Quick Answers

So, is GeForce RTX 3070 better than Radeon R7 PRO A10-9700B?

Yes. GeForce RTX 3070 is clearly the better overall GPU here. You are also looking at 22,172 vs 629 in G3D Mark. On top of that, GeForce RTX 3070 is a 2020 card with DLSS Super Resolution, while Radeon R7 PRO A10-9700B is a 2025 model from an older generation with FSR upscaling. 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 3070 is the more future-proof choice for 2026 and beyond. You are getting 3425.0% more raw performance headroom, more VRAM at 8 GB instead of 512 MB, and the stronger feature stack with DLSS Super Resolution instead of FSR upscaling. 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 3070 is the smarter buy today, but it is not as lopsided as a simple winner label makes it sound. GeForce RTX 3070 is about 319.3% more expensive on MSRP at $499 MSRP versus $119 MSRP, and you are getting 3425.0% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 740.6%. Radeon R7 PRO A10-9700B is the newer 2025 card, so it still has a real case if you care more about newer architecture than about squeezing out the strongest gaming value today.

When does Radeon R7 PRO A10-9700B make more sense than GeForce RTX 3070?

Yes. Radeon R7 PRO A10-9700B is still an excellent gaming GPU in 2026: it is still comfortable for 1080p and decent for 1440p, though 4K is more situational. It makes more sense if your priority is newer architecture and staying closer to $119 MSRP more than squeezing out the extra headroom of GeForce RTX 3070. The trade-off is that GeForce RTX 3070 currently gives you 3425.0% higher G3D Mark. It also leads G3D-per-dollar by 740.6%.
