What does this comparison mean?
The RX 5700 XT 8GB leads the RTX 3060 12GB by 10 FPS in this workload, despite having less memory. This is a useful reminder that capacity and benchmark throughput are different: choosing the 3060 for a memory-heavy task is a separate decision from this result.
RX 5700 XT 8GB has 8GB and RTX 3060 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 5700 XT 8GB
The RX 5700 XT is an 8GB Radeon model introduced with the first RDNA generation in July 2019.
RTX 3060 12GB
The original RTX 3060 combines Ampere architecture with 12GB of GDDR6. It launched in February 2021 and is distinct from the later 8GB configuration.

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.
