Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Quadro P3200 Max-Q is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 6.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 3.2% in PassMark G3D (6,500 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: 6 GB vs 4 GB of VRAM, a 6nm process instead of 16nm, 8 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2018. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Arc A380 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. Quadro P3200 Max-Q still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
