in every test. For a thin-and-light laptop where power efficiency and physical size are paramount, the RX 7600S is the only viable option, and its performance remains competitive within a third of the power budget. The database's verdict is clear: the TITAN Xp wins on performance, while the RX 7600S wins on efficiency and portability.
