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

GeForce RTX 3060 Ti

2020

Why buy it

  • Costs $3,600 less on MSRP ($399 MSRP vs $3,999 MSRP).
  • Delivers 621.6% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 50.9 vs 7.1 G3D/$ ($399 MSRP vs $3,999 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • Draws 200W instead of 295W, a 95W reduction.
  • Measures 242mm instead of 267mm, a 25mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower average FPS than Radeon PRO W7900 across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • Less VRAM, with 8 GB vs 48 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • Radeon PRO W7900 is the safer long-term pick here because the hardware is newer and the feature stack is stronger.

Radeon PRO W7900

2023

Why buy it

  • 43.9% more average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data.
  • 500% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (48 GB vs 8 GB).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
Radeon PRO W7900 is the faster gaming card right now. In our data, it leads by 43.9% in average FPS across 50 tracked games in our benchmark data and by 38.9% in PassMark G3D (28,211 vs 20,312), so the answer here is pretty clean.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
Radeon PRO W7900 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 48 GB vs 8 GB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, FSR Upscaling / FSR 4 (2025) instead of DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020), a 5nm process instead of 8nm, and 96 vs 38 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 $3,600 cheaper on MSRP at $399 vs $3,999, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 621.6% (50.9 vs 7.1), which is enough to swing the recommendation its way. If you are mainly targeting 1080p and strong 1440p, GeForce RTX 3060 Ti is the easier value choice. If you care more about 1440p and 4K headroom, Radeon PRO W7900 has the stronger long-term case.
