Quick Answers

So, is GeForce GTX 770 better than Radeon 760M?

Yes. GeForce GTX 770 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 5,961 vs 5,449 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce GTX 770 is a 2013 card with no meaningful modern upscaling stack, while Radeon 760M is a 2024 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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?

Radeon 760M is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2024 generation instead of 2013, better upscaling support with FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, and a 4nm process instead of 28nm. That broader feature stack should age better as more games lean on modern upscaling and frame-generation support.

Which one is the smarter buy today, not just the cheaper card?

GeForce GTX 770 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce GTX 770 is priced in an unclear MSRP range at $399 MSRP versus an unclear MSRP, and you are getting 9.4% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%. Radeon 760M is the newer 2024 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 230W), and future-proofing than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon 760M make more sense than GeForce GTX 770?

Yes. Radeon 760M is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture, lower power draw (15W vs 230W), future-proofing, and staying closer to an unclear MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce GTX 770. The trade-off is that GeForce GTX 770 currently gives you 9.4% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 100+%.
