Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4070 Ti is the undisputed champion here, leading the RTX 3060 by a staggering 197.1% in its overall GPU score, though it's worth noting our data for the 4070 Ti is based on a single verified run. This massive performance gap translates directly into game performance, with the 4070 Ti delivering significantly higher frame rates across all our GPU benchmarks, including Earth II Vulkan, Mission to Earth II DX12, and Earth II Landing DX12 Ultimate. The 4070 Ti achieves this by leveraging a much higher raw compute (ALU index) and a substantially faster peak clock speed compared to the RTX 3060. For gamers seeking uncompromised performance and a top-tier experience, the RTX 4070 Ti is the clear choice. While the RTX 3060, with its 12 GB of VRAM, remains a capable card ranked 7th among our measured GPUs, it simply doesn't offer the same level of raw power or smooth framerates for demanding titles.

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
