Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3060 better than Moore Threads MTT S80?

Yes. GeForce RTX 3060 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 16,995 vs 2,513 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3060 is a 2021 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Moore Threads MTT S80 is a 0 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 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting a newer 2021 generation instead of 0, 576.3% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 12 GB instead of 2 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 is the smarter buy by a wide margin. GeForce RTX 3060 is about 26.5% more expensive on MSRP at $329 MSRP versus $260 MSRP, and you are getting 576.3% higher G3D Mark. Moore Threads MTT S80 really only makes sense now as a very cheap stopgap or a used-market placeholder.

Is Moore Threads MTT S80 still worth buying for gaming in 2026?

No, not for a fresh gaming build. Moore Threads MTT S80 is 0 hardware with 2 GB of VRAM, 2,513 in G3D Mark, and no meaningful modern upscaling stack. That is simply too far behind to be an easy modern recommendation.
