NVIDIA GeForce MX570 vs NVIDIA TITAN RTX Comparison

The Verdict

The data presents a stark contrast between two very different NVIDIA products. The GeForce MX570 is a low-power, integrated-class solution designed for basic portable computing, while the TITAN RTX is a high-end desktop workstation card built for maximum performance. Benchmark results confirm the TITAN RTX is the overwhelming performance leader, but the choice between them depends entirely on the user's hardware platform and workload.

For users building or upgrading a desktop workstation with a standard PCIe slot and requiring high compute throughput, the TITAN RTX is the only logical choice. Its Geekbench OpenCL score of 144,858 is roughly 3.78 times higher than the MX570's 38,299. The TITAN RTX also offers 24 GB of memory versus 2 GB, a 384-bit bus versus 64-bit, and more than triple the shading units, texture mapping units, and render output units.

For users on a portable, low-power platform such as an ultra-thin laptop, the MX570 is the appropriate selection. It is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no power connectors and a 15 W TDP, making it suitable for devices where power consumption and thermal output are critical constraints. The TITAN RTX, with its 280 W TDP, dual-slot cooler, and two 8-pin power connectors, is not physically compatible with such platforms.

The data does not support using the MX570 for demanding compute tasks. Its 4.731 TFLOPS FP32 throughput is less than one-third of the TITAN RTX's 16.31 TFLOPS. The MX570's 96 GB/s memory bandwidth is severely limited compared to the TITAN RTX's 672 GB/s. Therefore, the verdict is straightforward: the TITAN RTX for any performance-sensitive desktop application, the MX570 for efficient integrated graphics in portable devices.

Where Each One Wins

The TITAN RTX wins decisively in every measured performance category. The head-to-head benchmark shows a 73.6% delta in its favor for Geekbench OpenCL, which is a general-purpose GPU compute test. This indicates the TITAN RTX excels at tasks like rendering, scientific simulation, and machine learning inference where raw parallel processing power matters.

The TITAN RTX also wins on memory capacity with 24 GB versus 2 GB. This is a critical advantage for large datasets, high-resolution textures, and multi-model AI workloads. Its 672 GB/s bandwidth is 7 times higher than the MX570's 96 GB/s, making it vastly superior for memory-intensive operations.

The MX570 wins in power efficiency and physical integration. At 15 W TDP, it consumes 18.7 times less power than the TITAN RTX's 280 W. It is an IGP with no power connectors, meaning it draws power directly from the motherboard and requires no additional cooling solution beyond what the portable device already has. The TITAN RTX requires a dual-slot cooler, two 8-pin connectors, and a 600 W suggested PSU.

The MX570 also wins on process node technology, using an 8 nm Samsung process versus the TITAN RTX's 12 nm TSMC process. This gives the MX570 a higher transistor density at 43.5M per mm² versus 24.7M per mm². However, this architectural advantage does not translate into performance wins, as the TITAN RTX compensates with a much larger die (754 mm² versus 200 mm²) and 2.14 times more transistors (18,600 million versus 8,700 million).

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different NVIDIA architecture generations. The MX570 is based on Ampere (chip GA107S), while the TITAN RTX is based on Turing (chip TU102). This generation gap explains several fundamental design differences.

The MX570 uses an 8 nm process from Samsung, while the TITAN RTX uses a 12 nm process from TSMC. The MX570's smaller process node allows for a higher transistor density of 43.5M per mm² compared to the TITAN RTX's 24.7M per mm². However, the TITAN RTX's die is much larger at 754 mm² versus 200 mm², allowing it to pack 18,600 million transistors versus 8,700 million.

Core configurations differ significantly. The MX570 has 2,048 shading units, 64 TMUs, 32 ROPs, 16 RT cores, and 64 tensor cores. The TITAN RTX has 4,608 shading units, 288 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 72 RT cores, and 576 tensor cores. This represents a 2.25x advantage in shading units, 4.5x in TMUs, 3x in ROPs, 4.5x in RT cores, and 9x in tensor cores.

Clock speeds also differ. The MX570 has a base clock of 832 MHz and boost of 1155 MHz. The TITAN RTX runs at 1350 MHz base and 1770 MHz boost. Memory clocks differ as well: the MX570 uses 1500 MHz (12 Gbps effective) GDDR6, while the TITAN RTX uses 1750 MHz (14 Gbps effective) GDDR6.

FP16 throughput reveals a key architectural difference. The MX570 achieves 4.731 TFLOPS FP16 with a 1:1 ratio to FP32. The TITAN RTX achieves 32.62 TFLOPS FP16 with a 2:1 ratio, meaning it can process half-precision data twice as fast as single-precision. This makes the TITAN RTX significantly more capable for AI and deep learning workloads that leverage FP16.

Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The bus interface differs: the MX570 uses PCIe 4.0 x8, while the TITAN RTX uses PCIe 3.0 x16.
