Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3060 Ti better than Quadro P3000 (móvel)?

Yes. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 20,312 vs 6,385 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is a 2020 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Quadro P3000 (móvel) is a 2017 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 2017, 218.1% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 4 GB, 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 today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is about $201 cheaper on MSRP at $399 MSRP versus $600 MSRP, and you are getting 218.1% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 378.4%. That is why the better overall card still comes out as the smarter buy today, not just the faster one.

Is Quadro P3000 (móvel) still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

Yes. Quadro P3000 (móvel) is still a strong modern gaming GPU: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It remains a good buy when you can get it meaningfully cheaper than the alternative around $600 MSRP, even if GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is still the cleaner recommendation on overall value today.
