Measured comparison

Fragz' verdict

The Radeon RX 9070 XT clearly takes the win in this GPU face-off, outperforming the RTX 4070 Laptop GPU by a substantial 74.2% in our component score. This lead is evident across all our GPU benchmarks, with the Radeon card delivering 64.5 FPS in Earth II (Vulkan) compared to the Laptop GPU's 26 FPS, and also showing a significant advantage in Mission to Earth II (DX12) and Earth II Landing (DX12 Ultimate). The Radeon RX 9070 XT further solidifies its position with a higher raw compute, an ALU index of 439260, a memory bandwidth of 105 GB/s, and double the VRAM at 16 GB, giving it a clear edge for demanding titles. However, the RTX 4070 Laptop GPU, with its peak clock of 2670 MHz and a solid 8 GB of VRAM, still offers decent performance for gaming on the go, making it a viable option if portability is your priority.

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
