Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 1060 better than Moore Threads MTT S70?
Yes. GeForce GTX 1060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 10,064 vs 1,880 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce GTX 1060 is a 2016 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Moore Threads MTT S70 is a 0 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. So this is not really a tight same-tier comparison. It is more a modern card against an older, weaker alternative.
Which one is more future-proof for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GTX 1060 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2016 generation instead of 0, 435.3% more raw performance headroom, and more VRAM at 6 GB instead of 512 MB. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.
Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?
GeForce GTX 1060 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce GTX 1060 is about $96 cheaper on MSRP at $249 MSRP versus $345 MSRP, and you are getting 435.3% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 641.7%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.
Is Moore Threads MTT S70 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?
Yes. Moore Threads MTT S70 is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $345 MSRP, even if GeForce GTX 1060 is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
