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 1.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 0.3% in PassMark G3D (13,332 vs 13,295), so the answer here is pretty clean.

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

Radeon RX 6800M 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 and 40 vs 32 ray-tracing units. 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 $250 cheaper on MSRP at $349 vs $599, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 72.1% (38.2 vs 22.2), 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 6800M has the stronger long-term case.
