What does this comparison mean?
The 7800 XT has a measured lead over the 3070 and doubles its memory to 16GB. This is a stronger capacity change than the model names convey.
RTX 3070 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 8GB
The RTX 3070 brought a substantial Ampere performance step to the 70-class position. Its 8GB memory was a clear design boundary beside faster 30-series siblings, tempering an otherwise effective launch role.
RX 7800 XT 16GB
The 16GB RX 7800 XT paired substantial memory with strong 1440p raster performance at a competitive launch price. It became the more persuasive of AMD's September 2023 pair, even though ray tracing remained a weaker point.

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 above compares the higher model average with the lower one; the score scales every model against the fastest GPU in the current dataset, which scores 100. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS, and the percentage may change with the benchmark dataset.
