AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE vs NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server Comparison

AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE and NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server occupy distinctly different segments of the database, with their benchmark averages placing them far apart. The Radeon RX 7650 GRE, from the Radeon RX 7000 series, shows an average benchmark score of 42,723, while the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server records an average score of 5,996. These figures, however, reflect a narrow set of recorded tests, and the single shared benchmark tells a more specific story about raw graphics throughput. The data indicates a clear split in capabilities, driven by fundamental differences in architecture, memory configuration, and intended workload.

Where Each One Wins

The NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server wins the only head-to-head benchmark recorded in the database. In the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the NVIDIA card scores 5,996, while the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE scores 2,336. This represents a 61% lead for the NVIDIA part, as expressed by the delta percentage. This is a substantial margin, indicating that in this particular DirectX 12 workload, the NVIDIA GPU delivers more than twice the frame throughput of the AMD card.

However, the Radeon RX 7650 GRE wins in the broader context of the database’s percentile ranking. It sits at the 83rd percentile among all GPUs, whereas the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server sits at the 34th percentile. This discrepancy suggests that while the NVIDIA card excels in the specific Steel Nomad test, its overall recorded performance profile, based on the available benchmarks, places it lower in the aggregate rankings. The AMD card’s average benchmark score of 42,723 is heavily influenced by its Geekbench OpenCL result of 83,109, which is not present for the NVIDIA card. The NVIDIA card’s average is solely derived from its Steel Nomad score of 5,996.

In terms of nearest rivals, the Radeon RX 7650 GRE is closely matched with several NVIDIA and AMD cards. Its average score of 42,723 is just 1.2% below the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER (43,223) and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24 GB (43,262). It is also 1.3% below the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 Mobile (43,268) and the NVIDIA Quadro M6000 (43,301). These small deltas indicate that the RX 7650 GRE performs in a tight competitive band around these cards in aggregate terms.

The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server’s nearest rivals, based on its average score of 5,996, are far less powerful products. It is 0.1% behind the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770M (6,000) and the AMD Radeon RX 6400 (6,001). It is 0.2% ahead of the AMD FirePro W4100 (5,987) and the NVIDIA Quadro K4000M (5,986). This places the server GPU in the same aggregate performance tier as those older or entry-level cards, which is an artifact of the limited benchmark data available for this product.

The Verdict

From the recorded data, the choice between these two GPUs depends entirely on the workload. For the specific 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server is the clear winner, delivering a 61% higher score. This indicates superior raw performance in that synthetic DirectX 12 scenario.

For general-purpose compute workloads, as reflected by the Geekbench OpenCL score, the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE has a recorded advantage, but the NVIDIA card lacks a comparable OpenCL score in the database. The AMD card’s average benchmark score of 42,723 is far higher than the NVIDIA card’s 5,996, but this is due to the presence of an additional, high-scoring benchmark for the AMD card.

The percentile rankings reinforce this split. The RX 7650 GRE’s 83rd percentile placement suggests it outperforms the vast majority of GPUs in the database across the tests it has taken. The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server’s 34th percentile placement, while low, is based on a single test where it performs strongly in absolute terms but is not supported by other data points.

Users requiring maximum performance in the Steel Nomad DX12 workload should select the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server. Users whose workloads align with the OpenCL compute test and the aggregate scoring of the Radeon RX 7650 GRE would find that card more suitable based on the database’s measurements.

Head-to-Head Benchmarks

The sole head-to-head benchmark is the 3DMark Steel Nomad DX12 test. Here, the NVIDIA RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server scores 5,996, and the AMD Radeon RX 7650 GRE scores 2,336. The winner is the NVIDIA card, with a delta of -61%, meaning the AMD card is 61% slower than the NVIDIA card in this test. This is a decisive margin, showing that the NVIDIA GPU’s architecture and memory subsystem provide a significant advantage in this particular DirectX 12 rendering workload.

Beyond this direct comparison, the database offers indirect evidence through each card’s nearest rivals. The RX 7650 GRE’s closest competitors, such as the RTX 4070 SUPER and Quadro M6000 24 GB, all score within 1.3% of its average, indicating that its overall performance is well understood and consistent with those products. The RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server’s nearest rivals, including the GTX 770M and RX 6400, score within 0.2% of its average, which is a much lower performance tier. This contrast highlights how the NVIDIA server card’s single benchmark score places it in a different competitive context than the AMD card.

The data shows no other recorded tests where the two cards compete directly. The Radeon RX 7650 GRE has two benchmark entries, while the RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell Server has one. This asymmetry limits the breadth of the head-to-head analysis but does not obscure the clear result in the shared test.
