Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 14.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 52.4% in PassMark G3D (20,312 vs 13,332), so the answer here is pretty clean.

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

Arc A770 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 16 GB vs 8 GB of VRAM, a 6nm process instead of 8nm, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2020. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti makes the most sense to buy today. It is $50 more expensive on MSRP at $399 vs $349, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 33.3% (50.9 vs 38.2), so the value case lines up with the gaming result. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and strong 1440p, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and lighter 1440p headroom, Arc A770 has the stronger long-term case.
