Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce GTX 570 Rev. 2 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 3.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1.1% in PassMark G3D (5,500 vs 5,438), so the answer here is pretty clean.

Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?

Arc A310 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 6nm process instead of 40nm, 6 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2010. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Arc A310 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $249 cheaper on MSRP at $100 vs $349, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 245.1% (54.4 vs 15.8), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. GeForce GTX 570 Rev. 2 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
