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

✅50.6% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
✅Costs $51 less on MSRP ($349 MSRP vs $400 MSRP).
✅Delivers 17.4% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 38.2 vs 32.5 G3D/$ ($349 MSRP vs $400 MSRP).
✅300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (16 GB vs 4 GB).

Trade-offs

❌No equivalent frame-generation stack like FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023).
❌Radeon RX 6600S is the safer long-term pick here because the hardware is newer and the feature stack is stronger.
❌181.3% higher power demand at 225W vs 80W.

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 50.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 2.4% in PassMark G3D (13,332 vs 13,016), so the answer here is pretty clean.

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

Radeon RX 6600S is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer feature stack, with FSR 3 (2023) and FSR Frame Generation + AFMF (2023), while Arc A770 is limited to no meaningful modern upscaling stack and no comparable frame-generation support. That still leaves it as the safer long-term option on hardware alone.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Arc A770 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $51 cheaper on MSRP at $349 vs $400, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 17.4% (38.2 vs 32.5), so the value case lines up with the gaming result. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and lighter 1440p, Arc A770 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and lighter 1440p headroom, Radeon RX 6600S has the stronger long-term case.
