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

Arc A770

2022

Why buy it

✅Costs $250 less on MSRP ($349 MSRP vs $599 MSRP).
✅33.3% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (16 GB vs 12 GB).

Trade-offs

❌Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 4070 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
❌GeForce RTX 4070 is the safer long-term pick here because the hardware is newer and the feature stack is stronger.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 38.2 vs 44.9 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $599 MSRP).

GeForce RTX 4070

2023

Why buy it

✅29.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Delivers 17.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 44.9 vs 38.2 G3D/$ ($599 MSRP vs $349 MSRP).
✅Access to a newer frame-generation stack with DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023).
✅Better long-term bet: Ada Lovelace (2022−2024) on 5nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Less VRAM, with 12 GB vs 16 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce RTX 4070 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 29.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 101.9% in PassMark G3D (26,919 vs 13,332), so the answer here is pretty clean.

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

GeForce RTX 4070 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer feature stack, with DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution (2023) and DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation (2023), while Arc A770 is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support, a 5nm process instead of 6nm, 46 vs 32 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2023 generation instead of 2022. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce RTX 4070 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $250 more expensive on MSRP at $599 vs $349, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 17.6% (44.9 vs 38.2), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.

Advanced Features (DLSS/FSR)

The clearest feature edge for the GeForce RTX 4070 is support for DLSS 3.5 + Frame Generation. In games that support it, that can smooth out motion and lift perceived FPS. The Arc A770 does not have comparable native support in the same tier.The GeForce RTX 4070 gets NVIDIA DLSS, which still tends to look cleaner in motion. The Arc A770 leans on FSR, which is flexible and widely supported, but usually a bit rougher at the same settings.
