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 34.4% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward RTX A2000 instead at 13,464 vs 13,332, so for this question the real-game FPS result matters more than the synthetic split.

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: 16 GB vs 8 GB of VRAM, a 6nm process instead of 8nm, 32 vs 26 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2021. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Arc A770 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $101 cheaper on MSRP at $349 vs $450, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 27.7% (38.2 vs 29.9), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
