AMD Radeon Pro 5300 vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Comparison

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER and the AMD Radeon Pro 5300 occupy opposite ends of the GPU spectrum, yet both appear in the same database percentile range. The RTX 4070 SUPER sits at the 83rd percentile of all GPUs, while the Radeon Pro 5300 ranks at the 82nd percentile, a superficial similarity that masks a massive performance gulf. The data shows the RTX 4070 SUPER is decisively faster in every shared workload, but the Radeon Pro 5300 is a different class of product—a low-power integrated solution for Apple Mac systems rather than a direct desktop competitor. The average benchmark score for the NVIDIA card is 43,223, compared to 40,870 for the AMD card, but that narrow gap is misleading because the two cards share only a few benchmark results.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER wins in every benchmark where both cards have results. In Geekbench OpenCL, the RTX 4070 SUPER scores 172,795 against the Radeon Pro 5300’s 38,747, a 346% advantage. In Geekbench Vulkan, the NVIDIA card scores 205,624 versus 35,793, a 474.5% lead. These are not close contests; the RTX 4070 SUPER dominates compute and graphics workloads outright. The Radeon Pro 5300’s only unique benchmark is Geekbench Metal, where it scores 48,070, but there is no NVIDIA comparison point for that test. For raw performance in any cross-platform workload, the RTX 4070 SUPER is the clear winner.

The Radeon Pro 5300 wins in the context of its intended use case: a compact, power-efficient GPU for Mac systems. Its 85 W TDP and integrated form factor (IGP slot width) make it suitable for machines where the RTX 4070 SUPER’s 220 W TDP and dual-slot footprint would be impractical. However, in terms of benchmark wins, the RTX 4070 SUPER takes both head-to-head tests. The data indicates the NVIDIA card is the only choice for users prioritizing performance, while the AMD card is for those needing a specific low-profile solution in an Apple ecosystem where its Metal score of 48,070 is relevant.

Architecture Differences

The architecture gap between these two cards is generational and structural. The RTX 4070 SUPER uses the AD104 chip on NVIDIA’s Ada Lovelace architecture, built on a 5 nm process at TSMC with 35,800 million transistors on a 294 mm² die. That yields a transistor density of 121.8M per mm². The Radeon Pro 5300 uses the Navi 14 chip on AMD’s RDNA 1.0 architecture, fabricated on a 7 nm process at TSMC with 6,400 million transistors on a 158 mm² die, giving a density of 40.5M per mm². The RTX 4070 SUPER packs over five times the transistors into less than twice the die area, reflecting the newer process node and more complex design.

The RTX 4070 SUPER features 7,168 shading units, 224 texture mapping units, and 80 raster operation units, alongside 56 dedicated ray tracing cores and 224 tensor cores. The Radeon Pro 5300 has 1,280 shading units, 80 TMUs, and 32 ROPs, with no ray tracing cores and no tensor cores. The NVIDIA card’s FP32 compute is 35.48 TFLOPS, while the AMD card delivers 4.224 TFLOPS. The RTX 4070 SUPER also supports DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), whereas the Radeon Pro 5300 only reaches DirectX 12 (12_1). Both cards support OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4, but the feature set beyond that is fundamentally different, with the NVIDIA card designed for ray tracing and AI workloads that the AMD card simply cannot handle.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only two shared benchmark results are Geekbench OpenCL and Geekbench Vulkan, and both are landslides for the RTX 4070 SUPER. In OpenCL, the NVIDIA card scores 172,795 versus 38,747 for the Radeon Pro 5300, a delta of 346%. This means the RTX 407O SUPER is roughly four and a half times faster in compute-heavy OpenCL tasks. In Vulkan, the gap widens further: 205,624 versus 35,793, a 474.5% delta. That is over five times the performance, indicating that the RTX 4070 SUPER scales even better in graphics API workloads.

The RTX 4070 SUPER’s nearest rivals in the database are the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (average score 43,262, delta -0.1%), the RTX 5050 Mobile (43,268, -0.1%), the Quadro M6000 (43,301, -0.2%), and the RTX 4090 Mobile (43,667, -1%). The Radeon Pro 5300’s nearest rivals include the RTX 3080 Ti (41,187, -0.8%), the RTX 5070 (40,377, +1.2%), and AMD’s own Radeon Pro 580 (40,318, +1.4%). These rival lists show that the Radeon Pro 5300 is actually competing with high-end desktop cards in average score, but that is purely a factor of the limited benchmark set; in the shared tests, it is nowhere near those cards’ performance levels.

FAQ

Q: Which card is faster in OpenCL?

A: The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER scores 172,795 in Geekbench OpenCL, which is 346% higher than the AMD Radeon Pro 5300’s 38,747. The NVIDIA card is overwhelmingly faster.

Q: Does the Radeon Pro 5300 support ray tracing?

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER is the superior performer in every measurable way. It wins both head-to-head benchmarks by margins of 346% and 474.5%, has a vastly higher transistor count, more memory, and a more advanced feature set including ray tracing and tensor cores. The RTX 4070 SUPER’s 83rd percentile ranking and average score of 43,223 put it in a different league from the Radeon Pro 5300’s 82nd percentile and 40,870 average, even though those averages are skewed by different benchmark sets.

The Radeon Pro 5300 should only be chosen by users who specifically need an integrated GPU for a Mac system with no display outputs and minimal power consumption. Its 85 W TDP and IGP form factor are its only advantages. For any desktop build where performance matters, the RTX 4070 SUPER is the pick. It delivers 35.48 TFLOPS of FP32 compute versus 4.224 TFLOPS, 12 GB of VRAM versus 4 GB, and supports modern APIs like DirectX 12 Ultimate. The RTX 4070 SUPER also has a launch MSRP of 599 USD. If you need raw power, the choice is clear: the RTX 4070 SUPER. If you need a low-power Mac-compatible GPU, the Radeon Pro 5300 is the only option that fits.
