What does this comparison mean?
Moving from RTX 3050 8GB to RX 9070 GRE 12GB increases the recorded result from 102 to 301 FPS and graphics memory from 8GB to 12GB. The uplift is 195.1% in this workload with 4GB more capacity; the benchmark cannot tell us how much of the difference comes from memory rather than the rest of the GPU.
RTX 3050 8GB has 8GB and RX 9070 GRE 12GB has 12GB 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 3050 8GB
The desktop RTX 3050 launched in January 2022 with Ampere architecture and 8GB of GDDR6. This row does not cover the separate 6GB version.
RX 9070 GRE 12GB
The RX 9070 GRE pairs RDNA 4 architecture with 12GB of GDDR6. Its May 2025 release month refers to the Chinese market; it is distinct from the 16GB RX 9070 and RX 9070 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.
