Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4080 is the clear winner here, scoring 14503 compared to the Radeon RX 9070 GRE's 7650, leading by a substantial 89.6%. This translates directly to gaming performance, with the RTX 4080 delivering significantly higher frame rates, such as 62.9 FPS in Earth II (Vulkan) and 77.9 FPS in Mission to Earth II (DX12), while the Radeon managed 47.6 FPS and 38.7 FPS respectively. The RTX 4080 also boasts superior raw compute with an ALU index of 539839 versus 267431, much greater memory bandwidth at 195 GB/s compared to 71 GB/s, and more VRAM at 16 GB versus 12 GB. For gamers, this means the RTX 4080 will provide a much smoother experience and handle demanding titles with higher settings and resolutions more effectively. However, it's worth noting that the Radeon RX 9070 GRE only has one verified run in our database, suggesting the observed performance might have some uncertainty.
Generated November 7, 2026 from the 6 verified runs available then. The verdict is never silently rewritten — new numbers get a new verdict.
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
