AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The single recorded head-to-head benchmark places the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 decisively ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE. In 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, the NVIDIA card scores 6269.5, while the AMD card manages 2336. This represents a delta of -62.7% for the AMD part, meaning the NVIDIA card outperforms it by nearly two-thirds in this specific test. The margin is substantial and consistent with the broader average benchmark scores recorded in the database.

Looking at the average benchmark scores, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE posts an average of 42723 across all recorded tests, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 averages 6270. However, these figures require careful interpretation. The AMD card's average includes two benchmark entries (3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and Geekbench OpenCL), while the NVIDIA card's average is drawn from only the single 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result. The Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109 for the AMD card pulls its average upward substantially, which explains why the average scores do not directly reflect the head-to-head disparity.

The percentile rankings further contextualize the performance gap. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE sits at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs in the database, a strong position indicating it outperforms the vast majority of recorded graphics cards. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102, by contrast, sits at the 36th percentile. This low percentile is anomalous given its head-to-head dominance, and it likely reflects the sparse benchmark data available for this particular NVIDIA variant. The nearest rivals for the NVIDIA card include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER with an identical average score of 6270 and a delta of 0%, which suggests the recorded performance is consistent with that newer part.

For the AMD card, its nearest rivals are tightly clustered. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER averages 43223, a delta of -1.2% relative to the AMD card's 42723, meaning the AMD card trails by a hair over one percent. The NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile, and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 all fall within a narrow band from -1.2% to -1.3% of the AMD card's average score. This clustering indicates the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE delivers performance that is highly competitive with a range of mid-to-high-end GPUs, despite losing decisively to the top-tier NVIDIA part in this comparison.

Architecture Differences

The two cards diverge fundamentally in their underlying architectures, process nodes, and chip designs. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, codenamed Hotpink Bonefish. It is fabricated on a 6 nm process at TSMC, with 13,300 million transistors packed into a 204 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 uses the AD102 chip built on Ada Lovelace architecture. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 76,300 million transistors spread across a 609 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 125.3M per mm². The NVIDIA chip carries nearly six times the transistor count and more than double the die area.

The memory subsystems differ substantially. The AMD card ships with 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, delivering 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA card ships with 16 GB of GDDR6X memory on a 256-bit bus, delivering 672.3 GB/s of bandwidth, more than double the AMD card's throughput. The base clocks also differ, with the AMD card running at 1720 MHz base and 2695 MHz boost, while the NVIDIA card runs at 2340 MHz base and 2610 MHz boost. The AMD card introduces a game clock of 2350 MHz, a feature the NVIDIA card does not list.

Compute resources show a stark contrast. The AMD card provides 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 raster operations pipelines, and 32 ray tracing cores. The NVIDIA card provides 8448 shading units, 264 texture mapping units, 96 raster operations pipelines, 66 ray tracing cores, and 264 tensor cores, the latter being absent entirely from the AMD card. The FP32 compute throughput is 22.08 TFLOPS for the AMD card versus 44.10 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA card, exactly double. Both cards support FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32. Pixel rates are 172.5 GPixel/s for AMD and 250.6 GPixel/s for NVIDIA, while texture rates are 345.0 GTexel/s versus 689.0 GTexel/s.

Power and physical specifications also diverge. The AMD card has a TDP of 170 W with a single 8-pin power connector and a suggested PSU of 450 W. The NVIDIA card has a TDP of 285 W with a single 16-pin power connector and a suggested PSU of 600 W. The AMD card is dual-slot, measures 204 mm in length and 115 mm in height. The NVIDIA card is triple-slot, measures 310 mm in length, 140 mm in height, and 61 mm in width. The AMD card uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the NVIDIA card uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs differ as well: the AMD card provides 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while the NVIDIA card provides 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The Verdict

The recorded data presents a clear hierarchy. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 wins the only shared benchmark by a margin of -62.7% relative to the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE. The NVIDIA card doubles the FP32 throughput, offers double the memory capacity, and delivers more than double the memory bandwidth. Its architecture provides tensor cores and nearly double the ray tracing cores, which positions it for workloads that leverage those features. The AMD card counters with a much lower power draw, a smaller physical footprint, and a more recent display output standard in DisplayPort 2.1.

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE holds the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, while the NVIDIA card holds the 36th percentile. This discrepancy highlights the limited benchmark coverage for the NVIDIA part, which has only one recorded test result. The AMD card's nearest rivals all sit within a 1.3% band of its average score, indicating stable, well-measured performance. The NVIDIA card's nearest rival, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, matches its average score exactly, which suggests the recorded performance is reliable despite the sparse data.
