Quick Answers

So, is Arc A770 better than Radeon RX 6600S?

Yes, but this is not really about a huge raw performance gap. The broader synthetic picture is also very close at 13,332 vs 13,016 in G3D Mark. The bigger reason to prefer Arc A770 is the overall package: you are getting no meaningful modern upscaling stack.

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

Radeon RX 6600S is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting better upscaling support with FSR 3 (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack and better frame-generation support with FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

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

Arc A770 can still make sense if you find it at the right price, especially around $349 MSRP. Arc A770 is still the smarter buy for most people, though, because the raw performance is close while the overall package is cleaner. Arc A770 is about $51 cheaper on MSRP at $349 MSRP versus $400 MSRP, and you are getting 2.4% higher G3D Mark. Radeon RX 6600S is the more forward-looking alternative, so it still has a real case if you care more about lower power draw (80W vs 225W) and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon RX 6600S make more sense than Arc A770?

Yes. Radeon RX 6600S is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is very strong for 1080p, good for 1440p, and more limited at 4K. It makes more sense if your priority is lower power draw (80W vs 225W), future-proofing, and staying closer to $400 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of Arc A770. The trade-off is that Arc A770 currently gives you 2.4% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 17.4%.
