See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

Arc Graphics 130T

2025

Why buy it

  • ✅Costs $99 less on MSRP ($300 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).
  • ✅Draws 15W instead of 200W, a 185W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • ❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (6,208 vs 20,312).
  • ❌Less VRAM, with Unknown vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • ❌No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • ❌Older hardware, Unknown of VRAM, and weaker feature support mean it will age faster in newer AAA releases.
  • ❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 20.7 vs 50.9 G3D/$ ($300 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

2020

Why buy it

  • ✅+227.2% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • ✅Delivers 146% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 50.9 vs 20.7 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $300 MSRP).
  • ✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • ✅100+% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs Unknown).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 227.2% in PassMark G3D (20,312 vs 6,208), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs Unknown of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 8nm process instead of Unknown node, and 38 vs 0 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti makes the most sense to buy today. It is $99 more expensive on MSRP at $399 vs $300, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 146% (50.9 vs 20.7), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
