Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce RTX 2060 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 95.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 175.9% in PassMark G3D (14,114 vs 5,115), so the answer here is pretty clean.

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

Arc A370M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 6nm process instead of 12nm and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2019. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce RTX 2060 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and lighter 1440p, GeForce RTX 2060 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, Arc A370M has the stronger long-term case.
