AMD Radeon RX 7700S vs NVIDIA Quadro GV100 Comparison

FAQ

Q: Which GPU has the higher average benchmark score?

A: The NVIDIA Quadro GV100 has an average benchmark score of 35,520, while the AMD Radeon RX 7700S averages 33,849. That puts the Quadro about 4.9% ahead in aggregate performance across all recorded tests.

Q: How do the two compare in Geekbench OpenCL performance?

A: The Quadro GV100 scores 150,004 in Geekbench OpenCL, versus 62,983 for the RX 7700S. The delta is 138.2% in favor of the NVIDIA card, making it more than twice as fast in that compute workload.

Q: What about Vulkan performance?

A: The gap widens further in Geekbench Vulkan. The Quadro GV100 posts 139,526, while the RX 7700S manages only 36,380. That is a 283.5% advantage for the NVIDIA GPU — nearly four times the score.

Q: Which GPU has more memory and bandwidth?

A: The Quadro GV100 ships with 32 GB of HBM2 on a 4096-bit bus, delivering 868.4 GB/s bandwidth. The RX 7700S has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing 288.0 GB/s. The Quadro leads by 4x in capacity and roughly 3x in bandwidth.

Q: Are there any benchmarks where the RX 7700S wins?

A: In the head-to-head benchmark set, the RX 7700S wins zero tests. The Quadro GV100 wins both recorded comparisons (Geekbench OpenCL and Geekbench Vulkan).

Q: How do their overall percentile rankings differ?

A: The Quadro GV100 sits at the 80th percentile among all GPUs, while the RX 7700S is at the 78th percentile. Despite the large per-test deltas, the percentile gap is modest — just two points.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ in nearly every physical and electrical specification. The Quadro GV100 uses a 12 nm process, while the RX 7700S uses 6 nm. Transistor counts diverge sharply: 21,100 million for the GV100 versus 13,300 million for the RX 7700S. Die size is also lopsided — 815 mm² versus 204 mm² — which translates to a transistor density of 25.9M per mm² for NVIDIA and 65.2M per mm² for AMD.

Clock speeds tell a different story. The Quadro has a base clock of 1132 MHz and boost of 1627 MHz, while the RX 7700S runs at 1500 MHz base and 2500 MHz boost. The AMD card also lists a game clock of 2200 MHz. Memory clocks are 848 MHz (1696 Mbps effective) for the Quadro and 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective) for the RX 7700S.

Power draw is a major differentiator. The GV100 is rated at 250 W TDP with a dual-slot cooler and one 8-pin power connector, plus a 600 W suggested PSU. The RX 7700S is an IGP (integrated graphics package) at 100 W TDP with no power connectors and no suggested PSU listed. The Quadro uses PCIe 3.0 x16, while the RX 7700S uses PCIe 4.0 x16. Display outputs are 4x DisplayPort 1.4a on the Quadro versus "Portable Device Dependent" on the AMD part. Physical dimensions exist only for the Quadro: 267 mm length and 111 mm height.

Production status differs: the GV100 is end-of-life, released March 2018, with the Quadro Pascal as predecessor and Quadro Turing as successor. The RX 7700S is active, released January 2023, with Polaris Mobile as predecessor and no successor listed.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split is fundamental. The Quadro GV100 uses the Volta architecture with the GV100 chip, built on TSMC 12 nm. The RX 7700S uses RDNA 3.0 with the Navi 33 chip (codenamed "Hotpink Bonefish"), built on TSMC 6 nm.

Core configurations are vastly different. The GV100 has 5,120 shading units, 320 TMUs, and 128 ROPs. The RX 7700S has 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. The Quadro also includes 640 tensor cores, while the AMD card has no tensor cores but instead includes 32 ray tracing cores. The RX 7700S is part of the "Navi Mobile (RX 7000M)" generation, while the GV100 belongs to "Quadro Volta (Vx000)".

Memory architecture differs completely. The GV100 uses 32 GB of HBM2 with a 4096-bit bus, yielding 868.4 GB/s bandwidth. The RX 7700S uses 8 GB of GDDR6 with a 128-bit bus, yielding 288.0 GB/s. Pixel rate is 208.3 GPixel/s for NVIDIA versus 160.0 GPixel/s for AMD. Texture rate is 520.6 GTexel/s versus 320.0 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is 16.66 TFLOPS for the GV100 and 20.48 TFLOPS for the RX 7700S. FP16 is 33.32 TFLOPS for the Quadro and 40.96 TFLOPS for the AMD card — both listed at 2:1 ratio.

API support differs in DirectX: the GV100 supports DirectX 12 (12_1), while the RX 7700S supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The head-to-head data is one-sided. Two tests were recorded, and the Quadro GV100 won both. In Geekbench OpenCL, the GV100 scores 150,004 against 62,983 for the RX 7700S — a 138.2% delta. That is more than double the AMD card's output in a compute-oriented workload.

Geekbench Vulkan is even more decisive. The GV100 scores 139,526, while the RX 7700S manages 36,380. The deltaPct is 283.5%, meaning the NVIDIA card delivers nearly four times the performance in this API. This is the single largest gap in the entire comparison.

Context from the nearest-rival data helps interpret these numbers. The GV100's average score of 35,520 places it within 0.2% of the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile (35,435) and 0.9% above the Radeon Pro Duo (35,860). The RX 7700S, at 33,849, sits within 0.3% of the Radeon HD 7950 (33,951) and 0.4% of the Radeon RX 480 (33,997). So while the head-to-head deltas are enormous, the average-score context shows both cards clustering near similar overall performance tiers.

The wins tally is 2 for the Quadro GV100 and 0 for the RX 7700S. There are no individual tests where the AMD card pulls ahead, whether in compute, graphics, or API-specific workloads. The percentile rankings reinforce this: 80th for the GV100 versus 78th for the RX 7700S.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear winner in raw performance. The Quadro GV100 wins both head-to-head benchmarks by margins of 138.2% and 283.5%. It also has 4x the memory capacity (32 GB versus 8 GB) and roughly 3x the memory bandwidth (868.4 GB/s versus 288.0 GB/s). Its average benchmark score is 35,520 versus 33,849 — about 1,671 points higher.

However, the RX 7700S is not without merits. It delivers higher FP32 compute (20.48 TFLOPS versus 16.66 TFLOPS) and higher FP16 (40.96 versus 33.32). It also uses a dramatically smaller die (204 mm² versus 815 mm²) with higher transistor density (65.2M/mm² versus 25.9M/mm²), and it draws 100 W versus 250 W. The AMD card is active and current, while the Quadro is end-of-life.

Choosing between them depends on workload. If the task is compute-heavy, memory-bound, or Vulkan/OpenCL sensitive, the Quadro GV100 is the data-backed pick. If the task is power-constrained, FP32-heavy, or requires modern DirectX 12 Ultimate features, the RX 7700S has measurable advantages. Neither card's nearest-rival list overlaps the other's, which indicates they compete in different performance neighborhoods despite the similar percentiles.
