What does this comparison mean?
The 9070 XT keeps the 7800 XT's 16GB capacity while moving much higher in the supplied benchmark. This is a performance step without a memory-capacity step.
Both variants have 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
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.
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.
