Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?

GeForce GTX 1070 (móvel) is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 0.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) instead at 10,676 vs 10,465, 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?

GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 12nm process instead of 16nm, 30 vs 0 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2019 generation instead of 2016. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.

Which GPU is the better buy today?

GeForce RTX 2060 (móvel) makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. GeForce GTX 1070 (móvel) still makes more sense if max raw gaming performance matters more than value.
