AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 Comparison

# AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010

The data in the database shows a decisive split between these two cards: the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE ranks at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 sits at the 18th percentile. The RX 7650 GRE is positioned in the upper tier of the performance spectrum, whereas the RTX 4010 occupies the lower end. The recorded benchmark results confirm that the NVIDIA card wins the single shared test, but the overall database profile places the AMD card in a far superior performance class.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only directly comparable benchmark in the database is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In that test, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 scores 2893 points, while the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE scores 2336 points. The delta is -19.3% from the AMD card to the NVIDIA card, which means the RTX 4010 outperforms the RX 7650 GRE by roughly 19% in this specific workload. This is a substantial margin, and it indicates that the NVIDIA architecture handles this particular DX12 render scenario more efficiently than the AMD implementation.

However, the broader database picture complicates that single result. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has an average benchmark score of 42723 across its recorded tests, which includes both the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result and a Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 has an average benchmark score of 2893, which is derived solely from the single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. The RX 7650 GRE's nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (average score 43223, delta -1.2%), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43262, -1.2%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43268, -1.3%), and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43301, -1.3%). Those deltas show the RX 7650 GRE trailing each of those cards by only about 1%, placing it firmly in the company of high-end desktop and professional GPUs.

The RTX 4010's nearest rivals are the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB (average score 2907, delta -0.5%), the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell SFF (2910, -0.6%), the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 8 GB (2913, -0.7%), and the NVIDIA Quadro P600 (2923, -1%). The RTX 4010 sits within 1% of those cards, which places it in the same performance band as mainstream and entry-level products. The data shows two cards that occupy entirely different performance tiers, despite the NVIDIA card winning the one head-to-head test that the database recorded.

The Geekbench OpenCL result for the AMD card, 83109 points, is not matched by any corresponding result for the NVIDIA card in the database, so no direct comparison is possible there. The single head-to-head result, though, is unambiguous: the RTX 4010 delivers a 19.3% higher score in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12.

The Verdict

The data indicates that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 is the stronger choice for the specific 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 workload, where it beats the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE by 19.3%. That single result, however, does not define the overall product position. The RX 7650 GRE sits at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs and carries an average benchmark score of 42723, placing it near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER, which scores 43223. The RTX 4010 sits at the 18th percentile with an average score of 2893, placing it near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 Ti 16 GB, which scores 2907.

The database profile strongly favors the AMD card for general compute and overall performance class. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109 for the RX 7650 GRE demonstrates substantial compute throughput, and its FP32 throughput of 22.08 TFLOPS versus 2.706 TFLOPS for the RTX 4010 shows a roughly 8.2x difference in raw shader math. The RTX 4010 is a low-power, single-slot card with a 50 W TDP, while the RX 7650 GRE is a dual-slot card with a 170 W TDP. The RTX 4010 draws only 50 W and requires no power connector, while the RX 7650 GRE needs a single 8-pin connector and a 450 W suggested PSU.

The choice depends on the workload. For the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark specifically, the RTX 4010 delivers the higher score. For everything else in the database, the RX 7650 GRE is the card with the far higher performance ceiling, larger memory pool, and better overall standing among all GPUs.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4010 wins in the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark, scoring 2893 against 2336 for the AMD card. That makes it the preferred card for that specific render workload, and its 50 W TDP with no power connector makes it suitable for systems with minimal power delivery capacity. Its single-slot, 163 mm length profile fits in compact chassis, and its 24 tensor cores provide dedicated AI acceleration hardware that the AMD card lacks.

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE wins in overall performance class, sitting at the 83rd percentile versus the 18th percentile for the NVIDIA card. Its 8 GB memory capacity is double that of the RTX 4010, and its 288.0 GB/s bandwidth is triple the NVIDIA card's 96.00 GB/s. The FP32 throughput of 22.08 TFLOPS versus 2.706 TFLOPS gives the AMD card a roughly 8.2x advantage in raw shader compute. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109 indicates strong general-purpose compute performance. The RX 7650 GRE also carries a launch MSRP of 279 USD, while the RTX 4010 has no recorded launch price.

For users who prioritize the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result, the RTX 4010 is the clear winner. For users who need higher memory capacity, greater bandwidth, more shading units, and a much higher overall database standing, the RX 7650 GRE is the card the data supports. The two cards are not direct competitors; the RTX 4010 is a low-power compact option that happens to win one benchmark, while the RX 7650 GRE is a mainstream card with a far stronger aggregate profile.
