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 57.0% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce RTX 3050 OEM instead at 11,892 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 OEM 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?
GeForce RTX 3050 OEM makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. Arc A770M still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
