AMD Radeon Pro W7600 And W7500 Review: Value-Driven Pro-Vis Graphics

How We Configured Our Test Systems: We tested the professional graphics cards represented in this article on a MSI Z790 Carbon motherboard, equipped with a Core i9-13900KS processor and 32GB of G.SKILL DDR5 RAM clocked at 5,800MHz. The first thing we did when configuring the test system was enter the UEFI and set all values to their "high performance" defaults, then we disabled any integrated peripherals that wouldn't be put to use, and enabled Resizable BAR support. The memory's clock was dialed in to its optimal performance settings using its XMP profile and the solid state drive was then formatted and Windows 11 Professional was installed and fully updated. When the Windows installation was complete, we installed all of the drivers, applications and benchmark tools necessary to complete our tests.

Please note, in the absence of a lower-end competitive NVIDIA card like the T600 or T1000, we tested the most mainstream Quadro we had available, a Quadro RTX 4000, for an additional reference point.

SiSoft SANDRA 20201 GPU Benchmarks

SANDRA's GPGPU Image Processing benchmark runs through an array of filters on its reference data and offers up an aggregate score, derived from a multitude of individual results. Its GPGPU Cryptography benchmark churns through an assortment of workloads, and presents individual results for overall bandwidth, AES256 encryption and decryption, and SHA2-256 hashing bandwidth. CUDA and OpenCL code paths are available in these tests and using the CUDA path with NVIDIA GPUs usually results in better performance, but we tested both to get a more complete picture.


The new Radeon Pro W7600 And W7500 perform well here, sandwiching the previous-gen Radeon Pro W6600, but clearly outrunning the Quadro RTX 4000. We've also included two higher-end cards for reference, which show the kind of huge performance gains offered by springing for a beefier, more-powerful GPU.

LuxMark v4.0 Benchmarks

IndigoBench Rendering Benchmarks

This benchmark tends to favor NVIDIA GPUs, as evidenced by the Quadro RTX 4000 trading blows with the Radeon Pro W7600, depending on the model. The Radeon Pro W7500 falls behind the previous-gen W6600 here, again, likely due to its reduced memory bandwidth.

Blender v3.6 Rendering Benchmarks

Blender is a free and open source 3D creation suite that can handle everything from modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation. It has a built-in benchmarking tool that will track the time it takes to complete rendering a particular model. We used a GPU-focused BMW and the "fishy cat" models for these tests...

In the latest Blender benchmark, the Radeon Pro W7600 And W7500 sandwich the Radeon Pro W6600 yet again.
