GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

2020

Why buy it

✅+7772.9% higher PassMark G3D performance.
✅Delivers 3826.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 50.9 vs 1.3 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $199 MSRP).
✅Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
✅3100% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (8 GB vs 256 MB).
✅More future proof: Ampere (2020−2025) on 8nm with a newer platform for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

❌Fewer clear downsides in this head-to-head, aside from the usual pricing and availability swings.

Quadro FX 570

2008

Why buy it

✅Costs $200 less on MSRP ($199 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

Trade-offs

❌Lower PassMark G3D performance (258 vs 20,312).
❌Less VRAM, with 256 MB vs 8 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
❌No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
❌Very weak future-proofing: 2008-era hardware with 256 MB of VRAM is already obsolete for modern gaming and is hard to recommend today.
❌Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 1.3 vs 50.9 G3D/$ ($199 MSRP vs $399 MSRP).

Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3060 Ti better than Quadro FX 570?

Yes. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 20,312 vs 258 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is a 2020 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Quadro FX 570 is a 2008 model from an older generation with no meaningful modern upscaling stack. 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?

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2020 generation instead of 2008, 7772.9% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 256 MB, and better upscaling support with DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That leaves it with more room for heavier textures, tougher ray tracing loads, and higher-end 1440p or 4K gaming over the next few years.

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

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is about 100.5% more expensive on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $199 MSRP, and you are getting 7772.9% higher G3D Mark. Quadro FX 570 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Quadro FX 570 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Quadro FX 570 is 2008 hardware with 256 MB of VRAM, 258 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
