AMD Radeon RX 9060 vs NVIDIA B200 SXM6 Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains no directly comparable benchmark results for the AMD Radeon RX 9060 and the NVIDIA B200 SXM6. The RX 9060 has a substantial set of recorded tests, including 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12, Geekbench OpenCL and Vulkan, and multiple Passmark DirectX and compute workloads. The B200 SXM6, by contrast, has no benchmark entries at all in the database, and its average benchmark score is listed as 0, placing it at the 50th percentile versus all GPUs. The RX 9060, with an average benchmark score of 16,014, sits at the 59th percentile.

Without head-to-head test data, the analysis must rely on the individual recorded scores for the RX 9060 and the architectural specifications of the B200 SXM6. The RX 9060's best recorded result is in Geekbench OpenCL at 88,183 points, followed by its Vulkan score of 39,476. In Passmark workloads, the RX 9060 scores 17,631 in G3D, 9,919 in GPU compute, 1,002 in G2D, 280 in DirectX 9, 182 in DirectX 11, 104 in DirectX 10, and 44 in DirectX 12. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 result is 3,322.

The B200 SXM6 has no recorded scores to compare against these figures. Its only database entry for performance is the absence of benchmarks, an average score of 0, and a 50th percentile ranking. The two products cannot be directly ranked against each other using measured test results, as the data for one is entirely missing.

The nearest rivals for the RX 9060 provide context for its performance tier. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti has an average score of 16,129, which is 0.7% higher than the RX 9060's 16,014, making the RX 9060 effectively a statistical tie with that card. The AMD Radeon R9 370X averages 15,862, which is 1% lower, and the AMD Radeon RX 7700 averages 15,852, also 1% lower. The AMD Radeon Pro W5500 averages 15,679, which is 2.1% lower. These deltas place the RX 9060 in a narrow performance band around the 16,000 average score mark, with all nearest rivals within roughly 2 percentage points.

For the B200 SXM6, the lack of rivals and benchmarks means no delta comparisons exist. The recorded data simply shows a product with no test coverage, which limits any head-to-head numerical walkthrough to the RX 9060's results and the B200's absence of them.

Where Each One Wins

The RX 9060 wins in every category where recorded data exists, purely because the B200 SXM6 has no benchmark entries. The RX 9060's 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 score of 3,322 indicates a DirectX 12 gaming workload capability. Its Geekbench scores, 88,183 in OpenCL and 39,476 in Vulkan, show strong compute and cross-API performance. The Passmark suite shows a mixed profile: the G3D score of 17,631 is the highest among the Passmark graphics tests, while the GPU compute score of 9,919 indicates general compute throughput. The legacy DirectX tests show lower results, with DirectX 9 at 280, DirectX 11 at 182, DirectX 10 at 104, and DirectX 12 at 44, suggesting that the RX 9060's architecture is optimized for modern workloads rather than older APIs.

The B200 SXM6, with no recorded scores, cannot claim any benchmark win. Its specifications, however, suggest a different purpose. The 69.34 TFLOPS FP32 and FP16 (1:1) performance, the 8.19 TB/s memory bandwidth, and the 180 GB HBM3e memory capacity point toward data center and server workloads, not the client-level graphics tests that the RX 9060 runs. The B200's lack of display outputs and its SXM Module form factor reinforce this distinction.

The wins, therefore, are entirely one-sided in the recorded data. The RX 9060 wins all 10 benchmark entries it has, while the B200 has zero wins by virtue of having zero entries. This does not mean the B200 is inferior in real-world performance; it means the database has no comparative measurements for it. The RX 9060's wins are against its own baseline and its nearest rivals, not against the B200.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different companies, architectures, and design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 9060 uses the Navi 44 chip, built on RDNA 4.0 architecture, with the codename Strix Point, and belongs to the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation. It is fabricated on a 4 nm process at TSMC, with 29,700 million transistors on a 199 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 149.2 million per square millimeter. The NVIDIA B200 SXM6 uses the GB100 chip, built on Blackwell architecture, and belongs to the Server Blackwell (Bxx) generation. It is fabricated on a 5 nm process at TSMC, with 208,000 million transistors on a 1,628 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 127.8 million per square millimeter. The B200 has nearly 7 times the transistor count and an 8 times larger die area, but lower transistor density due to the older process node.

The clock speeds differ dramatically. The RX 9060 has a base clock of 1700 MHz, a boost clock of 2990 MHz, and a game clock of 2400 MHz. The B200 has a base clock of 120 MHz and a boost clock of 1830 MHz, with no game clock listed. The B200's base clock is extremely low, likely for power management in a server context, while its boost clock is still far below the RX 9060's base.

Memory configurations are vastly different. The RX 9060 uses 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, with a memory clock of 2250 MHz and 18 Gbps effective, yielding a bandwidth of 288.0 GB/s. The B200 uses 180 GB of HBM3e on an 8192-bit bus, with a memory clock of 2000 MHz and 8 Gbps effective, yielding a bandwidth of 8.19 TB/s. The B200 has 28 times more memory and 28 times more bandwidth.

The compute units differ in scale and type. The RX 9060 has 1,792 shading units, 112 texture mapping units, 64 render output units, and 28 ray tracing cores, with no tensor cores listed. The B200 has 18,944 shading units, 592 texture mapping units, 24 render output units, no ray tracing cores listed, and 592 tensor cores. The B200 has 10 times the shading units but far fewer render output units, reflecting a compute-focused design rather than a rasterization-focused one. The pixel rates reflect this: the RX 9060 achieves 191.4 GPixel/s, while the B200 achieves 43.92 GPixel/s. The texture rates are 334.9 GTexel/s for the RX 9060 and 1,083.4 GTexel/s for the B200.

The FP32 and FP16 performance figures are 21.43 TFLOPS for the RX 9060 in both cases (1:1 ratio) and 69.34 TFLOPS for the B200 in both cases (1:1 ratio). The B200 delivers 3.2 times the raw floating-point throughput.

Power and form factor differ entirely. The RX 9060 has a TDP of 132 W, a dual-slot width, a single 8-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 300 W. It uses a PCIe 5.0 x16 bus interface. The B200 has a TDP of 1000 W, an SXM Module form factor, no power connectors listed, and a suggested PSU of 1400 W. It uses a PCIe 6.0 x16 bus interface. The B200 consumes 7.6 times the power.

Display outputs and APIs also differ. The RX 9060 has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 2x DisplayPort 2.1a outputs, and supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The B200 has no display outputs and lists DirectX as N/A, OpenGL as N/A, and Vulkan as N/A.

Release timing and production status: the RX 9060 was released on 2025-08-04, while the B200 was released on 2024-10-31. Both are marked as Active in production. The RX 9060's predecessor is listed as Navi III, while the B200's predecessor is Server Hopper and its successor is Server Rubin.

The Verdict

The data presents a clear split. The RX 9060 is a client graphics card with a full suite of benchmark results, targeting DirectX and Vulkan workloads with a 59th percentile ranking. Its nearest rivals are all within 2.1% of its average score, meaning it sits in a competitive mid-range segment. The B200 SXM6 is a server module with no benchmark coverage, a 50th percentile ranking, and an average score of 0. Its architecture, with 592 tensor cores, 180 GB of HBM3e, and 69.34 TFLOPS, indicates a compute-first design for data center tasks, not for the graphics workloads the RX 9060 runs.

For users looking at the recorded database, the RX 9060 is the only one with measurable performance data. Its 3DMark Steel Nomad score of 3,322 and Geekbench OpenCL score of 88,183 provide concrete reference points. The B200, lacking any recorded tests, cannot be evaluated on the same terms. Its launch MSRP of 34,999 USD and 1000 W TDP place it in a completely different category.

The choice depends on the workload. For client graphics, DirectX, and Vulkan applications, the RX 9060 has the data to back its performance. For server compute with tensor operations and massive memory capacity, the B200's specifications suggest capability, but the database contains no measured results to confirm it. The verdict from the data is that the RX 9060 is the only one with verified benchmark performance, while the B200 remains unmeasured in this database.
