Fragz' verdict
The RTX 5070 Ti is the clear winner here, beating the Radeon RX 9070 XT by 21.1% in overall GPU score. While the Radeon card pulls ahead in Earth II (Vulkan) at 64.5 FPS, the RTX 5070 Ti delivers superior framerates in Mission to Earth II (DX12) at 75.5 FPS and Earth II Landing (DX12 Ultimate) with 62.2 FPS. This stronger performance is backed by its significantly higher ALU index of 636074 and a much greater memory bandwidth of 276 GB/s, ensuring better handling of complex graphics. Both cards offer 16 GB of VRAM and support Ray Tracing, Mesh Shaders, and VRS, but the RTX 5070 Ti's raw power gives it the edge. Just be aware that the RTX 5070 Ti's results are based on a thinner sample of 3 verified runs compared to the Radeon's 9.
Generated October 30, 2026 from the 17 verified runs available then. The verdict is never silently rewritten — new numbers get a new verdict.
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
