Live benchmark data
In verified runs saved here, RX 9070 XT averages 16% higher FPS. Averages mix every resolution and settings level owners actually ran, so treat this as a directional signal, not a lab result.
Verdict — RTX 3060
Aged surprisingly well because of that VRAM. Cheap on the used market and still competent for 1080p. Local LLM/Stable Diffusion crowd loves it for the VRAM/price ratio.
Verdict — RX 9070 XT
The best AMD card since the 6800 XT. Raster performance rivals the 5070 Ti; RT is closer than ever but still a step behind. FSR 4 finally competitive with DLSS at Quality settings.
