GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile vs Radeon Pro W5700: 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 RTX 3060 Mobile

2021

Why buy it

  • 11.8% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • Better long-term bet: Ampere on 8nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.
  • Draws 80W instead of 205W, a 125W reduction.

Trade-offs

  • Less VRAM, with 6 GB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 0 vs 18.0 G3D/$ (Unknown MSRP vs $799 MSRP).

Radeon Pro W5700

2019

Why buy it

  • Delivers 100+% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 18.0 vs 0 G3D/$ ($799 MSRP vs Unknown MSRP).
  • 33.3% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 6 GB).
  • More future proof: RDNA 1.0 (2019−2020) on 7nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead.
  • GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile is the safer long-term pick here because the hardware is newer and the feature stack is stronger.
  • 156.3% higher power demand at 205W vs 80W.

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 11.8% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 3.9% in PassMark G3D (14,938 vs 14,380), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3060 Mobile is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 30 vs 0 ray-tracing units and a newer 2021 generation instead of 2019. That makes it the less risky pick as game demands keep moving.
Which GPU is the better buy today?
Radeon Pro W5700 makes the most sense today based on the pricing and value data we have for this matchup.
