GPU Comparison

The NVIDIA RTX A2000 Mobile and the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 represent two distinct eras of GPU design, with the former being a modern mobile workstation chip and the latter a legacy desktop part. The data from the benchmark database shows a decisive generational leap in performance, but the comparison reveals more than just raw speed. The A2000 Mobile dominates the single shared benchmark, but the GTX 570 holds its own in the broader performance percentile, making this a study in architectural evolution versus raw legacy horsepower.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The only direct benchmark comparison available between these two cards is the Geekbench OpenCL test, and the results are stark. The NVIDIA RTX A2000 Mobile scores 56,518 points, while the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 manages just 13,515 points. This translates to a deltaPct of 318.2%, meaning the A2000 Mobile is a staggering 318.2% faster than the GTX 570 in this compute-oriented workload. This is not a marginal improvement; it is a complete and utter rout. The A2000 Mobile’s score is so high that it sits in the 55th percentile of all GPUs, while the GTX 570’s score places it in the 54th percentile. Despite the massive delta between them, their percentile rankings are nearly identical, which indicates that the benchmark landscape has shifted dramatically; the GTX 570 was a high-end part in its day, but its absolute performance is now dwarfed by even a mid-range modern mobile chip.

The A2000 Mobile’s wins are not limited to the head-to-head test. Its average benchmark score across all tests is 13,821, which is higher than the GTX 570’s average of 13,515. This reinforces the OpenCL result, showing that the A2000 Mobile is consistently faster across a variety of workloads. Looking at the A2000 Mobile’s individual benchmark results, it shows particular strength in the Passmark G3D test with a score of 9,611, and in the Passmark G2D test with a score of 491. Its compute performance in Passmark GPU Compute is 4,334. The GTX 570, by contrast, only has a single Geekbench OpenCL score in the database, which limits the depth of comparison. However, the A2000 Mobile’s performance in the head-to-head test is so overwhelming that it effectively defines the performance relationship between the two.

The A2000 Mobile’s nearest rivals in the database further contextualize its position. It sits just 0.1% ahead of the AMD Radeon 660M and 0.6% ahead of the AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT, while being 0.4% behind the AMD Radeon RX 570X and 1.5% behind the NVIDIA Tesla K10. This indicates that the A2000 Mobile’s performance is in a tight cluster with these other cards, despite the massive gap to the GTX 570. The GTX 570, on the other hand, is nearly identical in performance to the AMD Radeon HD 7770M and the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, with deltas of -0.2% and -0.2% respectively. It is also 0.3% ahead of the NVIDIA P106-090 and 0.8% ahead of the AMD Radeon Pro 555. This shows that while the GTX 570 is an old card, its performance level is still comparable to some modern low-end and mid-range parts, but it is nowhere near the A2000 Mobile’s class.

A: The GTX 570 has a TDP of 219 W and requires a suggested PSU of 550 W. It uses two 6-pin power connectors. The RTX A2000 Mobile, in contrast, has a TDP of 95 W and uses no power connectors, as it is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) for mobile devices.

The Verdict

The data is unambiguous: the NVIDIA RTX A2000 Mobile is the superior performer. Its 318.2% lead in the Geekbench OpenCL test and its higher average benchmark score make it the clear choice for anyone prioritizing raw compute or modern graphical performance. The A2000 Mobile is also a more modern and efficient part, with a significantly lower TDP of 95 W compared to the GTX 570’s 219 W. The GTX 570’s only advantages are its lower percentile ranking (which is negligible) and its legacy status. It is a card from a bygone era, and its performance is now comparable to low-end modern parts like the AMD Radeon HD 7770M and the AMD Radeon Pro 555.

For a user looking to run modern applications, games, or compute workloads, the RTX A2000 Mobile is the only logical choice. Its support for DirectX 12 Ultimate and Vulkan 1.4 ensures compatibility with current software, while its superior memory bandwidth and raw compute power provide a much better experience. The GTX 570, with its lack of Vulkan support and older architecture, would be a poor fit for anything beyond legacy tasks. The A2000 Mobile also offers modern features like RT (Ray Tracing) cores and Tensor cores, which are completely absent from the GTX 570, making it a much more future-proof investment. In short, the A2000 Mobile is the definitive winner in this comparison, offering a generational leap in every measurable aspect.

Specification Differences

The specification sheets for these two GPUs reveal fundamental differences in design philosophy and technological era. The RTX A2000 Mobile is built on an 8 nm process by Samsung, while the GTX 570 uses a 40 nm process by TSMC. This leads to a massive difference in transistor density; the A2000 Mobile packs 43.5 million transistors per mm², while the GTX 570 only manages 5.8 million. The A2000 Mobile has 8,700 million transistors on a 200 mm² die, whereas the GTX 570 has 3,000 million transistors on a much larger 520 mm² die.

In terms of memory, the A2000 Mobile uses 4 GB of GDDR6 on a 128-bit bus, providing 192.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The GTX 570 uses 1280 MB of GDDR5 on a 320-bit bus, providing 152.0 GB/s of bandwidth. The A2000 Mobile has a much higher core configuration with 2,560 shading units, 80 TMUs, and 48 ROPs. The GTX 570 has 480 shading units, 60 TMUs, and 40 ROPs. The A2000 Mobile also features 20 RT cores and 80 Tensor cores, which are absent from the GTX 570. The clock speeds also differ, with the A2000 Mobile having a base clock of 1215 MHz and a boost clock of 1687 MHz, while the GTX 570 has no base or boost clock listed, only a memory clock of 950 MHz (3.8 Gbps effective).

Architecture Differences

The architectural gulf between these two GPUs is immense. The RTX A2000 Mobile is based on the Ampere architecture, specifically the GA107 chip, and is part of the Ampere-MW (Ax000) generation. The GTX 570 is based on the Fermi 2.0 architecture, using the GF110 chip, and is part of the GeForce 500 generation. This represents a jump of several architectural generations. The Ampere architecture introduces support for hardware ray tracing via its 20 RT cores and AI acceleration via its 80 Tensor cores, features that are entirely non-existent in the Fermi 2.0 design. The A2000 Mobile’s FP32 performance is rated at 8.637 TFLOPS, while the GTX 570’s is 1,405.4 GFLOPS, a massive difference in raw compute capability. The A2000 Mobile also supports FP16 at a 1:1 ratio, while the GTX 570 has no FP16 performance listed.

The A2000 Mobile’s memory runs at 1500 MHz (12 Gbps effective), while the GTX 570’s runs at 950 MHz (3.8 Gbps effective). The A2000 Mobile is a mobile IGP with a slot width of "IGP" and no power connectors, while the GTX 570 is a dual-slot desktop card with two 6-pin power connectors, a 550 W suggested PSU, and a length of 267 mm (10.5 inches). The bus interface also differs, with the A2000 Mobile using PCIe 4.0 x16 and the GTX 570 using PCIe 2.0 x16. The A2000 Mobile’s display outputs are listed as "Portable Device Dependent," while the GTX 570 has 2x DVI and 1x mini-HDMI 1.3a. The release dates also show the generational gap: the A2000 Mobile was released on April 11, 2021, while the GTX 570 was released on December 6, 2010. The GTX 570 had a launch MSRP of 349 USD, while the A2000 Mobile has no listed launch MSRP.
