AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only directly comparable benchmark in the database is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, and it is a narrow contest. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB scores 2402 points, while the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile scores 2365 points. That is a 1.6% lead for the AMD card, a margin that is effectively a tie in real-world terms. For context, the AMD card's average benchmark score across all recorded tests is 55698, placing it in the 87th percentile of all GPUs in the database. Its nearest rivals in that aggregate ranking include the AMD Radeon 8060S at 55757 (0.1% behind the 6750 GRE) and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 at 56083 (0.7% behind), which shows the desktop card sits in a crowded performance band.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile, by contrast, has an average benchmark score of 43268, which lands it in the 83rd percentile. Its nearest rivals are the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB at 43262 (a 0% delta), the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 at 43301 (0.1% behind the 5050 Mobile), and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER at 43223 (0.1% ahead of the 5050 Mobile). Notably, the RTX 4090 Mobile sits just 0.9% ahead of the 5050 Mobile at 43667, meaning the mobile chip is within striking distance of one of NVIDIA's most powerful laptop GPUs in aggregate scoring. The aggregate gap between the two cards in this comparison is substantial: the AMD card's average score of 55698 is roughly 28.7% higher than the NVIDIA mobile part's 43268, despite the single head-to-head 3DMark test showing only a 1.6% difference.

Beyond the Steel Nomad test, the AMD card has a Geekbench Vulkan score of 108994, while the NVIDIA card has a Geekbench OpenCL score of 84171. These are different sub-tests from different benchmark suites, so they cannot be compared directly as apples-to-apples measurements, but they do reflect the same trend of the desktop card outpacing the mobile GPU in compute workloads. The AMD card's FP32 throughput is 13.21 TFLOPS versus 7.680 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA mobile part, a 72% difference in raw shader throughput, which helps explain why the aggregate benchmark scores diverge so much more than the single 3DMark run suggests. The texture rate also tells a similar story: 413.0 GTexel/s for the AMD card against 120.0 GTexel/s for the mobile NVIDIA chip, a gap of roughly 3.4x in texture fill rate.

The pixel rate difference is even more lopsided. The AMD card achieves 165.2 GPixel/s, while the NVIDIA mobile part manages 48.00 GPixel/s, which is a 244% advantage for the desktop card. This is a direct consequence of the AMD card having 64 ROPs against 32 ROPs on the NVIDIA mobile chip, combined with its much higher boost clock of 2581 MHz versus 1500 MHz. In any rasterization-heavy workload that stresses pixel fill, the AMD card should pull ahead by a wide margin, even though the single 3DMark Steel Nomad result shows only a modest win.

The Verdict

The data points to a clear split between these two products based on their intended use cases. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is the stronger performer by aggregate benchmark score, with 55698 average points against 43268 for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile, a 28.7% gap. The desktop card also wins the only direct head-to-head test, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 benchmark, by 1.6%. Anyone building a desktop system with room for a dual-slot, 267 mm long card and a 600 W power supply recommendation should choose the AMD part strictly on performance grounds. The 12 GB memory capacity and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth also give it a clear advantage in texture-heavy workloads and higher resolution scenarios.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile is the pick for a portable system or a compact integrated form factor. Its 50 W TDP is dramatically lower than the AMD card's 250 W TDP, and it requires no power connectors, whereas the AMD card needs one 6-pin and one 8-pin connector. The mobile chip's 5 nm process node and 149 mm² die size make it far more power-efficient per square millimeter, with a transistor density of 113.4M / mm² compared to 51.3M / mm² for the AMD card. If the system must run on battery or in a thin chassis, the NVIDIA part is the only sensible choice, even though it scores lower on every recorded benchmark.

For pure performance per benchmark point, the AMD card is the winner. For power envelope and physical footprint, the NVIDIA mobile part wins without contest. The 8 GB GDDR7 memory on the NVIDIA card is newer technology, but it comes with a 128 bit bus and 384.0 GB/s bandwidth, which is 48 GB/s less than the AMD card's 192 bit bus and 432.0 GB/s. The mobile card also has only 20 RT cores versus 40 on the AMD desktop card, and 80 TMUs versus 160, so ray tracing and texture work should favor the AMD card, though the NVIDIA card does include 80 tensor cores that the AMD card lacks entirely.

Specification Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is a desktop card from the Radeon RX 6000 series, using the Navi 22 chip on a 7 nm TSMC process. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile is a laptop part from the GeForce 50-series, using the GB207 chip on a 5 nm TSMC process. The die sizes diverge sharply: the AMD chip measures 335 mm² with 17,200 million transistors, while the NVIDIA chip is 149 mm² with 16,900 million transistors. This makes the NVIDIA die 186 mm² smaller while containing nearly the same transistor count, hence its density of 113.4M / mm² versus 51.3M / mm² for AMD.

Clock speeds are very different. The AMD card runs a base clock of 2321 MHz and a boost clock of 2581 MHz, with a game clock of 2439 MHz. The NVIDIA mobile chip has a base clock of 1020 MHz and a boost clock of 1500 MHz, with no game clock listed. Memory clocks also differ: the AMD card uses 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, while the NVIDIA part uses 1500 MHz with 24 Gbps effective speed. The AMD card's memory is 12 GB GDDR6 on a 192 bit bus, while the NVIDIA part has 8 GB GDDR7 on a 128 bit bus.

The compute units are a mixed bag. Both cards have 2560 shading units, but the AMD card has 160 TMUs and 64 ROPs, while the NVIDIA mobile part has 80 TMUs and 32 ROPs. The AMD card has 40 RT cores and no tensor cores, while the NVIDIA part has 20 RT cores and 80 tensor cores. The power draw is heavily lopsided: 250 W for the AMD card versus 50 W for the NVIDIA mobile part. The AMD card is dual-slot, 267 mm long, 110 mm high, and 40 mm wide, with 1x HDMI 2.1 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs. The NVIDIA mobile part is listed as IGP (integrated graphics processor) with no dimensions and portable device dependent display outputs.

The bus interface differs as well: PCIe 4.0 x16 for the AMD card versus PCIe 5.0 x16 for the NVIDIA mobile chip. The AMD card requires a 600 W suggested PSU and uses 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin power connectors, while the NVIDIA part has no power connectors and no suggested PSU listed. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD card's launch MSRP is 334 USD, while the NVIDIA mobile part has no launch MSRP in the database.

Architecture Differences

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is built on RDNA 2.0, AMD's second-generation Radeon architecture, on a 7 nm TSMC process. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile uses Blackwell 2.0, NVIDIA's latest architecture, on a 5 nm TSMC process. The process node difference is significant: 5 nm allows for a much smaller die with higher transistor density, which is why the NVIDIA chip packs 16,900 million transistors into just 149 mm², while AMD's Navi 22 needs 335 mm² for 17,200 million transistors. The architectural generation gap also means the NVIDIA part has access to newer feature sets, including 80 tensor cores for AI acceleration, which the AMD card lacks entirely.

The ray tracing hardware differs in count: the AMD card has 40 ray accelerators (listed as RT cores), while the NVIDIA mobile chip has 20 RT cores. This is counterintuitive given the NVIDIA part is newer, but the mobile chip's 50 W power budget constrains its hardware resources. The AMD card's FP32 throughput is 13.21 TFLOPS, while the NVIDIA part delivers 7.680 TFLOPS. The FP16 comparison is stark: the AMD card achieves 26.43 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the NVIDIA part delivers 7.680 TFLOPS at 1:1, meaning the AMD card has a 3.4x advantage in half-precision compute if the workload can use it.

Cache and memory hierarchy differences are implied by the bandwidth and bus width numbers. The AMD card's 192 bit bus and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth give it a 12.5% bandwidth advantage over the NVIDIA part's 128 bit bus and 384.0 GB/s. The NVIDIA part uses GDDR7 memory, which is a newer memory type than the GDDR6 on the AMD card, allowing it to achieve 24 Gbps effective speed per pin despite the narrower bus. The AMD card's 12 GB capacity versus 8 GB on the NVIDIA part means the desktop card can hold larger working sets in VRAM, which matters for high-resolution textures and large scene data.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB wins in raw performance metrics across the board. It has higher aggregate benchmark scores, a higher 3DMark Steel Nomad result, more texture units, more ROPs, more RT cores, higher clocks, more memory capacity, and higher bandwidth. It is the faster GPU for desktop gaming, content creation, and any workload where power consumption is not the limiting factor. The 12 GB frame buffer and 432.0 GB/s bandwidth make it well suited for high-resolution gaming with large textures, and its 165.2 GPixel/s pixel rate handles heavy post-processing and high display resolutions.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile wins in efficiency and portability. Its 50 W TDP is one-fifth of the AMD card's 250 W TDP, it needs no external power connectors, and it is an IGP form factor with no physical dimensions listed, meaning it can be integrated directly into a laptop motherboard. The 5 nm process node and 80 tensor cores give it a modern feature set for AI-accelerated workloads, even if its raw compute numbers are lower. The PCIe 5.0 x16 interface is a generational upgrade over the AMD card's PCIe 4.0 x16, which could matter in systems with very fast NVMe storage or future devices that leverage PCIe 5.0 bandwidth.

For users building a desktop tower with available PCIe slots and a 600 W power supply, the AMD card is the obvious choice. For users who need a GPU in a thin laptop or a compact integrated system, the NVIDIA mobile part is the only viable option despite its lower scores. The 28.7% aggregate performance gap makes the desktop card the stronger performer, but the 200 W power draw difference is a tradeoff that cannot be ignored in portable systems. The single head-to-head benchmark win for the AMD card at 1.6% is small, but the broader benchmark data shows a much larger overall advantage, so the desktop card is the pick for anyone prioritizing frame rates and compute throughput over power efficiency and physical size.
