AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The data splits these two cards cleanly by performance tier. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER wins both recorded head-to-head benchmarks, with no wins recorded for the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE in that direct comparison. However, the AMD card occupies a very different position in the database's overall rankings, sitting at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs compared to the NVIDIA card's 76th percentile. That percentile gap is notable because the AMD card's average benchmark score of 42,723 actually exceeds the NVIDIA card's average of 31,087, despite losing the two specific tests where both were measured.

The practical takeaway is that the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER dominates in the specific workloads captured by the head-to-head tests, particularly DirectX 12 and OpenCL compute. The RX 7650 GRE, by contrast, appears stronger across the broader database average, which includes a wider mix of older APIs and synthetic workloads. For a builder targeting modern DirectX 12 titles, the NVIDIA card's 3DMark Steel Nomad result is decisive. For someone running a mixed workload that includes legacy DirectX tests or general compute, the AMD card's higher average score across all recorded benchmarks suggests it holds up better in less demanding scenarios.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from entirely different design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip on TSMC's 6 nm process, part of the RDNA 3.0 architecture with the codename Hotpink Bonefish. It packs 13,300 million transistors onto a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER uses the AD103 chip on TSMC's 5 nm process, built on Ada Lovelace. It carries 45,900 million transistors across a 379 mm² die, for a density of 121.1 million per square millimeter. That is nearly double the transistor density, and the NVIDIA chip has over three times the transistor count.

The memory subsystems diverge sharply. The AMD card uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA card uses 16 GB of GDDR6X on a 256-bit bus, delivering 672.3 GB/s, which is more than double the bandwidth. Clock behavior also differs: the AMD card boosts to 2695 MHz with a base of 1720 MHz and a game clock of 2350 MHz, while the NVIDIA card has a higher base of 2340 MHz but a slightly lower boost of 2610 MHz. The AMD memory runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective), while the NVIDIA memory runs at 1313 MHz (21 Gbps effective).

Compute resources are vastly different. The AMD card has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA card has 8448 shading units, 264 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 66 RT cores, and 264 tensor cores. The AMD card has no tensor cores listed. Raw throughput figures reflect this: the AMD card delivers 22.08 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 (1:1), while the NVIDIA card delivers 44.10 TFLOPS in both, exactly double. Pixel rate is 172.5 GPixel/s for AMD versus 250.6 GPixel/s for NVIDIA, and texture rate is 345.0 GTexel/s versus 689.0 GTexel/s.

Power and physical design differ just as much. The AMD card is rated at 170 W TDP, uses a single 8-pin connector, and requires a 450 W suggested power supply. It is dual-slot, 204 mm long, and 115 mm tall. The NVIDIA card is rated at 285 W TDP, uses a single 16-pin connector, and requires a 600 W suggested power supply. It is triple-slot, 310 mm long, 140 mm tall, and 61 mm wide. Both use PCIe 4.0, but the AMD card runs at x8 while the NVIDIA card runs at x16. Display outputs also differ: AMD provides 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while NVIDIA provides 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The two recorded head-to-head tests both go to the NVIDIA card, and the margins are substantial. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER scores 5,569 against the RX 7650 GRE's 2,336. That is a 58.1% deficit for the AMD card, meaning the NVIDIA card delivers more than double the performance in this modern DirectX 12 workload. For a builder targeting current generation games, this single result carries heavy weight.

In Geekbench OpenCL, the NVIDIA card scores 199,267 against the AMD card's 83,109, a 58.3% deficit. The pattern is consistent: the NVIDIA card is roughly 2.4 times faster in both recorded tests. The similarity in delta percentages across two very different workloads (one graphics-focused, one compute-focused) suggests the performance gap is systemic rather than workload-specific. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER does not merely edge ahead; it wins by a wide margin in both scenarios.

However, the database's average benchmark scores tell a different story. The RX 7650 GRE averages 42,723 across all recorded benchmarks, while the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER averages 31,087. The AMD card's nearest rivals include the RTX 4070 SUPER at 43,223 (1.2% higher) and the Quadro M6000 24 GB at 43,262 (1.2% higher). The NVIDIA card's nearest rivals include the Quadro M5000 at 31,206 (0.4% higher) and the GRID M60-1Q at 31,220 (0.4% higher). This inversion, where the card that loses every head-to-head test has a higher overall average, indicates that the AMD card performs relatively better in the broader benchmark suite that includes older DirectX versions and other workloads.

The Verdict

The data supports a clear split by use case. For modern DirectX 12 gaming and heavy compute workloads, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER is the definitive choice. It doubles the AMD card's performance in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 (5,569 versus 2,336) and in Geekbench OpenCL (199,267 versus 83,109), with a 58.1% and 58.3% advantage respectively. It also offers double the FP32 throughput, more than double the memory bandwidth, and 16 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB. The tensor cores and 66 RT cores provide dedicated hardware that the AMD card lacks entirely.

For a builder constrained by physical space or power delivery, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has clear practical advantages. It is a dual-slot card at 204 mm length versus the NVIDIA card's triple-slot 310 mm design. It draws 170 W versus 285 W, requires a 450 W PSU versus 600 W, and uses a standard 8-pin connector rather than a 16-pin. It also supports DisplayPort 2.1, which the NVIDIA card does not. The AMD card's higher average benchmark score (42,723 versus 31,087) and higher percentile ranking (83rd versus 76th) indicate it performs well across a broader range of legacy and mixed workloads.

The production status difference is also relevant. The AMD card is listed as Active, while the NVIDIA card is End-of-life. The NVIDIA card's successor is GeForce 50, while the AMD card's successor is Navi IV. For a new build today, the AMD card is the one still in production.

Choose the NVIDIA card if the workload is modern DirectX 12 gaming, compute-heavy tasks, or anything that benefits from tensor cores and higher VRAM capacity. Choose the AMD card if the build needs a compact, lower-power card that still performs well across a wide range of benchmarks and supports the newest DisplayPort standard. The recorded data does not show a single card winning everything, but it does show which card wins the specific tests that matter most for each scenario.
