Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4070 Ti takes a clear win here, outperforming the RTX 3070 by a massive 85.3% in its overall GPU score. It consistently delivers significantly higher frame rates across our benchmarks, hitting 49.9 FPS in Earth II Vulkan and 62.1 FPS in Mission to Earth II DX12, compared to the RTX 3070's 26 FPS and 32.4 FPS respectively. The RTX 4070 Ti boasts a much higher raw compute with an ALU index of 568584 and a peak clock of 2910 MHz, alongside 12 GB of VRAM, giving it a substantial edge for future-proofing and high-fidelity gaming. However, it's important to note that our data for both cards is based on a thin sample, with only two verified runs for the RTX 3070 and just one for the RTX 4070 Ti, so treat these numbers with a bit of caution. Given the significant performance gap, the RTX 3070 would only be a consideration if you're not chasing the absolute highest frame rates and are looking for a more modest upgrade.

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
