Fragz' verdict
The Radeon RX 9070 XT takes a decisive win here, leading the Radeon RX 9070 GRE by 46.4% in overall GPU score. This performance gap is evident across all our GPU tests, with the XT delivering smoother frame rates like 64.5 FPS in Earth II Vulkan and 47.8 FPS in Earth II Landing DX12 Ultimate, compared to the GRE's 47.6 FPS and 29.1 FPS respectively. The XT also boasts significantly higher raw compute with an ALU index of 439260, alongside greater memory bandwidth at 105 GB/s and 16 GB of VRAM, giving it a clear advantage for demanding games. For gamers seeking top-tier performance and future-proofing, the Radeon RX 9070 XT is the stronger choice. However, the Radeon RX 9070 GRE has only one verified run in our database, so while the XT is clearly more powerful, the GRE's full potential might be slightly understated by this thin sample.

What the numbers mean
The headline score is the part's best measured run, and the measurements under it come from that same run. It shows what the part has been proven to do — not what an average rig gets out of it. 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
