What does this comparison mean?
The 3070 edges the 6700 XT in this benchmark, but the Radeon has 12GB against 8GB. Both cards have a credible case depending on the workload.
RX 6700 XT 12GB has 12GB and RTX 3070 8GB has 8GB 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
RX 6700 XT 12GB
The 12GB RX 6700 XT brought a larger buffer and strong 1440p raster capability to AMD's middle-high tier. It faced difficult launch-era pricing and supply, but its generous memory made the model a lasting comparison point.
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.

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.
