AMD Radeon RX 7700S vs NVIDIA TITAN V Comparison

Where Each One Wins

The benchmark data paints a clear picture: the NVIDIA TITAN V wins every single head-to-head test in this comparison. Out of three direct benchmark comparisons, the TITAN V takes all three, while the AMD Radeon RX 7700S records zero victories. This is not a close contest by any measure.

The largest margin comes in the Geekbench Vulkan test. The TITAN V scores 152,117, while the RX 7700S manages only 36,380. That represents a 318.1% advantage for the NVIDIA card. In practical terms, the TITAN V delivers more than four times the Vulkan compute performance of the AMD mobile GPU. This is the kind of gap that defines entirely different performance tiers.

The Geekbench OpenCL test shows a similar pattern, though less extreme. The TITAN V posts 157,265 points against the RX 7700S’s 62,983, a 149.7% lead. Again, the NVIDIA card more than doubles the AMD part’s output. OpenCL workloads favor the TITAN V’s massive compute architecture, which makes sense given its 5,120 shading units and 640 tensor cores.

The 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test is the closest of the three, but the TITAN V still wins decisively. It scores 3,565 versus 2,185 for the RX 7700S, a 63.2% advantage. This is a modern DirectX 12 gaming workload, and while the gap narrows compared to the compute tests, the TITAN V still holds a comfortable lead.

Looking at overall averages, the TITAN V has an average benchmark score of 34,355 across all recorded tests, while the RX 7700S averages 33,849. That is a difference of roughly 1.5%, placing both cards in a similar overall performance percentile — the TITAN V sits at the 79th percentile of all GPUs, and the RX 7700S sits at the 78th. The average scores are close because the RX 7700S only has three benchmark entries, all of which are lower than the TITAN V’s corresponding scores, but the TITAN V has ten benchmark results that include several older DirectX tests where it scores relatively low.

The Verdict

The data supports only one conclusion: the NVIDIA TITAN V is the superior performer in every measured category. If the selection criterion is raw benchmark performance, the TITAN V is the clear choice. Its nearest rivals in the overall database include the NVIDIA RTX A1000 with an average score of 34,207 (0.4% behind) and the AMD Radeon HD 7970 at 34,541 (0.5% ahead). The RX 7700S, meanwhile, sits near the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 5 GB, which scores 33,694 (0.5% behind the RX 7700S).

For users prioritizing compute-heavy workloads — OpenCL or Vulkan — the TITAN V is overwhelmingly the better option. Its 149.7% OpenCL lead and 318.1% Vulkan lead leave no room for ambiguity. Even in the gaming-oriented DX12 test, the TITAN V maintains a 63.2% margin.

However, there is a practical caveat in the data. The TITAN V is an end-of-life desktop product with a 250 W TDP and dual-slot cooler, requiring a 600 W power supply and dual power connectors. The RX 7700S is an active mobile GPU with a 100 W TDP, integrated into portable devices with no separate power connectors. The TITAN V also has a launch MSRP of 2,999 USD.

So the verdict splits by use case. For desktop workstations where power and space are not constraints, and where maximum compute throughput matters, the TITAN V wins outright. For portable systems where the GPU must fit within a laptop chassis and a 100 W thermal budget, the RX 7700S is the only viable option between these two — the TITAN V cannot be installed in such a device at all.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The three direct comparisons reveal the full extent of the TITAN V’s dominance. Starting with the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the TITAN V scores 3,565 against the RX 7700S’s 2,185. The 63.2% delta means the NVIDIA card renders this scene at roughly 1.6 times the frame throughput of the AMD part. This test exercises DirectX 12 features, where the TITAN V’s 96 ROPs and 320 TMUs provide substantial rasterization headroom.

The Geekbench OpenCL test shows an even larger gap. The TITAN V’s 157,265 score dwarfs the RX 7700S’s 62,983, a 149.7% difference. OpenCL compute performance relies heavily on raw shading unit count and memory bandwidth. The TITAN V has 5,120 shading units and 651.3 GB/s of HBM2 bandwidth, while the RX 7700S has 2,048 shading units and 288.0 GB/s of GDDR6 bandwidth. The compute advantage is baked into the architecture.

The Vulkan test is where the TITAN V truly runs away with it. A score of 152,117 versus 36,380 translates to a 318.1% lead — the TITAN V delivers more than four times the Vulkan performance. Vulkan’s low-level API overhead rewards cards with massive parallel compute resources, and the TITAN V’s Volta architecture with 640 tensor cores and 21,100 million transistors on an 815 mm² die is purpose-built for this kind of workload. The RX 7700S, with 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, simply lacks the raw compute density.

It is importantly the RX 7700S has no recorded results in the PassMark DirectX 9, 10, 11, 12, G2D, or G3D tests, nor in the PassMark GPU compute test. The TITAN V has all of these, with scores ranging from 81 in DirectX 12 to 19,805 in G3D and 9,263 in GPU compute. The absence of RX 7700S data in these legacy tests means the comparison is limited to the three modern benchmarks, but in those, the outcome is uniform.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from fundamentally different design philosophies. The TITAN V uses the GV100 chip built on Volta architecture, manufactured on a 12 nm process at TSMC. It packs 21,100 million transistors onto an 815 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 25.9 million per square millimeter. This is a massive, high-power desktop chip designed for maximum compute throughput.

The RX 7700S uses the Navi 33 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving it a transistor density of 65.2 million per square millimeter — more than double the TITAN V’s density. This is a modern, efficient mobile chip designed to fit within laptop thermal constraints.

The TITAN V belongs to the GeForce 10 generation, with its predecessor being the GeForce 900 series and its successor the GeForce 20 series. The RX 7700S belongs to the Radeon RX 7000 series, with its predecessor being the Polaris Mobile generation. The TITAN V is end-of-life, while the RX 7700S is active in production.

Compute resources differ sharply. The TITAN V has 5,120 shading units, 320 TMUs, 96 ROPs, and 640 tensor cores, but no dedicated ray tracing cores. The RX 7700S has 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores, but no tensor cores. The TITAN V’s tensor cores give it a significant edge in AI and machine learning workloads, while the RX 7700S’s ray tracing cores support DirectX 12 Ultimate features.

The TITAN V supports DirectX 12 (12_1), while the RX 7700S supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2). Both support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. The TITAN V uses a PCIe 3.0 x16 interface, while the RX 7700S uses PCIe 4.0 x16.

Specification Differences

The specifications where these two cards differ are extensive. The TITAN V has a base clock of 1200 MHz and a boost clock of 1455 MHz, while the RX 7700S has a base clock of 1500 MHz, a boost clock of 2500 MHz, and a game clock of 2200 MHz. The AMD card runs significantly faster, yet still loses on performance due to the TITAN V’s vastly larger compute resources.

Memory differs in every aspect. The TITAN V has 12 GB of HBM2 with a 3072-bit bus and 651.3 GB/s bandwidth. The RX 7700S has 8 GB of GDDR6 with a 128-bit bus and 288.0 GB/s bandwidth. The memory clock also differs: the TITAN V runs at 848 MHz (1696 Mbps effective), while the RX 7700S runs at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective).

The TITAN V’s pixel rate is 139.7 GPixel/s and texture rate is 465.6 GTexel/s. The RX 7700S has a pixel rate of 160.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 320.0 GTexel/s. The RX 7700S wins on pixel throughput, but the TITAN V wins on texture throughput.

FP32 compute is 14.90 TFLOPS for the TITAN V and 20.48 TFLOPS for the RX 7700S. FP16 compute is 29.80 TFLOPS (2:1) for the TITAN V and 40.96 TFLOPS (2:1) for the RX 7700S. Despite lower raw TFLOPS, the TITAN V achieves higher real-world benchmark scores, indicating that raw FLOP counts do not tell the full story.

Power and physical specifications diverge completely. The TITAN V has a 250 W TDP, is dual-slot, uses 1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin power connectors, requires a 600 W PSU, and measures 267 mm in length, 112 mm in height, and 40 mm in width. The RX 7700S has a 100 W TDP, is an IGP (integrated graphics processor), uses no power connectors, has no suggested PSU, and has no recorded dimensions — it is designed for portable devices.

Display outputs also differ: the TITAN V offers 1x HDMI 2.0 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the RX 7700S is listed as "Portable Device Dependent." The TITAN V has a launch MSRP of 2,999 USD, while the RX 7700S has no recorded launch MSRP.
