Fragz' verdict
The RTX 5080 is the undisputed winner here, outperforming the Arc 140T GPU (8GB) by a staggering 855.9% in overall GPU score, though both cards are represented by thin sample sizes of only one or two verified runs. This immense lead translates directly to gaming performance, with the RTX 5080 delivering 73.6 FPS in Earth II Vulkan and 91.7 FPS in Mission to Earth II DX12, far surpassing the Arc's 5 FPS and 9.7 FPS in the same tests. Digging deeper, the RTX 5080 boasts a significantly higher raw compute with an ALU index of 800230, a robust 330 GB/s of memory bandwidth, and 16 GB of VRAM. In contrast, the Arc 140T GPU (8GB) with its 0 GB of measured VRAM and 17 GB/s bandwidth is simply not equipped for modern gaming, making it only viable for the absolute lightest workloads.

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
