Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Quadro P3000 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 52.4% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1.3% in PassMark G3D (6,384 vs 6,301), so the answer here is pretty clean.

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

Arc A380 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 6nm process instead of 16nm, 8 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2016. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Arc A380 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $451 cheaper on MSRP at $149 vs $600, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 297.4% (42.3 vs 10.6), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Quadro P3000 still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
