Fragz' verdict
The RTX 5090 absolutely dominates this comparison, leading the Arc 140T GPU (8GB) by an incredible 1506.4% in overall GPU score. This massive performance gap is clear in our GPU benchmarks, where the RTX 5090 delivers 132.8 FPS in Earth II Vulkan and 171.4 FPS in Mission to Earth II DX12, while the Arc 140T GPU (8GB) manages only 5 FPS and 9.7 FPS respectively. Under the hood, the RTX 5090 backs this up with an ALU index of 1020560, a memory bandwidth of 660 GB/s, and 31 GB of VRAM, significantly outpacing the Arc 140T GPU (8GB)'s ALU index of 137105 and 17 GB/s bandwidth. It's important to note that the Arc 140T GPU (8GB) has only one verified run, so its performance figures come with a thin sample. For gamers seeking top-tier performance, the RTX 5090 is clearly the superior choice, as the Arc 140T GPU (8GB) cannot compete at this level.

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
