Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon Pro 5600M is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 13.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data. PassMark G3D leans toward GeForce GTX 780 Ti instead at 9,469 vs 9,324, 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 5600M is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 3 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 7nm process instead of 28nm, and a newer 2020 generation instead of 2013. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce GTX 780 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 some 1440p, GeForce GTX 780 Ti is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, Radeon Pro 5600M has the stronger long-term case.
