Fragz' verdict
The Radeon RX 9070 XT has the higher GPU score, with an 82.5 % lead over the RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU. This card dominates in heavy rendering passes across Vulkan, DX12, and DX12 Ultimate, meaning it usually copes better with heavy graphics in those APIs. It also shows superior muscle behind shaders and effects with an ALU index of 523,614 compared to 422,924. While the Radeon card provides more VRAM with 16 GB, the RTX 5070 Ti Laptop GPU remains the right pick when you need faster data movement in its own memory because it is highest on Memory bandwidth at 163 GB/s.

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
