NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000 vs AMD Radeon Pro VII
General info
Comparison of graphics card architecture, market segment, value for money and other general parameters.
Technical specs
General performance parameters such as number of shaders, GPU core clock speeds, manufacturing process, texturing and calculation speed. These parameters indirectly speak of performance, but for precise assessment you have to consider their benchmark and gaming test results.
Compatibility, dimensions and requirements
Information on compatibility with other computer components. Useful when choosing a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop video cards it's interface and bus (motherboard compatibility), additional power connectors (power supply compatibility).
Memory
Parameters of memory installed: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors don't have dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM.
Video outputs and ports
Types and number of video connectors present on the reviewed GPUs. As a rule, data in this section is precise only for desktop reference ones. OEM manufacturers may change the number and type of output ports, while for notebook cards availability of certain video outputs ports depends on the laptop model rather than on the card itself.
API support
APIs supported, including particular versions of those APIs.
Benchmark performance
Non-gaming benchmark performance comparison. Note that overall benchmark performance is measured in points in 0-100 range.
Overall score
This is our combined benchmark performance rating. We are regularly improving our combining algorithms, but if you find some perceived inconsistencies, feel free to speak up in comments section, we usually fix problems quickly.
Passmark
This is probably the most ubiquitous benchmark, part of Passmark PerformanceTest suite. It gives the graphics card a thorough evaluation under various load, providing four separate benchmarks for Direct3D versions 9, 10, 11 and 12 (the last being done in 4K resolution if possible), and few more tests engaging DirectCompute capabilities.
Gaming performance
Let's see how good the compared graphics cards are for gaming. Particular gaming benchmark results are measured in FPS.
Advantages of NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000
17.7% better performance in benchmarks
More pipelines (4608 vs 3840)
Advantages of AMD Radeon Pro VII
Much newer (13 May 2020 vs 13 August 2018)
Cheaper ($2301 vs $7990)
Wider memory bus (4096 vs 384 bit)
Higher memory bandwidth (1024 vs 672 GB/s)
Finer manufacturing process technology (7 vs 12 nm)
Lower power consumption (250W vs 260W), meaning that the rival with higher TDP might require a better cooler or other thermal solution.
So, which one is the better CPU?
Judging by the results of synthetic and gaming tests, Technical City recommends NVIDIA Quadro RTX 6000, since it shows better performance.
