Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon Pro W6800X Duo is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 13.3% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 4.9% in PassMark G3D (14,742 vs 14,060), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Arc B570 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 5nm process instead of 7nm and a newer 2025 generation instead of 2021. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Arc B570 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $4,780 cheaper on MSRP at $219 vs $4,999, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 2077% (64.2 vs 2.9), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. Radeon Pro W6800X Duo still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
