AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE vs NVIDIA TITAN X Pascal Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains one directly comparable benchmark result between these two cards: Geekbench OpenCL. The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE delivers a score of 109,309, while the NVIDIA TITAN X Pascal scores 66,696. That is a 39% advantage for the AMD card, a substantial margin that reflects the generational gap between the two architectures. In this single recorded test, the RX 9070 GRE wins the only head-to-head comparison available.

Looking at broader average scores, the TITAN X Pascal posts an average benchmark score of 72,098, placing it at the 91st percentile among all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals include the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 64 at 72,379 (0.4% higher), the AMD Radeon Vega Frontier Edition at 73,370 (1.7% higher), and the AMD Radeon RX 6650M at 71,768 (0.5% lower). The TITAN X Pascal sits within a tight cluster of similarly performing cards, meaning its raw compute output is competitive with those products despite its age.

The RX 9070 GRE, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 57,367, which places it at the 87th percentile. Its nearest rivals include the Intel Arc A580 at 57,756 (0.7% higher), the AMD Radeon RX 5600 OEM at 58,085 (1.2% higher), the Intel Arc A570M at 58,239 (1.5% higher), and the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT at 58,392 (1.8% higher). This is a curious result: despite the RX 9070 GRE scoring far higher in the OpenCL benchmark, its average across all tests sits below several comparable cards. The discrepancy suggests that the OpenCL result may not be representative of the card's performance in other workloads, or that the database includes tests where the RX 9070 GRE underperforms relative to its peak capabilities.

The data shows a clear split. In the one direct comparison, the RX 9070 GRE is decisively faster. In the broader average, the TITAN X Pascal holds a higher percentile ranking and a higher average score. This is an unusual pattern, and it means buyers should weigh the specific workload against the general trend. For OpenCL-heavy applications, the RX 9070 GRE is the obvious choice. For a card that performs consistently across a wide range of tests, the TITAN X Pascal looks stronger in the aggregate.

Architecture Differences

The NVIDIA TITAN X Pascal uses the GP102 chip built on TSMC's 16 nm process, with 11,800 million transistors packed into a 471 mm² die. The transistor density is 25.1 million per square millimeter. This is a Pascal architecture part from the GeForce 10 generation, released in August 2016. The card uses GDDR5X memory running at 10 Gbps effective, with a 384-bit bus providing 480.4 GB/s of bandwidth.

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE uses the Navi 48 chip built on TSMC's 4 nm process, with 53,900 million transistors on a 357 mm² die. The transistor density is 151.0 million per square millimeter, a massive leap over the Pascal part. This is RDNA 4.0 architecture from the Navi IV (RX 9000) generation, released in May 2025. The card uses GDDR6 memory at 18 Gbps effective, with a 192-bit bus providing 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth.

The RX 9070 GRE has fewer shading units (3,072 versus 3,584) and fewer texture mapping units (192 versus 224), but both cards have 96 ROPs. The AMD card compensates with much higher clock speeds: a base clock of 1,420 MHz and a boost clock of 2,790 MHz, compared to the TITAN X Pascal's 1,417 MHz base and 1,531 MHz boost. The RX 9070 GRE also lists a game clock of 2,220 MHz, a figure the NVIDIA card does not provide.

The result is a large difference in raw compute throughput. The RX 9070 GRE delivers 34.28 TFLOPS of FP32 performance, while the TITAN X Pascal delivers 10.97 TFLOPS. The AMD card also offers FP16 at a 1:1 ratio (34.28 TFLOPS), whereas the TITAN X Pascal provides only 171.5 GFLOPS of FP16, a 1:64 ratio that makes it effectively useless for half-precision workloads. The RX 9070 GRE includes 48 ray tracing cores; the TITAN X Pascal has none.

Memory bandwidth favors the NVIDIA card (480.4 GB/s versus 432.0 GB/s), but the AMD card has a much faster interface: PCIe 5.0 x16 versus PCIe 3.0 x16. The RX 9070 GRE also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), while the TITAN X Pascal is limited to DirectX 12 (12_1). Both cards support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4. Display outputs differ as well: the TITAN X Pascal has 1x DVI, 1x HDMI 2.0, and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the RX 9070 GRE has 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1a.

Power consumption is lower on the AMD card: 220 W versus 250 W, with a suggested PSU of 550 W versus 600 W. The TITAN X Pascal uses a single 6-pin plus a single 8-pin connector, while the RX 9070 GRE requires two 8-pin connectors. Both are dual-slot cards. The TITAN X Pascal measures 267 mm in length, 112 mm in height, and 40 mm in width; the RX 9070 GRE has no dimensions recorded in the database.

The Verdict

The data paints a clear picture for specific use cases, but the overall verdict requires nuance. In the only direct benchmark comparison, the RX 9070 GRE beats the TITAN X Pascal by 39% in OpenCL. That is a decisive margin, and it aligns with the architectural advantages: the AMD card has a 4 nm process, more than triple the FP32 throughput, ray tracing support, and DirectX 12 Ultimate. For modern workloads that leverage these features, the RX 9070 GRE is the stronger card.

However, the average benchmark scores tell a different story. The TITAN X Pascal holds a 91st percentile ranking versus the RX 9070 GRE's 87th, and its average score of 72,098 is substantially higher than the AMD card's 57,367. This suggests that the RX 9070 GRE's OpenCL result may be an outlier, or that the database contains tests where the AMD card does not perform as well relative to its specifications. The TITAN X Pascal also offers higher memory bandwidth (480.4 GB/s versus 432.0 GB/s), which can matter in bandwidth-sensitive applications.

For a buyer choosing between these two today, the RX 9070 GRE is the safer bet for new games and compute workloads that use modern APIs. The TITAN X Pascal remains competitive in the aggregate, but its lack of ray tracing, limited FP16 performance, and older DirectX feature level make it a poor fit for current-generation software. The RX 9070 GRE is also more power-efficient on paper, with a 220 W TDP versus 250 W. The production status confirms the direction: the TITAN X Pascal is end-of-life, while the RX 9070 GRE is active.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 9070 GRE wins in compute-heavy workloads that can use its FP32 throughput. At 34.28 TFLOPS, it offers more than three times the raw floating-point performance of the TITAN X Pascal's 10.97 TFLOPS. The 1:1 FP16 ratio is another major advantage for AI and half-precision tasks, where the TITAN X Pascal's 1:64 ratio is effectively non-functional. The 48 ray tracing cores give the RX 9070 GRE a capability the NVIDIA card simply does not have. The higher boost clock of 2,790 MHz versus 1,531 MHz, combined with a faster pixel rate (267.8 GPixel/s versus 147.0 GPixel/s) and texture rate (535.7 GTexel/s versus 342.9 GTexel/s), means the AMD card processes geometry and pixels faster in most scenarios. The 4 nm process delivers better transistor density, and the PCIe 5.0 interface provides more headroom for data transfer.

The NVIDIA TITAN X Pascal wins in memory bandwidth. Its 480.4 GB/s exceeds the RX 9070 GRE's 432.0 GB/s, and the 384-bit bus is wider than the 192-bit interface on the AMD card. For applications that are bandwidth-bound rather than compute-bound, the TITAN X Pascal may hold an edge. Its average benchmark score of 72,098 is significantly higher than the RX 9070 GRE's 57,367, and it ranks at the 91st percentile versus 87th. The TITAN X Pascal also has more shading units (3,584 versus 3,072) and more TMUs (224 versus 192), which can help in certain rasterization workloads. The card's 267 mm length fits in more compact cases compared to the RX 9070 GRE, though the AMD card's dimensions are not recorded in the database.

In the direct comparison, the RX 9070 GRE wins the only head-to-head benchmark. In the aggregate, the TITAN X Pascal looks better. The choice depends on whether the buyer prioritizes modern features and raw compute or consistent performance across a broad set of tests. The RX 9070 GRE is the forward-looking pick; the TITAN X Pascal is the established performer with a proven track record in the database.
