Analysis: AMD Radeon Pro 5700 vs NVIDIA TITAN Xp
The Verdict
The data separates these two cards decisively. The NVIDIA TITAN Xp wins 9 out of 9 head-to-head benchmarks, with no tests favoring the AMD Radeon Pro 5700. The average benchmark scores reflect this gap: the TITAN Xp posts 19,177 versus 18,189 for the Radeon Pro 5700, a difference of roughly 5.4%. In percentile terms, the TITAN Xp sits at the 64th percentile of all GPUs, while the Radeon Pro 5700 sits at the 62nd, closer in rank than the benchmark deltas might suggest, but still a consistent NVIDIA advantage.
For a user choosing strictly from this data, the TITAN Xp is the pick for any workload involving DirectX, OpenCL, Vulkan, or general compute. Its wins range from 9.7% in Passmark G2D to 94.9% in Passmark DirectX 11. The Radeon Pro 5700 offers no benchmark category where it leads. However, the Radeon Pro 5700 has a 130 W TDP versus 250 W for the TITAN Xp, and it requires no power connectors compared to the TITAN Xp's 1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin setup. It also uses a 7 nm process versus 16 nm. For users prioritizing power efficiency and thermal footprint, the Radeon Pro 5700 is the rational choice, the data shows it delivers 62nd-percentile performance at roughly half the power draw. For users prioritizing raw performance across every measured metric, the TITAN Xp is the only logical selection.
Where Each One Wins
The NVIDIA TITAN Xp wins every benchmark category in the head-to-head comparison. The largest margins come in compute-heavy and legacy DirectX workloads. In Passmark GPU Compute, the TITAN Xp scores 9,430 against 4,961 for the Radeon Pro 5700, a 90.1% advantage. In Passmark DirectX 11, the TITAN Xp scores 152 versus 78, a 94.9% lead. These are not marginal differences; they indicate fundamentally higher throughput in shader-bound tasks.
The Radeon Pro 5700's "wins" are structural rather than benchmark-based. It has no display outputs, while the TITAN Xp has 1x HDMI 2.0 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a. The Radeon Pro 5700 is an IGP (integrated graphics processor) form factor, meaning it is designed for integration into a system rather than as a standalone expansion card. Its 130 W TDP and 300 W suggested PSU (versus 600 W for the TITAN Xp) make it suitable for compact or power-constrained builds. The Radeon Pro 5700 also supports PCIe 4.0 x16, while the TITAN Xp is limited to PCIe 3.0 x16, a forward-looking interface advantage, though no benchmark in the data isolates this benefit.
For FP16 workloads, the Radeon Pro 5700 shows a theoretical edge: it delivers 12.44 TFLOPS with a 2:1 ratio, while the TITAN Xp delivers only 189.8 GFLOPS at a 1:64 ratio. This is a significant architectural difference, but no benchmark in the provided data tests FP16 performance directly, so its practical impact remains unquantified here.
Architecture Differences
The NVIDIA TITAN Xp uses the GP102 chip on a 16 nm TSMC process, with 11,800 million transistors on a 471 mm² die. The transistor density is 25.1M per mm². The Radeon Pro 5700 uses the Navi 10 chip on a 7 nm TSMC process, with 10,300 million transistors on a 251 mm² die. The transistor density is 41.0M per mm², a 63% higher density, reflecting the more advanced process node.
The TITAN Xp has 3,840 shading units, 240 TMUs, and 96 ROPs. The Radeon Pro 5700 has 2,304 shading units, 144 TMUs, and 64 ROPs. In raw pixel throughput, the TITAN Xp reaches 151.9 GPixel/s versus 86.40 GPixel/s for the Radeon Pro 5700. Texture rate is 379.7 GTexel/s versus 194.4 GTexel/s. FP32 compute is 12.15 TFLOPS versus 6.221 TFLOPS. The TITAN Xp is roughly double the Radeon Pro 5700 in most throughput metrics, which aligns with its benchmark dominance.
Memory architecture differs substantially. The TITAN Xp has 12 GB of GDDR5X on a 384-bit bus, delivering 547.6 GB/s bandwidth. The Radeon Pro 5700 has 8 GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, delivering 384.0 GB/s bandwidth. While GDDR6 is a newer memory type, the TITAN Xp's wider bus and higher bandwidth give it a clear advantage in bandwidth-sensitive workloads.
Both cards lack ray tracing and tensor cores. Both support DirectX 12 (12_1), OpenGL 4.6, and Vulkan 1.4. The TITAN Xp is from the GeForce 10 generation (Pascal architecture), released in April 2017. The Radeon Pro 5700 is from the Radeon Pro Mac (Navi Series) generation (RDNA 1.0 architecture), released in August 2020. The TITAN Xp has a predecessor (GeForce 900) and successor (GeForce 20); the Radeon Pro 5700 has neither listed. The TITAN Xp's production status is end-of-life, as is the Radeon Pro 5700's.
FAQ
Q: Which card has better raw compute performance?
A: The NVIDIA TITAN Xp has 12.15 TFLOPS FP32 compute versus 6.221 TFLOPS for the AMD Radeon Pro 5700. In Passmark GPU Compute, the TITAN Xp scores 9,430 versus 4,961, a 90.1% advantage.
Q: Does the Radeon Pro 5700 have any advantage in memory technology?
A: Yes, it uses GDDR6 memory at 12 Gbps effective, while the TITAN Xp uses GDDR5X at 11.4 Gbps effective. However, the TITAN Xp has a 384-bit bus and 547.6 GB/s bandwidth, versus a 256-bit bus and 384.0 GB/s for the Radeon Pro 5700, so the TITAN Xp still has higher total bandwidth.
Q: Which card is more power-efficient?
A: The AMD Radeon Pro 5700 has a 130 W TDP and requires no power connectors, with a 300 W suggested PSU. The NVIDIA TITAN Xp has a 250 W TDP, requires 1x 6-pin + 1x 8-pin power connectors, and a 600 W suggested PSU. The Radeon Pro 5700 also uses a 7 nm process versus 16 nm, contributing to its lower power draw.
Q: Can the Radeon Pro 5700 be used as a standalone graphics card?
A: No, it has no display outputs and is an IGP form factor. The TITAN Xp, by contrast, has 1x HDMI 2.0 and 3x DisplayPort 1.4a outputs and is a dual-slot card.
Q: Which card performs better in Vulkan?
A: The NVIDIA TITAN Xp scores 87,180 in Geekbench Vulkan, versus 51,289 for the Radeon Pro 5700. This is a 70% advantage for the TITAN Xp.
Q: Are there any workloads where the Radeon Pro 5700 might be preferable?
A: Based on the data, the Radeon Pro 5700 offers FP16 compute of 12.44 TFLOPS (2:1 ratio), versus 189.8 GFLOPS (1:64) for the TITAN Xp. No benchmark in the provided data tests this, but for FP16-specific workloads, the Radeon Pro 5700's architecture is theoretically superior. Additionally, its lower power draw and lack of external power connectors make it suitable for integrated, low-power systems.
Head-to-Head Benchmarks
The largest single win for the NVIDIA TITAN Xp comes in Passmark DirectX 11, where it scores 152 versus 78 for the Radeon Pro 5700, a 94.9% delta. This is closely followed by Passmark GPU Compute at 90.1% (9,430 vs 4,961). These two results suggest that the TITAN Xp's advantage is most pronounced in shader-heavy and compute-oriented tasks, where its 3,840 shading units and 240 TMUs can be fully utilized.
In Geekbench Vulkan, the TITAN Xp scores 87,180 versus 51,289, a 70% lead. This is notable because Vulkan is a modern, low-overhead API, and the Radeon Pro 5700's RDNA architecture should theoretically handle it well. The data indicates otherwise, the TITAN Xp's higher raw throughput (12.15 TFLOPS vs 6.221 TFLOPS) overcomes any architectural efficiency of RDNA 1.0.
Passmark DirectX 10 shows a 67.6% advantage (119 vs 71), and Passmark DirectX 12 shows a 43.8% advantage (69 vs 48). The DirectX 12 margin is the smallest among the DirectX tests, but still a clear win for the TITAN Xp. Passmark DirectX 9 shows a 58% lead (226 vs 143). In Geekbench OpenCL, the TITAN Xp scores 72,585 versus 52,787, a 37.5% advantage, the smallest margin among the three Geekbench tests but still substantial.
Passmark G3D shows a 61.9% lead (18,750 vs 11,583), which is the overall 3D graphics score and aligns closely with the average benchmark gap. Passmark G2D is the closest result overall, with the TITAN Xp scoring 883 versus 805, a 9.7% advantage. This is a 2D graphics test, and the smaller margin suggests that both cards handle basic 2D workloads adequately, with the TITAN Xp still ahead.
The Radeon Pro 5700 has no wins to analyze. Its best relative performance comes in Passmark G2D (9.7% deficit) and Geekbench OpenCL (37.5% deficit). Its worst relative performance is in Passmark DirectX 11 (94.9% deficit) and Passmark GPU Compute (90.1% deficit). This pattern suggests the Radeon Pro 5700 is relatively stronger in general-purpose compute (OpenCL) and 2D tasks, but falls far behind in legacy DirectX and pure compute throughput.
