Fragz' verdict
The Radeon RX 9070 XT emerges as the clear winner over the RTX 4060 Ti, leading by 72.1% in overall GPU score. This performance gap is evident across our GPU benchmarks, with the Radeon card delivering 64.7 FPS in Earth II (Vulkan) compared to the RTX 4060 Ti's 26.6 FPS, and showing stronger results in Mission to Earth II (DX12) and Earth II Landing (DX12 Ultimate). Beyond framerates, the Radeon RX 9070 XT also boasts a higher raw compute with an ALU index of 442372, along with more memory bandwidth at 106 GB/s and double the VRAM at 16 GB compared to the RTX 4060 Ti's 8 GB. For a gamer, these numbers translate to a significantly smoother and more capable experience, especially in demanding titles and resolutions. While the RTX 4060 Ti does support ray tracing and mesh shaders, its measured performance is substantially lower, and it’s worth noting that its results are based on a thin sample of only two verified runs.

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
