NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile vs NVIDIA Tesla M60 Comparison

The data paints a one-sided picture: the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins every head-to-head benchmark recorded in the database, and by enormous margins. In Geekbench OpenCL it scores 143,870 against the Tesla M60's 29,506, a gap of 387.6%. In Geekbench Vulkan the margin is 342.3%, with 139,213 versus 31,473. The M60, a Maxwell-era datacenter accelerator now end-of-life, simply cannot keep pace with a modern Blackwell mobile GPU in compute or graphics workloads. Its only remaining arguments are a wider memory bus, dedicated server form factor, and a legacy software position. Everything else favors the newer chip.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

Only two tests exist for both cards, and both land decisively for the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile.

Geekbench OpenCL: RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins by 387.6%. The 5070 Ti Mobile scores 143,870 while the M60 manages 29,506. That is nearly a five-fold difference in OpenCL compute throughput. The gap reflects raw architectural capability: 17.04 TFLOPS of FP32 on the Blackwell part against 4.825 TFLOPS on Maxwell, a difference of roughly 3.5x in theoretical shader output that the benchmark converts into an even larger practical lead, likely because the M60 lacks the dedicated hardware paths the newer chip exploits.

Geekbench Vulkan: RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins by 342.3%. Here the scores are 139,213 for the 5070 Ti Mobile and 31,473 for the M60. Vulkan is a modern low-overhead API both cards nominally support at version 1.4, yet the M60's older hardware leaves it far behind. The 5070 Ti Mobile's Vulkan score sits within a few percent of its OpenCL score, indicating consistent throughput across compute and graphics APIs, whereas the M60 shows a slight relative lift in Vulkan (31,473 versus 29,506) that changes nothing about the outcome.

The database also records a fuller benchmark set for the 5070 Ti Mobile alone: Passmark G3D at 24,004, Passmark GPU Compute at 10,101, and Passmark DirectX results spanning 102 (DirectX 12) to 259 (DirectX 9), plus a G2D score of 981. The M60 has no comparable Passmark entries, so aggregate comparisons rely on each card's average benchmark score: 35,435 for the 5070 Ti Mobile versus 30,490 for the M60. Note that these averages come from different test mixes, so the 2-0 head-to-head record and the 387.6% / 342.3% deltas are the cleaner measures of relative strength.

Context from the percentile fields reinforces the story: the 5070 Ti Mobile sits in the 80th percentile of all GPUs in the database, the M60 in the 75th. The percentile gap is modest only because the averages mix incompatible test sets. Direct measurements are unambiguous.

The Verdict

The Tesla M60 has no benchmark-based case in this matchup. It loses both shared tests by more than 342%, it draws 300 W against the 5070 Ti Mobile's 60 W TDP while delivering a fraction of the performance, and it is officially end-of-life with the Tesla Pascal generation listed as its successor. Anyone selecting from these two on measured performance should pick the RTX 5070 Ti Mobile.

The M60 still fits one niche: legacy server deployments. It is a dual-slot passively-positioned datacenter card with no display outputs, a 1x 8-pin power connector, a suggested 700 W PSU, and a 267 mm length, all standard for rack integration. The 5070 Ti Mobile is an integrated mobile GPU with device-dependent outputs and no power connectors, built for laptops, not server chassis. Form factor, not performance, is the only reason to choose the M60 today, and its end-of-life status weakens even that argument.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ on nearly every specification:

• Process and density: 5 nm versus 28 nm, both fabbed at TSMC. The 5070 Ti Mobile packs 31,100 million transistors into 263 mm² (118.3M/mm²); the M60 has 5,200 million transistors across 398 mm² (13.1M/mm²).
• Clocks: 847 MHz base / 1447 MHz boost for the 5070 Ti Mobile versus 557 MHz base / 1178 MHz boost for the M60.
• Memory: 12 GB GDDR7 on a 192-bit bus with 672.0 GB/s bandwidth, versus 8 GB GDDR5 on a 256-bit bus with 160.4 GB/s. The M60's bus is wider, but the newer memory technology delivers over four times the bandwidth.
• Shader resources: 5,888 shading units, 184 TMUs, 80 ROPs, 46 RT cores, and 184 tensor cores for the Blackwell chip, versus 2,048 shading units, 128 TMUs, and 64 ROPs with no RT or tensor cores for Maxwell.
• Throughput: 115.8 GPixel/s and 266.2 GTexel/s against 75.39 GPixel/s and 150.8 GTexel/s. FP32 is 17.04 TFLOPS against 4.825 TFLOPS; the 5070 Ti Mobile also lists FP16 at 1:1 (17.04 TFLOPS), a figure the M60 does not record.
• Interface and outputs: PCIe 5.0 x16 versus PCIe 3.0 x16; device-dependent display outputs versus none at all.
• Form factor and power: integrated mobile GPU at 60 W versus dual-slot 267 mm server card at 300 W with a suggested 700 W PSU.
• Status: Active (released 2025-02-28) versus End-of-life (released 2015-08-29).
• DirectX level: 12 Ultimate (12_2) versus 12 (12_1); OpenGL 4.6 and Vulkan 1.4 are common to both.

Architecture Differences

The Tesla M60's GM204 die belongs to Maxwell 2.0, the third generation in NVIDIA's Tesla datacenter line, preceded by Tesla Kepler and succeeded by Tesla Pascal. The RTX 5070 Ti Mobile's GB205 die belongs to Blackwell 2.0 in the GeForce 50 Mobile generation, the successor line to GeForce 40 Mobile.

The generational distance is extreme. Five process-node leaps separate 28 nm from 5 nm, which is why transistor density rises from 13.1M/mm² to 118.3M/mm², roughly a nine-fold increase. That density is what funds the 5070 Ti Mobile's vastly larger resource counts: nearly three times the shading units, and entire hardware blocks (RT cores, tensor cores) that did not exist on Maxwell. Clock speeds also scale upward despite the power budget dropping from 300 W to 60 W, a direct consequence of the process shrink.

Memory technology marks the other great divide. The M60's GDDR5 at 5 Gbps effective across 256 bits yields 160.4 GB/s. The 5070 Ti Mobile's GDDR7 at 28 Gbps effective across 192 bits yields 672.0 GB/s, meaning the narrower bus still delivers over four times the bandwidth. For datacenter-style workloads, where the M60 spent its career, bandwidth is often the binding constraint, and here the old card is thoroughly outclassed.

The API story completes the picture: the M60 tops out at DirectX 12 feature level 12_1, while the 5070 Ti Mobile supports 12 Ultimate (12_2), the tier that encompasses ray-tracing and modern feature support.

Where Each One Wins

RTX 5070 Ti Mobile wins everywhere performance matters. OpenCL compute (387.6% faster), Vulkan graphics (342.3% faster), FP32 throughput, memory bandwidth, pixel and texture fill rates, ray tracing and AI workloads (which the M60 cannot hardware-accelerate at all), and power efficiency, delivering all of it at one fifth the TDP. Among its own peers it trades blows with the Quadro GV100, Radeon Pro Duo, A2, and T1000, all within about 2.4% of its average score.

Tesla M60 wins only on deployment shape. It is the only one of the two that fits a standard server: dual-slot, 267 mm, 8-pin power, no display outputs, sitting on a PCIe 3.0 x16 slot with a cluster of comparable averages around the CMP 70HX, Radeon RX 6700, RX 6800, and RTX 3070 Ti. For an existing rack that physically cannot host a mobile-integrated GPU and needs a drop-in replacement board, it remains the sole option of the pair. For every workload where the database has measurements, the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Mobile is the correct choice.
