Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Arc A770 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 3.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 0.5% in PassMark G3D (13,332 vs 13,264), 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: a 6nm process instead of 7nm, 32 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2020. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Arc A770 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $1,550 cheaper on MSRP at $349 vs $1,899, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 446.9% (38.2 vs 7.0), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
