What does this comparison mean?
The RTX 4070 raises capacity from 6GB to 12GB and records more than twice the RX 5600 XT's FPS here. The Radeon result is specifically its 14Gbps BIOS configuration; a 12Gbps card needs its own comparison.
RX 5600 XT 6GB (14Gbps BIOS) has 6GB and RTX 4070 12GB has 12GB 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 5600 XT 6GB (14Gbps BIOS)
This row represents the RX 5600 XT 6GB at 14 Gbps. Sapphire documented that configuration through a January 2020 BIOS update for specific matching PULSE board part numbers.
RTX 4070 12GB
The RTX 4070 launched in April 2023 with Ada Lovelace architecture and 12GB of GDDR6X. It is separate from the RTX 4070 Super.
Release and feature sources: RX 5600 XT 6GB (14Gbps BIOS) source · RTX 4070 12GB source.
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 compares the higher model average with the lower one using the original FPS values. Our rating uses a compressed scale, with the fastest GPU at 100; it is separate from the percentage difference. A benchmark result does not predict gaming FPS.
GPUsed reports its physical-card checks typically last 30 to 60 minutes while temperature and stability are checked. The owner supplied the model-level FPS workbook on 2 October 2026; this benchmark dataset was last reconciled 3 October 2026. Historical cards tested are separate from the number of FPS runs behind a model average. RX 5600 XT 6GB (14Gbps BIOS) uses the 27-card Radeon RX 5600 XT 6GB family total; GPUsed has not split it by this exact variant. Full benchmark method.
