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

GeForce RTX 3060

2021

Why buy it

  • +2830.2% higher PassMark G3D performance.
  • Delivers 389.8% more G3D Mark for each dollar spent, at 51.7 vs 10.5 G3D/$ ($329 MSRP vs $55 MSRP).
  • Access to DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020).
  • 2300% more VRAM for high-resolution textures and newer games (12 GB vs 512 MB).
  • Better long-term bet: Ampere on 8nm gives it a newer hardware base for upcoming games.

Trade-offs

  • 66.9% longer card at 242mm vs 145mm.

Moore Threads MTT S30

Why buy it

  • Costs $274 less on MSRP ($55 MSRP vs $329 MSRP).
  • Measures 145mm instead of 242mm, a 97mm shorter card that is more SFF-friendly.

Trade-offs

  • Lower PassMark G3D performance (580 vs 16,995).
  • Less VRAM, with 512 MB vs 12 GB for high-resolution textures and newer games.
  • No DLSS support; it relies on Upscaling support instead.
  • Older hardware with 512 MB of VRAM already sits in legacy territory for modern games.
  • Lower G3D Mark per dollar, at 10.5 vs 51.7 G3D/$ ($55 MSRP vs $329 MSRP).

Quick Answers

Which GPU is faster for gaming right now?
GeForce RTX 3060 is the faster gaming card right now based on the synthetic data we have. It leads by 2830.2% in PassMark G3D (16,995 vs 580), which is the best performance signal available in this matchup.
Which GPU is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond?
GeForce RTX 3060 is the safer long-term pick for 2026 and beyond. The case is simple: 12 GB vs 512 MB of VRAM, the newer upscaling stack, DLSS 2 Super Resolution (2020) instead of no meaningful modern upscaling stack, a 8nm process instead of 12nm, and 28 vs 0 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 makes the most sense to buy today. It is $274 more expensive on MSRP at $329 vs $55, and it leads G3D-per-dollar by 389.8% (51.7 vs 10.5), so the value case lines up with the gaming result.
