AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB vs NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Comparison

AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 occupy different tiers in the database, with the AMD card sitting in the 87th percentile of all GPUs while the NVIDIA card sits in the 82nd percentile. Despite that percentile gap, the direct benchmark comparison tells a more complex story, one where architectural generation and raw compute throughput dominate. The recorded data shows two cards with identical 12 GB memory capacities and identical 250 W power targets, yet their performance profiles diverge sharply in the tests available. This analysis breaks down where each card excels, what the numbers imply, and which buyer profile each suits.

Where Each One Wins

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB does not win a single direct benchmark in the head-to-head comparison. The two recorded tests, 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 and Geekbench Vulkan, both favor the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 by substantial margins. However, the AMD card holds its own in the broader database context. Its average benchmark score of 55,698 places it within 0.1% of the AMD Radeon 8060S, within 0.7% of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080, and 1.6% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro W5700X. The RTX 5070, by contrast, posts an average score of 40,377, which puts it just 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 580 and 2% ahead of the NVIDIA RTX A500 Mobile.

The win distribution in the direct tests is entirely NVIDIA's: two wins out of two. The AMD card's strength, if it can be called that, lies in its consistency across a different set of workloads. Its Geekbench Vulkan score of 108,994, while far below the RTX 5070's 178,923, still represents a healthy result for a RDNA 2.0 part. The RTX 5070 wins in both synthetic DX12 and Vulkan scenarios, which suggests its Blackwell architecture handles modern API workloads more efficiently. The data does not show any test where the AMD card takes the lead, so the use-case split hinges on what the two cards offer outside the direct benchmarks: the AMD card's higher percentile ranking and closer proximity to flagship-level rivals like the RTX 5080.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The direct comparison between these two cards is lopsided. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 scores 5,077 against the AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB's 2,402. That is a 52.7% advantage for NVIDIA, a margin that dwarfs any other gap in the database for these two cards. The result makes sense given the RTX 5070's 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 throughput versus the AMD card's 13.21 TFLOPS, a more than 2x raw compute advantage. The Steel Nomad test is a modern DX12 workload, and the newer Blackwell architecture handles it with ease.

The Geekbench Vulkan test shows a similar pattern, though the gap narrows in percentage terms. The RTX 5070 scores 178,923, while the AMD card scores 108,994. That is a 39.1% lead for NVIDIA. Vulkan tends to favor architectures with higher geometry throughput and better driver optimization, and the RTX 5070's 192 texture mapping units and 80 ROPs contribute to its higher pixel rate of 201.0 GPixel/s and texture rate of 482.3 GTexel/s. The AMD card posts 165.2 GPixel/s and 413.0 GTexel/s, respectable numbers for RDNA 2.0 but not enough to close the gap.

The average benchmark score comparison tells a different story. The AMD card's 55,698 average is 38% higher than the RTX 5070's 40,377. This discrepancy arises because the database averages a broader set of tests, including older DirectX and compute workloads where the AMD card's higher percentile ranking (87th vs 82nd) reflects better overall standing. The RTX 5070's nearest rivals in the database are lower-tier professional cards like the AMD Radeon Pro 580 and AMD Radeon Pro WX 7100, while the AMD RX 6750 GRE sits near the RTX 5080. The direct head-to-head favors NVIDIA, but the aggregate database ranking favors AMD.

Specification Differences

The two cards diverge on nearly every core specification except memory capacity, bus width, TDP, and slot width. Both have 12 GB of memory on a 192-bit bus, both draw 250 W, and both are dual-slot designs. Beyond that, the differences are stark.

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB uses GDDR6 memory clocked at 2250 MHz with 18 Gbps effective speed, yielding 432.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 uses GDDR7 memory at 1750 MHz with 28 Gbps effective speed, yielding 672.0 GB/s. That is a 55.6% bandwidth advantage for NVIDIA, which directly impacts texture-heavy and compute-heavy workloads.

Shading units: the AMD card has 2,560, the RTX 5070 has 6,144. Texture mapping units: 160 vs 192. Render output units: 64 vs 80. Ray tracing cores: 40 vs 48. Tensor cores: the AMD card has none, while the RTX 5070 has 192. Clock speeds are similar, with the AMD card boosting to 2581 MHz and the NVIDIA card boosting to 2512 MHz, though the AMD card has a higher game clock of 2439 MHz.

Pixel rate: 165.2 GPixel/s for AMD, 201.0 GPixel/s for NVIDIA. Texture rate: 413.0 GTexel/s vs 482.3 GTexel/s. FP32 performance: 13.21 TFLOPS vs 30.87 TFLOPS. FP16 performance: AMD lists 26.43 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio), NVIDIA lists 30.87 TFLOPS (1:1 ratio). The power connectors differ, with AMD using 1x 6-pin plus 1x 8-pin and NVIDIA using a single 16-pin. The bus interface also differs: PCIe 4.0 x16 for AMD versus PCIe 5.0 x16 for NVIDIA.

Architecture Differences

The architectural gap between these two cards spans a full generation. The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB is built on RDNA 2.0, using the Navi 22 chip fabricated on TSMC's 7 nm process. The die measures 335 mm² and contains 17,200 million transistors, giving a transistor density of 51.3 million per mm². The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 uses the Blackwell 2.0 architecture, built on the GB205 chip fabricated on TSMC's 5 nm process. The die is smaller at 263 mm² but packs 31,100 million transistors, resulting in a density of 118.3 million per mm². That is more than double the transistor density, which explains the RTX 5070's massive compute advantage despite a smaller physical die.

The AMD card belongs to the Navi II (RX 6000) generation, while the RTX 5070 belongs to the GeForce 50 generation. The AMD card's predecessor is Navi and its successor is Navi III, while the RTX 5070's predecessor is the GeForce 40 series and its successor is the GeForce 60 series. The release dates reflect this gap: the AMD card launched on October 16, 2023, and the RTX 5070 launched on March 3, 2025.

The RTX 5070 includes tensor cores (192 of them), which the AMD card lacks entirely. This is a feature-level difference that affects AI-accelerated workloads, though the database does not include specific tensor core benchmarks. The RTX 5070 also has more ray tracing cores (48 vs 40) and supports a newer memory type. Display outputs differ: the AMD card offers 1x HDMI 2.1 plus 3x DisplayPort 1.4a, while the RTX 5070 offers 1x HDMI 2.1b plus 3x DisplayPort 2.1b. Both support DirectX 12 Ultimate (12_2), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4.

The Verdict

The recorded data points to a clear performance hierarchy in direct benchmarks, but the aggregate scores complicate the picture. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 wins both head-to-head tests by wide margins, taking the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test with a 52.7% lead and the Geekbench Vulkan test with a 39.1% lead. Anyone prioritizing modern DX12 or Vulkan performance should choose the RTX 5070 based on these numbers alone. Its 30.87 TFLOPS FP32 throughput, 672.0 GB/s memory bandwidth, and 192 tensor cores provide a generational leap over the RDNA 2.0 part.

The AMD Radeon RX 6750 GRE 12 GB, however, sits higher in the overall database ranking. Its 87th percentile and average score of 55,698 place it within 0.7% of the RTX 5080, a much more powerful card in most respects. The RTX 5070's 82nd percentile and 40,377 average score put it closer to professional workstation cards like the AMD Radeon Pro 580. This suggests the AMD card performs more consistently across a wider variety of workloads, even if it loses the specific tests recorded here.

The choice depends on workload. For modern gaming benchmarks and compute tasks that leverage Blackwell's architecture, the RTX 5070 is the clear winner. For a broader range of applications where the database's aggregate scoring applies, the AMD card holds a higher standing. The RTX 5070's launch MSRP of 549 USD versus the AMD card's 334 USD launch MSRP reflects this performance gap, though the AMD card's higher average score indicates it may offer more balanced overall performance in mixed workloads. The data does not support a single winner; it supports two different use cases.
