What does this comparison mean?
The 9070 XT is far above the 8GB 4060 in the benchmark and doubles its memory. The two target different performance tiers.
RTX 4060 8GB has 8GB and RX 9070 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 4060 8GB
The RTX 4060 brought Ada features and strong efficiency into the 60-class, but its 8GB configuration framed much of the debate around the card. It is a capable 1080p option with a narrower historical claim than earlier mainstream leaders.
RX 9070 XT 16GB
The 16GB RX 9070 XT gave RDNA 4 a credible upper-tier launch and a clear improvement in Radeon ray tracing. Its long-term influence remains unproven, so this assessment centres on its documented first-year performance and position.

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.
