AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains a single direct head-to-head comparison between the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In this benchmark, the NVIDIA card scores 2690 points against 2336 points for the AMD card. The delta is -13.2% from the AMD side, meaning the RTX 5070 SUPER leads by 13.2% in this specific workload. The win count is 1 for NVIDIA and 0 for AMD, so the head-to-head record is entirely one-sided.

Looking at broader benchmark data, the AMD RX 7650 GRE records an average benchmark score of 42723 across its two tests (3DMark Steel Nomad at 2336 and Geekbench OpenCL at 83109). The NVIDIA RTX 5070 SUPER has only one benchmark result in the database, the 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 2690, which also serves as its average benchmark score. The difference in average scores is substantial: 42723 versus 2690, a gap that reflects the different test portfolios rather than pure performance parity.

The percentile rankings further separate the two. The AMD card sits at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, indicating it outperforms the vast majority of recorded graphics cards. The NVIDIA card sits at the 18th percentile, a surprisingly low placement that is heavily influenced by its single benchmark result. In the Steel Nomad DX12 test specifically, the 13.2% advantage for NVIDIA is clear, but the overall database picture shows AMD with a far higher standing.

Nearest rival data for the AMD card places it in competitive territory: it trails the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER by 1.2%, the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB by 1.2%, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile by 1.3%, and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 by 1.3%. These are narrow margins, all within approximately one to two percent. The AMD RX 7650 GRE effectively trades blows with those cards. The NVIDIA RTX 5070 SUPER, by contrast, sits near the NVIDIA Quadro K1100M (1% ahead), the NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030 (1.1% ahead), the Intel Arc Pro B50 (1.1% ahead), and the NVIDIA GeForce GT 440 (1.7% ahead). Those rival comparisons are based on the single Steel Nomad result, so they do not reflect multi-test averages.

Where Each One Wins

The only recorded head-to-head victory belongs to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. That benchmark exercises DirectX 12 rendering with modern geometry and ray-traced effects, and the NVIDIA card delivers a 13.2% higher score. This indicates an advantage in sustained DX12 rasterization and compute workloads as captured by that test.

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has no direct head-to-head wins in the database. However, its multi-test average benchmark score (42723) far exceeds the NVIDIA card's average (2690), largely because the AMD card includes a Geekbench OpenCL score of 83109, which is a general-purpose compute benchmark. The NVIDIA card lacks any OpenCL result, so a direct compute comparison is not possible from the recorded data. The AMD card's 83rd percentile placement versus the NVIDIA card's 18th percentile also suggests that, across the full database of GPUs, the AMD card ranks much higher in aggregate performance.

In terms of specific workloads, the AMD card shows strength in OpenCL compute, as its score of 83109 demonstrates a high level of general-purpose throughput. The NVIDIA card shows strength in the Steel Nomad DX12 test, where it outperforms the AMD card despite the AMD card's higher overall percentile. For users focused on that specific DX12 benchmark, NVIDIA is the clear winner. For users who weight the broader benchmark portfolio, the AMD card's two-test average and percentile placement tell a different story.

Architecture Differences

The two cards come from fundamentally different architectures. The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0, with the codename Hotpink Bonefish, part of the Navi III (RX 7000) generation. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER uses the GB205 chip built on Blackwell 2.0, part of the GeForce 50 generation. The process nodes differ: AMD uses a 6 nm process from TSMC, while NVIDIA uses a 5 nm process from the same foundry. The transistor counts are starkly different: AMD packs 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, while NVIDIA packs 31,100 million transistors on a 263 mm² die. Transistor density reflects this: AMD achieves 65.2 million transistors per square millimeter, NVIDIA achieves 118.3 million, nearly double.

Memory configurations diverge sharply. The AMD card has 8 GB of GDDR6 memory on a 128-bit bus, yielding 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocks at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA card has 18 GB of GDDR7 memory on a 192-bit bus, yielding 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth, with memory clocks at 1750 MHz (28 Gbps effective). The NVIDIA card offers more than twice the memory capacity and more than double the bandwidth.

Compute resources also differ. The AMD card has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 32 ray tracing cores. It has no tensor cores. The NVIDIA card has 6400 shading units, 200 texture mapping units, 80 render output units, 50 ray tracing cores, and 200 tensor cores. NVIDIA's shading unit count is over three times higher, and its tensor core presence is a major architectural addition that AMD lacks in this comparison.

Clock speeds show a mixed picture. The AMD card has a base clock of 1720 MHz, a boost clock of 2695 MHz, and a game clock of 2350 MHz. The NVIDIA card has a base clock of 2325 MHz and a boost clock of 2512 MHz, with no recorded game clock. AMD's boost clock is higher, but NVIDIA's base clock is much higher. Pixel and texture rates follow: AMD delivers 172.5 GPixel/s and 345.0 GTexel/s, while NVIDIA delivers 201.0 GPixel/s and 502.4 GTexel/s. FP32 and FP16 performance are both 22.08 TFLOPS for AMD, while NVIDIA reaches 32.15 TFLOPS for both.

The bus interface differs as well: AMD uses PCIe 4.0 x8, NVIDIA uses PCIe 5.0 x16. Display outputs are similar but not identical: AMD offers 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, NVIDIA offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

Power characteristics are recorded: AMD has a TDP of 170 W and uses a single 8-pin power connector with a suggested PSU of 450 W. NVIDIA has a TDP of 275 W and uses a single 16-pin power connector, with no suggested PSU recorded. Physical dimensions differ: AMD is 204 mm long and 115 mm high, while NVIDIA is 245 mm long, 115 mm high, and 40 mm wide. Both are dual-slot cards.

The Verdict

The recorded data separates these two cards primarily on the single head-to-head benchmark and on architectural scale. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 SUPER wins the only direct comparison, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, by 13.2%. That result aligns with its larger hardware footprint: 31,100 million transistors, 6400 shading units, 200 tensor cores, 18 GB of GDDR7 memory, and 672.0 GB/s of bandwidth. Those are the specifications of a card built for heavy DX12 rendering and compute tasks.

The AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE, however, holds a much higher percentile ranking (83rd versus 18th) and a far higher average benchmark score (42723 versus 2690). That discrepancy stems from the AMD card's inclusion of a Geekbench OpenCL result (83109), which the NVIDIA card lacks. The AMD card also uses less power (170 W versus 275 W), has a smaller physical footprint (204 mm versus 245 mm in length), and carries a lower launch MSRP of 279 USD.

For a buyer prioritizing the specific DX12 workload captured by Steel Nomad, the NVIDIA card is the stronger choice based on its 13.2% lead. For a buyer weighing general compute performance, as reflected in OpenCL, or looking at overall database standing, the AMD card shows better aggregate metrics. The data does not support a universal winner; it supports a workload-specific choice. The NVIDIA card delivers more raw compute resources and memory bandwidth, while the AMD card offers higher percentiles, a broader benchmark record, and lower power requirements.
