Where Each One Wins

The data shows a clear split. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER wins the only direct benchmark available, the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, and it does so by a wide margin. The score of 6269.5 versus 2348 represents a 62.5% deficit for the AMD card, meaning that in modern DirectX 12 workloads, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the definitive choice. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER also benefits from a much higher pixel rate of 235.4 GPixel/s compared to 176.3 GPixel/s for the RX 7600 XT, and a texture rate of 686.6 GTexel/s versus 352.6 GTexel/s. These raw throughput advantages align with the benchmark result, indicating that the NVIDIA card is built for high-resolution, high-detail rendering.

The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT, however, shows its strengths in the broader database context. Its average benchmark score of 17083 is built from ten tests including legacy DirectX 9, DirectX 10, DirectX 11, and OpenCL workloads. In those tests, it achieves scores of 228 in PassMark DirectX 9, 85 in DirectX 10, and 167 in DirectX 11. These are not directly comparable to the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, which has no recorded scores in those legacy tests. The RX 7600 XT also holds a higher percentile ranking (60th versus 36th), which indicates that across the full range of database entries, it outperforms a larger fraction of the GPU population than the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER does. This suggests that the RX 7600 XT is a more balanced performer across older and newer APIs, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's data is focused on a single modern test.

For users targeting current-generation DirectX 12 games, the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is the clear winner based on the recorded data. For users who need consistent performance across a wide variety of legacy and modern workloads, the RX 7600 XT shows a more robust profile in the database, even though its peak modern performance is far lower. The RX 7600 XT also uses a PCIe 4.0 x8 interface, which is sufficient for its bandwidth, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses PCIe 5.0 x16, providing more headroom for data transfer in high-end systems.

Specification Differences

The two cards differ across nearly every core specification. The AMD Radeon RX 7600 XT uses the Navi 33 chip with RDNA 3.0 architecture, manufactured on a 6 nm process at TSMC. It contains 13,300 million transistors on a 204 mm² die, giving a transistor density of 65.2M per mm². The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip with Blackwell 2.0 architecture, manufactured on a 5 nm process at TSMC. It contains 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, giving a density of 120.6M per mm². The NVIDIA chip has more than three times the transistor count and nearly double the die area.

Clock speeds also differ. The RX 7600 XT has a base clock of 1980 MHz, a boost clock of 2755 MHz, and a game clock of 2470 MHz. Its memory runs at 2250 MHz, or 18 Gbps effective. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a base clock of 2295 MHz and a boost clock of 2452 MHz, with no game clock listed. Its memory runs at 1750 MHz, or 28 Gbps effective. The AMD card has a higher boost clock, but the NVIDIA card has a higher base clock and far faster memory.

Memory configurations are similar in capacity but different in type and bandwidth. Both cards have 16 GB of memory, but the RX 7600 XT uses GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, yielding 288.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, yielding 896.0 GB/s, more than three times the bandwidth. The NVIDIA card also has a wider memory bus, which contributes to its significant advantage in memory-intensive workloads.

The compute resources are vastly different. The RX 7600 XT has 2048 shading units, 128 texture mapping units, 64 ROPs, and 32 ray tracing cores. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 8960 shading units, 280 TMUs, 96 ROPs, 70 RT cores, and 280 tensor cores. The NVIDIA card has more than four times the shading units and more than double the TMUs and ROPs. The FP32 throughput is 22.57 TFLOPS for the AMD card and 43.94 TFLOPS for the NVIDIA card, a near doubling. FP16 throughput is identical to FP32 for both, at 22.57 and 43.94 TFLOPS respectively.

Power and physical specifications also diverge. The RX 7600 XT has a TDP of 190 W and uses a single 8-pin power connector, with a suggested PSU of 450 W. The RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has a TDP of 350 W and uses a single 16-pin connector, with no suggested PSU listed. The AMD card is 204 mm long and 115 mm tall, while the NVIDIA card is 304 mm long, 137 mm tall, and 48 mm wide. Both are dual-slot cards. The display outputs differ slightly: the RX 7600 XT offers 1x HDMI 2.1a and 3x DisplayPort 2.1, while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER offers 1x HDMI 2.1b and 3x DisplayPort 2.1b.

Architecture Differences

The architectural split is fundamental. AMD's Radeon RX 7600 XT is built on RDNA 3.0, the third generation of AMD's RDNA architecture, with the codename "Hotpink Bonefish." It belongs to the Navi III (RX 7000) generation and is the successor to the Navi II generation, with its own successor listed as Navi IV. The chip is Navi 33, a smaller die designed for mainstream performance. The RDNA 3.0 architecture uses a 6 nm TSMC process, and the card has no tensor cores, relying instead on dedicated ray tracing cores. The API support includes DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is built on Blackwell 2.0, NVIDIA's latest architecture, and belongs to the GeForce 50 generation. The chip is GB203, manufactured on a 5 nm TSMC process with a much higher transistor density. This architecture includes both ray tracing cores and tensor cores, with 70 RT cores and 280 tensor cores in this specific configuration. The Blackwell 2.0 architecture supports the same API set as the RDNA 3.0 card: DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The NVIDIA card has no predecessor or successor listed in the database, indicating it is a standalone entry in the current generation.

The transistor density difference is a key architectural indicator. The RX 7600 XT has a density of 65.2M per mm², while the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER has 120.6M per mm², nearly double. This reflects the move from 6 nm to 5 nm process technology and the larger, more complex GB203 die. The memory architecture also differs fundamentally: GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus for AMD versus GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus for NVIDIA. The GDDR7 memory at 28 Gbps effective provides the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER with 896.0 GB/s of bandwidth, a figure that dwarfs the 288.0 GB/s of the RX 7600 XT. These architectural choices explain the benchmark gap: the NVIDIA card has more compute units, faster memory, and a wider bus, all of which contribute to its dominant performance in the Steel Nomad test.
