Fragz' verdict
The Radeon RX 7900 XTX is the clear winner here, leading the NVIDIA RTX A3000 Laptop GPU by an impressive 649.2% in overall GPU score. This translates directly to gaming performance, with the Radeon card delivering 79.8 FPS in Earth II (Vulkan) and 101.6 FPS in Mission to Earth II (DX12), while the RTX A3000 Laptop GPU managed only 11.2 FPS and 13.8 FPS. Beyond frame rates, the Radeon also boasts a much higher raw compute with an ALU index of 803269 compared to 93658, and features a substantial 24 GB of VRAM versus the 6 GB on the laptop GPU, offering a clear edge for demanding titles and high-resolution textures. However, it's crucial to remember the NVIDIA RTX A3000 is a Laptop GPU, designed for mobile rigs where space and power are constrained, and with only one verified run for the A3000 and two for the XTX, these numbers should be taken with a grain of salt.

What the numbers mean
The GPU score is the graphics card's own performance — that is what we rank on. GAMING is the whole rig's score in the best PC we measured the card in, and depends on processor, memory and storage. We show both and never mix them.
All numbers come from our benchmark suite: four hand-built 3D scenes written directly against the graphics APIs in Rust, the same load on every PC. The methodology is open at https://whatfps.com/metodik
