Quick Answers

So, is Arc A750 better than Quadro P5200 Max-Q?

Yes. Arc A750 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 12,600 vs 12,308 in G3D Mark. On top of that, Arc A750 is a 2022 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Quadro P5200 Max-Q is a 2018 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.

Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?

Arc A750 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2022 generation instead of 2018, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 4 GB, 100.0% more ray-tracing hardware, and a 6nm process instead of 16nm. That extra memory headroom makes it the safer pick for newer games, heavier textures, and higher settings over time.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

Arc A750 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $289 MSRP. Arc A750 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Arc A750 is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $289 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 2.4% higher G3D Mark. Moving to $289 MSRP gets you newer hardware, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack.

Is Quadro P5200 Max-Q still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Quadro P5200 Max-Q is still a strong gaming card in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. Price is really the swing factor here. If you find it at or below an unclear MSRP, it remains a very sensible buy. Arc A750 is still the safer recommendation for most fresh builds because it offers a cleaner overall package with newer hardware and no meaningful modern upscaling stack.
