What does this comparison mean?

The RX 7800 XT doubles the RTX 3070 Ti's 8GB capacity and leads this workload. That combination makes it a different proposition from a same-memory replacement, although a move away from NVIDIA still needs an application compatibility check.

RTX 3070 Ti 8GB has 8GB and RX 7800 XT 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 3070 Ti 8GB

The RTX 3070 Ti launched in June 2021 with Ampere architecture and 8GB of GDDR6X, unlike the RTX 3070's GDDR6.

RX 7800 XT 16GB

The RX 7800 XT combines RDNA 3 with 16GB of GDDR6. It became available in September 2023 alongside the 12GB RX 7700 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.
