Fragz' verdict
The Radeon RX 9070 XT takes the overall lead in GPU score, outperforming the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell by 5%. While the Radeon shows a strong advantage in Earth II (Vulkan) with 64.7 FPS compared to NVIDIA's 44.3 FPS, the NVIDIA card claws back some ground in Mission to Earth II (DX12) and Earth II Landing (DX12 Ultimate), hitting 56.2 FPS and 53.9 FPS respectively. NVIDIA also boasts significantly higher raw compute with an ALU index of 584939, a substantial 189 GB/s of bandwidth, and 24 GB of VRAM. However, with only one verified run for the NVIDIA RTX PRO 4000 Blackwell compared to seven for the Radeon, the sample size for NVIDIA is quite thin, suggesting its potential might be higher than currently reflected, especially in DX12 and DX12 Ultimate titles where it already shows a lead.

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
