See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

Arc A750

2022

Why buy it

  • Costs $40 less on MSRP ($289 MSRP vs $329 MSRP).
  • More future proof: Generation 12.7 (2022−2023) on 6nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 3060 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 12 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 43.6 vs 51.7 G3D/$ ($289 MSRP vs $329 MSRP).
  • 32.4% higher power demand at 225W vs 170W.

GeForce RTX 3060

2021

Why buy it

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 3060 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 8.9% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 34.9% in PassMark G3D (16,995 vs 12,600), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3060 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 12 GB vs 8 GB of VRAM and the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 3060 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $40 more expensive on MSRP at $329 vs $289, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 18.5% (51.7 vs 43.6), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
