GeForce MX110 vs GeForce RTX 3060 Ti: Pros, Cons & Final Verdict

See where each GPU makes more sense in practice: raw FPS, VRAM, features, power draw, pricing, and long-term headroom.

GeForce MX110

2017

Why buy it

  • Costs $299 less on MSRP ($100 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).
  • Draws 30W instead of 200W, a 170W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 3060 Ti across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • 2017 hardware with 512 MB of VRAM is already well past its comfortable zone for modern gaming, so it is hard to recommend now.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 14.2 vs 50.9 G3D/$ ($100 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

2020

Why buy it

  • 1090.6% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Delivers 259.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 50.9 vs 14.2 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $100 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 1500% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 512 MB).
  • Better long-term bet: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 566.7% higher power demand at 200W vs 30W.

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 1090.6% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1335.5% in PassMark G3D (20,312 vs 1,415), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 8 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 8nm process instead of 28nm, and 38 vs 0 ray-tracing units. That gives it more room for heavier textures and higher settings over time.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 3060 Ti makes the most sense to buy today. It is $299 more expensive on MSRP at $399 vs $100, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 259.8% (50.9 vs 14.2), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
