Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4070 SUPER takes a decisive win here, leading the RTX 5060 by a substantial 64.3% in overall GPU score. This performance gap is evident across our gaming scenes, with the 4070 SUPER hitting 43.4 FPS in Earth II Vulkan and 55.1 FPS in Mission to Earth II DX12, significantly outperforming the 5060's 25.9 FPS and 32.3 FPS respectively. Digging into the hardware, the 4070 SUPER boasts a much higher ALU index of 515147 compared to the 5060's 292015, and also offers 12 GB of VRAM versus 8 GB. While the RTX 5060 has a slightly higher peak clock at 2880 MHz, its lower raw compute and VRAM capacity mean it delivers a distinctly lower tier of performance. For gamers prioritizing a smoother, more powerful experience, the RTX 4070 SUPER is the clear choice.

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
