Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

Arc A770M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 74.4% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1.8% in PassMark G3D (11,853 vs 11,639), so the answer here is pretty clean.

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

Arc A770M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 16 GB vs 6 GB of VRAM, a 6nm process instead of 12nm, 32 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2019. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce GTX 1660 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, GeForce GTX 1660 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, Arc A770M has the stronger long-term case.
