Compare graphics cards

Pick two to four cards and see them side by side across price, performance, memory, power, technologies and physical size. Every comparable row marks a winner; rows where the cards tie, or where CompareYourGPU has no data, say so instead of guessing.

Winner by category

Each category is decided by the same numbers used everywhere else on the site. A category with no clear leader says so rather than picking one.

The shape of the trade-off

All six axes are normalised to a 0-100 scale so they can share one chart. Performance and ray tracing are CompareYourGPU’s estimated indices; value, VRAM, efficiency and features are each card’s standing relative to every other card tracked here.

Normalised comparison of RTX 4060 Ti 8GB, RX 9070 XT across six criteria, judged at 1440p.

Performance, memory and value

Estimated performance index at 1440p. 100 is the fastest card CompareYourGPU tracks.

CompareYourGPU estimate aggregated from public review coverage, not a measurement.

Estimated frame rate at 1440p in a typical modern AAA game at High settings, no upscaling.

Modelled from the performance index. Not a measured benchmark. Real results vary widely by title.

VRAM capacity.

Capacity alone is not the whole story: memory bus width and bandwidth decide how much of it the GPU can actually use.

Launch price.

CompareYourGPU scores value from launch MSRP because it does not carry a verified live price feed. Street prices differ.

Which one should you buy?

Maximum performance

RX 9070 XT

Highest estimated performance index at 1440p of the cards compared here, at 63. It is the right answer if frame rate is the only thing you are optimising for.

Best value

RX 9070 XT

Delivers the most performance per dollar of the cards compared, at $599. Choose this if the difference in price matters more to you than the difference in frame rate.

Ray tracing

RX 9070 XT

Strongest ray-traced performance here, with an estimated ray tracing index of 53 at 1440p. It also carries FSR 4, which is how ray tracing becomes practical.

Memory headroom

RX 9070 XT

Carries 16 GB, the most headroom of the cards compared at 1440p. Memory is usually what dates a card before raw speed does.

Small or quiet builds

RX 9070 XT

Best performance per watt of the cards compared, drawing 304 W. That means less heat, quieter fans and less pressure on your power supply.

Best overall

RX 9070 XT

Best balance of speed, price and memory of the cards compared: 50% performance at 1440p, 30% performance per dollar, 20% memory headroom. Not necessarily the fastest.

Popular head-to-head comparisons

These matchups have their own pages with additional editorial context and a comparison-specific FAQ.

  • RTX 5070 vs RX 9070

    $549 vs $549

    The closest thing to a straight fight in the mid-range: two cards launched days apart at almost the same price, with opposite strengths. AMD brings 16 GB of memory, NVIDIA brings stronger ray tracing and the wider upscaling catalogue.

  • RTX 5070 Ti vs RX 9070 XT

    $749 vs $599

    Both manufacturers' strongest mid-to-high offering, separated by $150 of launch MSRP. Both carry 16 GB. The question is whether NVIDIA's ray tracing and DLSS advantage is worth the premium over AMD's rasterisation-per-dollar.

  • RTX 5060 Ti 16GB vs RX 9060 XT 16GB

    $429 vs $349

    The two 16 GB cards under $450. Both pair a modest graphics processor with a generous memory pool on a narrow 128-bit bus, and both are aimed squarely at 1080p and entry-level 1440p.

  • RTX 5060 Ti 16GB vs RTX 5060 Ti 8GB

    $429 vs $379

    Same graphics processor, same clocks, same bandwidth, half the memory, $50 apart. This is the clearest example of a decision that specification sheets make look trivial and real-world use does not.

  • RTX 5090 vs RTX 5080

    $1,999 vs $999

    Twice the price for a large but not proportional performance gain, plus double the memory and a 215 W increase in board power. The question is whether the top of the range is a product or a statement.

  • Arc B580 vs RTX 5050

    $249 vs $249

    The two cheapest current-generation cards, taking opposite approaches. Intel offers 12 GB and a wider memory bus; NVIDIA offers the DLSS ecosystem and lower power draw at the same price.

  • RTX 5060 vs Arc B580

    $299 vs $249

    A $50 price gap between NVIDIA's entry 1080p card and Intel's memory-heavy alternative. One has the stronger software ecosystem, the other has 50 percent more VRAM.

  • RX 9070 XT vs RTX 5080

    $599 vs $999

    A $400 gap between AMD's fastest RDNA 4 card and NVIDIA's second-tier Blackwell. Worth examining because the rasterisation gap is much smaller than the price gap, and the ray tracing gap is much larger.
