Fragz' verdict
The Radeon RX 9070 XT delivers a crushing performance, leading the GTX 1650 Ti by an incredible 1044.9% in GPU score. This massive gap is evident in gaming performance, with the Radeon hitting 64.5 FPS in Earth II Vulkan, 54.5 FPS in Mission to Earth II DX12, and 49.9 FPS in Earth II Landing DX12 Ultimate, while the GTX 1650 Ti only manages 6.1, 7.1, and 10.7 FPS respectively. The Radeon also boasts vastly superior raw compute with an ALU index of 439388 compared to 74525, 105 GB/s of bandwidth versus 37 GB/s, and a generous 16 GB of VRAM against 4 GB, alongside support for ray tracing and mesh shaders. For gamers, this means the Radeon RX 9070 XT offers a vastly smoother experience and access to modern graphics features, leaving the GTX 1650 Ti far behind, especially given its thin sample of only two verified runs. While the GTX 1650 Ti might handle very old or undemanding titles, the Radeon is the undisputed choice for any serious gaming.

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
