AMD Radeon RX 7700S vs NVIDIA B200 SXM6 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded database contains benchmark results for the AMD Radeon RX 7700S across three tests, while the NVIDIA B200 SXM6 has no recorded benchmark scores. This means direct head-to-head comparisons rely on the available data, which shows a clear asymmetry. The AMD Radeon RX 7700S produces a 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 2185, a Geekbench OpenCL score of 62983, and a Geekbench Vulkan score of 36380. Its average benchmark score is 33849, placing it in the 78th percentile among all GPUs in the database.

The NVIDIA B200 SXM6, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 0 and sits in the 50th percentile, with no entries in any of the three benchmark categories. The absence of scores does not indicate a performance failure; rather, the database has no recorded measurements for this unit. The data shows the AMD part is the only one with measurable results in these specific tests. When examining the nearest rivals for the AMD Radeon RX 7700S, the delta percentages are small. It trails the AMD Radeon HD 7950 by 0.3% and the AMD Radeon RX 480 by 0.4%, while leading the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 5 GB by 0.5% and the NVIDIA RTX A5000 by 0.7%. These margins are narrow, indicating the RX 7700S clusters tightly with those older or workstation-oriented parts in average score.

For the B200 SXM6, no nearest rivals are listed, and its average score of 0 means it cannot be positioned relative to other GPUs in the database. The head-to-head benchmark array is empty, and the win counts for both items are zero. Benchmark results indicate that any comparison of raw performance between these two accelerators is not possible from the recorded data alone. What the data does confirm is the RX 7700S has a measurable performance profile, while the B200 SXM6 is a blank slate in this database.

The Verdict

The data presents two fundamentally different products. The AMD Radeon RX 7700S is a mobile GPU with measurable benchmark scores, a complete API stack, and a 78th percentile ranking among all GPUs. Its average benchmark score of 33849 places it within 1% of several older or workstation parts, including the AMD Radeon HD 7950, AMD Radeon RX 480, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 5 GB, and NVIDIA RTX A5000. The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 is a server module with no benchmark results, no API support, and a 50th percentile ranking. It has a much higher transistor count, larger memory pool, and higher FP32 throughput on paper, but the database contains no performance measurements to validate those specifications in practice.

For users seeking a GPU with recorded, verifiable performance, the AMD Radeon RX 7700S is the only option with data. For users who require the massive memory capacity, tensor core count, and server-oriented design of the B200 SXM6, the specifications are present, but the lack of benchmark scores means its real-world standing cannot be assessed. The verdict from the recorded data is clear: the RX 7700S has a validated performance profile, while the B200 SXM6 is an unmeasured specification sheet.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 7700S wins in any comparison that relies on available benchmark data. It has three recorded test scores, a nonzero average, and a percentile rank that places it in the upper tier of the database. It also wins on API compatibility, supporting DirectX 12 Ultimate, OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, while the B200 SXM6 supports none of these. The RX 7700S also leads in pixel rate at 160.0 GPixel/s versus 43.92 GPixel/s, and it has a higher base clock and boost clock than the B200 SXM6.

The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 wins on raw specification count. It has more shading units, texture mapping units, and tensor cores. Its memory capacity of 180 GB is far larger, and its bandwidth of 8.19 TB/s is substantially higher. FP32 and FP16 performance are both higher at 69.34 TFLOPS. The B200 SXM6 also has a higher transistor density and a larger die. It uses a newer process node at 5 nm versus 6 nm, and it has a PCIe 6.0 x16 interface versus PCIe 4.0 x16. Its TDP is higher, and it is designed for server deployment with no display outputs, whereas the RX 7700S is a mobile part with portable device dependent outputs.

The use-case split is straightforward. The RX 7700S wins for any application requiring measured benchmark results, client-side graphics APIs, or mobile integration. The B200 SXM6 wins for server workloads that need massive memory, tensor core acceleration, and high compute throughput, provided the lack of benchmark data is acceptable to the user.
