Fragz' verdict
The RTX 4080 takes the top spot in this comparison, leading the RTX 4070 Ti by a solid 24% in GPU score. This performance advantage is evident across our tests, with the RTX 4080 delivering higher frames per second in Earth II Vulkan, Mission to Earth II DX12, and Earth II Landing DX12 Ultimate. The 4080 also boasts a significantly higher raw compute ALU index and memory bandwidth at 200 GB/s, alongside an extra 4 GB of VRAM. While our verified run samples are thin for both cards, the numbers clearly indicate the RTX 4080 is the stronger performer for gamers seeking maximum frame rates. However, the RTX 4070 Ti still provides very capable performance in all tested scenes, making it a viable option if its output meets your gaming needs.

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
