Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 105.3% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 94.1% in PassMark G3D (20,312 vs 10,465), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce GTX 1070 (Mobile) is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: a 4nm process instead of 8nm and a newer 2025 generation instead of 2020. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and strong 1440p, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, GeForce GTX 1070 (Mobile) has the stronger long-term case.
