What does this comparison mean?
Moving from an RX 6650 XT to an RTX 4070 brings both a higher benchmark result and a larger 12GB memory buffer. If your current card is already meeting your needs, use the difference to judge the cost of changing rather than upgrading for the name alone.
RX 6650 XT 8GB has 8GB 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 6650 XT 8GB
The RX 6650 XT is an 8GB GDDR6 RDNA 2 model introduced with AMD's May 2022 Radeon refresh.
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.

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. Full benchmark method.
