AMD Radeon RX 7800M vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER Comparison

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The recorded data contains one direct comparison between the AMD Radeon RX 7800M and the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER: the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. In this benchmark, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER scores 6269.5 points, while the AMD Radeon RX 7800M scores 2994 points. The delta of -52.2% indicates that the AMD part trails the NVIDIA part by more than half in this workload. This is a substantial margin, and the NVIDIA card's result is over twice the AMD card's result in absolute terms.

The broader benchmark database paints a more complex picture. The AMD Radeon RX 7800M has an average benchmark score of 27883 across all recorded tests, which places it at the 73rd percentile among all GPUs. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER, with an average benchmark score of 6270, sits at the 36th percentile. However, this percentile discrepancy is heavily influenced by the fact that the NVIDIA card has only a single recorded benchmark score in the database (the Steel Nomad DX12 test), whereas the AMD card has ten recorded benchmark scores spanning multiple test suites.

Examining the AMD Radeon RX 7800M's individual benchmark results reveals its strengths. In Geekbench Vulkan, the AMD card scores 126668, and in Geekbench OpenCL it scores 120778. The Passmark G3D test yields a score of 17613, while Passmark GPU Compute shows 9342. The Passmark G2D test records 892, and the DirectX 11 test shows 176. The DirectX 9 test scores 174, the DirectX 10 test scores 99, and the DirectX 12 test scores 89. These results demonstrate a wide range of performance across different APIs and compute workloads.

The nearest rivals for the AMD Radeon RX 7800M in the database include the AMD Radeon Pro Vega 20 with an average score of 27839 (a 0.2% delta), the AMD Radeon Pro W5500X with 27973 (-0.3%), the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti with 28020 (-0.5%), and the AMD FirePro S7150 with 28117 (-0.8%). These deltas are all within one percent, indicating that the RX 7800M performs essentially on par with this group of older workstation and enthusiast cards. The RX 7800M sits slightly above the Radeon Pro Vega 20, marginally below the Radeon Pro W5500X, and slightly below both the GTX 980 Ti and the FirePro S7150.

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER's nearest rivals tell a different story. The RTX 4070 Ti SUPER AD102 matches it exactly with an average score of 6270 and a 0% delta. The NVIDIA Quadro K620 scores 6282 (-0.2%), the AMD FirePro W600 scores 6223 (0.8%), and the AMD Radeon R7 M350 scores 6327 (-0.9%). These rivals are a mix of professional and low-end cards, which is an artifact of the limited benchmark data available for the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER. The single Steel Nomad score does not provide enough resolution to accurately position this card against its true performance class.

The Verdict

The benchmark data shows a clear winner in the single head-to-head test: the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER outperforms the AMD Radeon RX 7800M by 52.2% in 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12. This is the only direct comparison available, and it favors NVIDIA decisively. For users prioritizing raw DX12 gaming performance as measured by Steel Nomad, the data points firmly to the NVIDIA card.

However, the AMD Radeon RX 7800M has a much richer benchmark history in the database, with ten recorded scores across Geekbench and Passmark suites. Its average score of 27883 reflects consistent performance across diverse workloads, and its 73rd percentile ranking among all GPUs indicates that it outperforms the majority of recorded graphics hardware. The NVIDIA card's 36th percentile ranking is misleading due to the sparse data, but the single head-to-head result remains the most direct evidence.

The AMD card uses 180 W of power and is integrated into a portable device, while the NVIDIA card draws 350 W and requires a dual-slot form factor with a 16-pin power connector. The NVIDIA card's dimensions are 304 mm in length, 137 mm in height, and 48 mm in width. These physical and power characteristics suggest very different use cases. The RX 7800M is designed for mobile integration where space and power are constrained, whereas the RTX 5070 Ti SUPER is a desktop add-in card with substantial thermal and power requirements.

Users who need a mobile graphics solution for a portable device should consider the AMD Radeon RX 7800M, as its integrated form factor with no external power connectors fits that scenario. Users who can accommodate a large dual-slot desktop card with a 350 W power draw and a 16-pin connector should choose the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER based on its superior Steel Nomad DX12 performance. The NVIDIA card also offers 16 GB of memory versus 12 GB, a 256-bit bus versus 192-bit, and GDDR7 memory versus GDDR6, all of which support higher bandwidth workloads.

Architecture Differences

The two GPUs come from different architectural generations and design philosophies. The AMD Radeon RX 7800M uses the Navi 32 chip built on RDNA 3.0 architecture, with the codename "Wheat Nas" and the generation designation Navi Mobile (RX 7000M). The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti SUPER uses the GB203 chip built on Blackwell 2.0 architecture, with the generation designation GeForce 50. Both chips are fabricated by TSMC on a 5 nm process node, but the transistor counts and die sizes differ substantially.

The AMD chip contains 28,100 million transistors on a 346 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 81.2M per mm². The NVIDIA chip contains 45,600 million transistors on a 378 mm² die, resulting in a transistor density of 120.6M per mm². The NVIDIA chip packs over 60% more transistors into a die that is only about 9% larger, indicating a significantly higher integration density.

Both GPUs support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The AMD card's API support is consistent with its RDNA 3.0 architecture, which emphasizes shader and compute efficiency. The NVIDIA card's Blackwell 2.0 architecture includes dedicated tensor cores, which the AMD architecture does not list in its specifications. The tensor cores provide specialized hardware for AI and machine learning workloads, a capability that is absent from the AMD card's recorded feature set.

The AMD card's predecessor is listed as Polaris Mobile, indicating a generational leap from the older Polaris architecture to RDNA 3.0. The NVIDIA card has no recorded predecessor or successor in the database. The AMD card was released on September 10, 2024, while the NVIDIA card's release date is recorded as December 31, 2025. Both GPUs are listed as Active in production status.

The integrated form factor of the AMD card reflects its mobile design target, with no separate power connectors and portable-device-dependent display outputs. The NVIDIA card's dual-slot design, 16-pin power connector, and fixed display output configuration indicate a desktop-oriented product. These architectural and physical differences reinforce the performance gap observed in the benchmark data: the NVIDIA card is designed for high-power desktop scenarios where its larger transistor count, higher clock speeds, and greater memory bandwidth can be fully utilized, while the AMD card is optimized for the power and thermal constraints of a mobile platform.
