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 55.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU instead at 12,144 vs 11,853, 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?

GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That still leaves it as the safer long-term option on hardware alone.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

Arc A770M 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, Arc A770M is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and lighter 1440p headroom, GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU has the stronger long-term case.
