Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4070 Ti takes the overall win in GPU score, leading the Radeon RX 9070 XT by 2.5 percent, though its score is based on a single verified run. It showcases stronger performance in Mission to Earth II (DX12) at 62.1 FPS and Earth II Landing (DX12 Ultimate) at 55.2 FPS, backed by a higher ALU index of 568584 and 138 GB/s memory bandwidth. However, the Radeon RX 9070 XT pulls ahead significantly in Earth II (Vulkan) with 64.7 FPS and offers a larger 16 GB of VRAM, compared to the RTX 4070 Ti's 12 GB. This means the RTX 4070 Ti generally offers higher raw power and bandwidth for DirectX titles, but for those prioritizing Vulkan performance or more VRAM, the Radeon RX 9070 XT remains a strong contender.

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
