What does this comparison mean?

The RX 7900 GRE leads the RTX 4070 in this benchmark and carries 16GB rather than 12GB. GRE is a distinct model designation, not another name for the RX 7900 XT or XTX. Check the full card name when comparing offers so the measured result and memory capacity match what you would actually receive.

RTX 4070 12GB has 12GB and RX 7900 GRE 16GB has 16GB of graphics memory. Memory capacity, board dimensions, power connectors and the price of a particular used card are separate from this benchmark. Compare the exact item before deciding whether to upgrade.

The two GPUs in context

RTX 4070 12GB

The RTX 4070 launched in April 2023 with Ada Lovelace architecture and 12GB of GDDR6X. It is separate from the RTX 4070 Super.

RX 7900 GRE 16GB

The RX 7900 GRE is a 16GB GDDR6 RDNA 3 model. It first reached the Chinese market in July 2023, before its wider international release, and is separate from the 20GB RX 7900 XT.

How the figures are compared

Both FPS figures come from the owner-supplied GPUsed benchmark dataset. GPUsed reports a continuous FurMark run at 1080p for its physical-card checks. The percentage compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.

GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. Full benchmark method.
