Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 2.7% in PassMark G3D (5,200 vs 5,065), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
FirePro W7100 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 4 GB of VRAM, a 28nm process instead of 40nm, and a newer 2014 generation instead of 2011. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $510 cheaper on MSRP at $289 vs $799, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 183.8% (18.0 vs 6.3), so the value case lines up with the gaming result. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and some 1440p, GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, FirePro W7100 has the stronger long-term case.
