NVIDIA GeForce MX570 vs NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation Comparison

The Verdict

The NVIDIA RTX 5880 Ada Generation and the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 occupy entirely different tiers of the graphics stack, and the recorded data leaves no ambiguity about which one suits a given workload. The RTX 5880 Ada Generation is a workstation-class part with a 48 GB memory pool, a 384-bit bus, and a peak FP32 throughput of 69.27 TFLOPS. The MX570 is an entry-level mobile chip with 2 GB of memory, a 64-bit bus, and 4.731 TFLOPS. The single head-to-head benchmark in the database, Geekbench OpenCL, shows the RTX 5880 Ada Generation scoring 326,898 against the MX570's 38,299, a delta of 753.5% in favor of the larger card. That is not a close contest; it is a category gap.

For professionals running rendering, simulation, or large dataset inference, the RTX 5880 Ada Generation is the only defensible choice from these two. Its average benchmark score of 45,972 places it in the 85th percentile of all GPUs, and its nearest rivals in the database include the NVIDIA RTX A2000 (average 46,043, delta -0.2%) and the AMD Radeon RX 5600M (average 46,601, delta -1.4%). This means the RTX 5880 sits within a few percentage points of those cards in aggregate performance, despite its massive memory advantage. The MX570, by contrast, has an average score of 38,299, an 81st percentile ranking, and sits near the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile (average 38,349, delta -0.1%) and the NVIDIA GeForce MX570 A (average 38,691, delta -1%). For a thin-and-light laptop or basic productivity tasks, the MX570 is adequate, but it is not a compute workhorse.

The decision rule is simple: if the task requires large models, high-resolution textures, or sustained compute, the RTX 5880 Ada Generation is the pick. If the constraint is a low-power integrated form factor with modest graphics needs, the MX570 exists for that niche. The data does not support any crossover use case.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architecture generations and different foundries. The RTX 5880 Ada Generation uses the AD102 chip built on Ada Lovelace architecture, fabricated by TSMC at a 5 nm process node. The MX570 uses the GA107S chip on Ampere architecture, fabricated by Samsung at an 8 nm node. The process gap is significant: the RTX 5880 packs 76,300 million transistors into a 609 mm² die, yielding a transistor density of 125.3 million per square millimeter. The MX570 has 8,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die, for a density of 43.5 million per square millimeter. That is roughly a 2.9x density advantage for the Ada part, which explains how so much more hardware fits into a similar physical footprint.

The execution resources differ by an order of magnitude. The RTX 5880 Ada Generation has 14,080 shading units, 440 texture mapping units, and 176 ROPs. It also carries 110 ray tracing cores and 440 tensor cores. The MX570 has 2,048 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 16 ray tracing cores, and 64 tensor cores. In every category, the RTX 5880 has between 6.4x and 6.9x the hardware of the MX570. That scaling is consistent across pixel rate (433.0 GPixel/s versus 36.96 GPixel/s) and texture rate (1,082.4 GTexel/s versus 73.92 GTexel/s).

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4, so the API feature set is identical. The RTX 5880 Ada Generation is produced in a dual-slot form factor with a 1x 16-pin power connector and a 285 W TDP, while the MX570 is an integrated graphics processor (IGP) with no power connector and a 15 W TDP. The RTX 5880 is an active product, released in January 2024; the MX570 is end-of-life, released in December 2021.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The database contains exactly one direct comparison between these two GPUs: Geekbench OpenCL. The RTX 5880 Ada Generation scores 326,898, and the MX570 scores 38,299. That is a 753.5% advantage for the RTX 5880. To put that in context, the RTX 5880's nearest rivals in aggregate average score include the NVIDIA RTX A2000 at 46,043 (delta -0.2%) and the AMD Radeon Pro 5500 XT at 45,384 (delta 1.3%). The RTX 5880's own average benchmark score is 45,972, which is lower than its OpenCL score alone, indicating that the OpenCL test is particularly favorable to it. The MX570's average score equals its only recorded benchmark, 38,299.

The delta between the two in OpenCL is not merely a linear scaling of core counts. The RTX 5880 has 6.9x the shading units of the MX570, but it scores 8.5x higher in OpenCL. That suggests the larger memory bus (384-bit versus 64-bit) and the higher memory bandwidth (864.0 GB/s versus 96.00 GB/s) contribute beyond raw shader throughput. The RTX 5880 also boosts to 2460 MHz versus the MX570's 1155 MHz, a 2.1x clock advantage that compounds with the wider architecture.

The MX570's nearest rivals in the database, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Mobile (average 38,349, delta -0.1%) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Mobile (average 38,135, delta 0.4%), are within 0.5% of its average score. This indicates the MX570 is right at the performance level of those mobile parts, despite being a much older and lower-tier product. The RTX 5880, by contrast, sits in a cluster with workstation and mobile parts that are within 1.4% of its average, meaning its aggregate score does not reflect its OpenCL dominance as strongly.

Specification Differences

The specification sheet shows a clean separation between the two products. The RTX 5880 Ada Generation is built on a 5 nm TSMC process with 76,300 million transistors; the MX570 uses an 8 nm Samsung process with 8,700 million transistors. The RTX 5880 has a 609 mm² die; the MX570 has a 200 mm² die. Transistor density is 125.3M per mm² versus 43.5M per mm².

Clock speeds differ substantially. The RTX 5880 runs a base clock of 975 MHz and a boost clock of 2460 MHz, with memory at 2250 MHz (18 Gbps effective). The MX570 runs a base of 832 MHz and a boost of 1155 MHz, with memory at 1500 MHz (12 Gbps effective). Memory capacity is 48 GB versus 2 GB, bus width is 384-bit versus 64-bit, and bandwidth is 864.0 GB/s versus 96.00 GB/s.

Compute resources: the RTX 5880 has 14,080 shading units, 440 TMUs, 176 ROPs, 110 RT cores, and 440 tensor cores. The MX570 has 2,048 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 16 RT cores, and 64 tensor cores. Pixel rate is 433.0 GPixel/s versus 36.96 GPixel/s, texture rate is 1,082.4 GTexel/s versus 73.92 GTexel/s, and FP32 throughput is 69.27 TFLOPS versus 4.731 TFLOPS. Both have FP16 at a 1:1 ratio with FP32.

Power and physical specifications differ as expected. The RTX 5880 has a 285 W TDP, a dual-slot width, a 1x 16-pin power connector, and a suggested PSU of 600 W. It measures 267 mm in length and 112 mm in height. The MX570 has a 15 W TDP, an IGP slot width, no power connector, no suggested PSU, and no recorded dimensions. The RTX 5880 uses PCIe 4.0 x16; the MX570 uses PCIe 4.0 x8. Display outputs are 4x DisplayPort 1.4a on the RTX 5880, while the MX570 is listed as "Portable Device Dependent."

Release status: the RTX 5880 was released on January 4, 2024, and is marked Active, with a predecessor in Workstation Ampere and a successor in Blackwell PRO W. The MX570 was released on December 16, 2021, is End-of-life, and has no listed predecessor or successor.
