What does this comparison mean?
The 4090 is faster than the 9070 XT in this dataset and has 24GB against 16GB. Their distinct tiers make price and workload central to the choice.
RTX 4090 24GB has 24GB 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 4090 24GB
The RTX 4090 set a striking new high-end performance level and held the top consumer gaming position until Blackwell. Its power and price put it beyond most builds, yet its technical lead gives it an unusually clear place in GPU history.
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.
