Here we present frame rate figures for each graphics card, averaged across all 11 games on test today. These figures can disguise significant variations in performance from game to game, but provide a useful overview of the sort of performance you can expect at each resolution tested.

Overall, the MSI RTX 3070 Gaming X Trio outperforms the Nvidia Founders Edition by 2% at 1080p and 1440p, while this rises to 3% at 4K.

It may not be much, but the extra speed does mean MSI's card is actually marginally faster than the RTX 2080 Ti – by 1% on average at 4K. The RTX 3070 Founders Edition proved to be 2% slower than the RTX 2080 Ti at the same resolution.
