Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce GTX 1060 (móvel) is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 31.7% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward Radeon PRO W6400 instead at 8,428 vs 8,160, 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?
Radeon PRO W6400 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 6nm process instead of 16nm, 12 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2022 generation instead of 2016. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon PRO W6400 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. GeForce GTX 1060 (móvel) still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
