Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 2060 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 576.5% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 1651.1% in PassMark G3D (14,114 vs 806), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon R7 PRO A10-9700 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020), a 4nm process instead of 12nm, 64 vs 30 ray-tracing units, and a newer 2025 generation instead of 2019. That gives it the more rounded hardware package for newer games.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
GeForce RTX 2060 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $180 more expensive on MSRP at $349 vs $169, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 748% (40.4 vs 4.8), so the value case lines up with the gaming result. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and lighter 1440p, GeForce RTX 2060 is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1080p and some 1440p headroom, Radeon R7 PRO A10-9700 has the stronger long-term case.
